Democrats warned that the counting up the number of votes to see who received more was textbook fascism. "Democracy cannot survive in a system where you add up votes, because people could vote for fascists. Voting is how democracy dies," explained Democratic Senator Adam Schiff.

What about that compact 20 plus states signed promising to deliver their electoral college votes to the popular vote winner?
Are California and New York now going to cast their votes for Trump?
LOL
