Donald J. Trump has won the electoral college vote! Texas took their good old time, thanks to Austin, and cast the final state EV for Trump.
He won 306 electoral votes November 8th. Now they have been officially counted to confirm Donald Trump as our 45th president. Our republican electors have been faithful and respected our millions of votes and thirty states that chose Trump / Pence.
These loyal electors honestly represented the voters that chose Trump/Pence to lead our great nation. They did not bend under enormous pressure to betray us and become 'faithless' electors. Thank God for faithful electors that we have historically taken for granted in the past when things were less polarized.
It's great to have strong loyal electors in the thirty Trump/Pence state wins. They have dealt with tons of mail, intimidation, harassment and threats just for doing their job as a state elector. It's hard to imagine how crazy their lives have become these past few weeks and I'm sure they are relieved and thrilled that it's finally over.
God Bless Donald Trump the 45th President of the United States of America and Mike Pence the 48th Vice President of our Great Nation!
In Texas 2016GE, 4,685,000 Republicans voted for Donald Trump.
Texas has 38 Electoral Votes to represent the voice of Texas.
Each elector represents over 123,000 votes in the state of Texas.
Each Benedict Arnold just disenfranchised 123,000 Republican Texans.
These Faithless men -disloyal souls should to be routed out & kicked out of Texas.
Texas and the other states with lame provisions need to insist on loyalty.
And that faux- first responder-ashley madison-unfaithful husband should have been replaced prior to the final vote.
Texas has work to do, but all are happy for the Big 36 Electoral Votes.
The party needs to a better picker. They need to change the laws governing rogue electors.
Yea! Trump/Pence! Try to imagine how drunk Hillary is right now!
Nice, I would love to dance to that!

AP Fake News most especially was lame!
Happy days are here again!!!!!!!!
Need to watch that every day, it’s so much fun to watch him win over & over.
He only got 99.35 % of the 306 votes! Election fraud!
Calling all snowflakes: Go to your nearest Starbuck’s and hyperventilate and hug!
I’m hearing from multiple sources it was William Greene out of CD34 that includes Brownsville and Corpus Christie. Not verified, but good sources.
Nice :)
Thanks for the information.
William Lawrence Greene
“When the results were announced for the electoral college in Texas, out of 38 votes, 36 went to Trump. One went to John Kasich and one went to Ron Paul. It wasn’t immediately clear who cast the vote for Paul, but many people were happy about it.
Later, Sean Walsh of the Statesman reported that the vote came from Bill Greene of CD 34.”
Welcome!
Did not post until the info was at least somewhat public.
I’d hope Mr. Greene would reap the whirlwind, but given the makeup of CD34, it’s not likely. Sigh...
Here is the traitor, William Greene:
Professor in the Government department at South Texas College (all campuses), McAllen, TX
From the Houston News:
“When Texas electors were chosen last May 14 IT WAS CLEAR THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS THE PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE of the Republican Party,”
Mann, a political operative from Lubbock, wrote on his blog, Standstorm Scholar.
“Every person who asked to be an elector did so fully informed of who was to be the nominee.
“Each of us SIGNED A PLEDGE that, as electors, we will support the nominee when called to Austin on December 19.”
The item was posted on the blog after Texas elector Christopher Suprun of Dallas wrote in NYT opinion piece that he plans to vote for another as-yet-to-be-named Republican, citing Trump’s rhetorical excesses and saying he “lacks the foreign policy experience and demeanor needed to be commander in chief.”
That came after Houston area elector Art Sisneros resigned saying religious objections would not allow him to cast his vote for Trump.
Both Sisneros and Suprun, each dubbed “faithless electors” because of their refusal to follow the state’s popular vote, have noted that the Electoral College was something of a fail-safe that the framers included in the U.S. Constitution. In article titled “Federalist No. 68,” Alexander Hamilton wrote that electors could in effect nullify the will of the voters in the event they were to choose a presidential candidate with “talents for low intrigue” and other shortcomings......
Piytar & All-
They are both fraudulent actors and liars that broke an oath that they made to the citizens of Texas =Two Jackasses.
They should be publicly humiliated and treated as such-traitors and liars. These men had seven months to step down.
Texas and the other non-bound elector states need to wake-up and bind their electors to the vote, asap.
MAINE-———
A ‘faithless elector’ from Maine explains why he decided to vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders. “I am not a Clinton elector, I am a Democratic elector,” he said. Elector David Bright said that knowing Clinton would lose, he was “left to find a positive statement to make today.”
There’s no penalty under Maine law to punish someone for doing this.
His vote was eventually ruled to be “improper” and recast for Hillary Clinton.
MINNESOTA-———
For all the anticipatory rhetoric about a potential wave of Electors refusing to endorse Trump, it may come as a surprise that the first “faithless elector” to emerge in Monday’s Electoral College vote was in Minnesota has refused to vote not for Trump but for Hillary Clinton.
As the Hill reports, Muhammad Abdurrahman, a former Bernie Sanders delegate to the Democratic National Convention, attempted to vote for no candidate, according to The Associated Press’s Kyle Potter.
Abdurrahman’s vote was declared invalid and an alternate elector was appointed, allowing the state to go ahead and deliver its 10 electoral votes for Hillary Clinton.
Many liberals have protested Donald Trump’s presidential election victory, calling on Republican electors to refuse to back Trump. Instead, the day’s first “faithless elector” is a DemocraT.
Pretty sure as a result of calling him out before the info was public, I may get an unwelcome visit by the authorities soon. Oh well. Was worth it.
BtW most of the signers of the Declaratioon of Independence ended up killed or financially destroyed. Pretty good company IMHO, not that I come close to rating with them...
