Donald J. Trump & Mike Pence Officially Win the Electoral Vote as POTUS & VP of the USA
270 to win -live count ^ | December 19, 2016 | self plus 270TW for source

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!

So far it seems like (assuming no faithless in CA or HI):

Donald Trump 304 (or 305?)

Hillary Clinton 225

Colin Powell 3

Bernie Sanders 2 (stupid DNC calling them out, I give him back them from MN and ME)

John Kasich 1

Ron Paul 1

Faith Spotted Eagle 1

Abstained 1 (or 0? depends on the CO elector)

Two from Texas, the others who stiffed Killary.

There will be *more*, come next election.

A dangerous precedent was set, today.

Dems are demons.

I hope Trump now launches a "thank you" tour of the electoral college lol. Rub the media’s collective nose in it, as he has been doing in the battleground states.

Trump: “some stupid college professor declared the other day that 'the electoral college is in play.' Then, all of a sudden, at 5:45 PM, December 19, we have breaking news! Donald J Trump wins the electoral college vote “ (roaring applause) hehehe

After a great liberal and celebrity effort to get Presidential Electors for Trump to change their votes and perhaps get the approximate 37 then needed, the subverting Democrats ended up with twice the defecting Electors refusing to vote for Hillary as compared to the two that failed to vote for Trump.

Yeah and 7 of the “effective” faithless electors came straight from HRC. Only 2 came from Trump.

If all states voted like ME and NE, Clinton would have likely won about 12 EV’s from Texas - but that would be made up with Trump winning about 14 EV’s from California and about 10 EV’s from New York.

In the end, there wasn’t a lot of drama in the vote. There were 6 faithless electors, however, including 4 in Washington and two in Texas.

While ‘6’ is a small number, this is the highest number of faithless electors for president since the 19th century.

There were attempts by electors in Colorado, Maine and Minnesota to cast faithless votes, but these were disallowed.

Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president at noon on January 20, 2017. MAGA

"Pox on the two faithless electors from Texas."

The GOPe wanted this to happen. They could have stopped it
immediately by replacing those two idiots. The GOPe let
it happen just to spite Trump. Sort of like a last
"spite check" in chess before you're checkmated.

I would like to see some voters get together and sue these
clowns for disenfranchising them in this election.

Suprun was faithless. The other one is hiding his or her name. Gee, wonder why? /spit

Both were from Texas. As a Texan, that really ticks me off.

But Hillary had FOUR faithless electors. To be blunt, they tick me off, too. Even though I opposed Hillary with every bone of my body - and contributions to Trump - faithless electors are a threat to our form of government. They should go to prison for perjury. (Electors have to swear under oath to obey the will of the people in their state.)

Those CO, ME and MN voters likely were stopped by DNC dirty tricks more than anything.

There should be Zero faithless tolerated..

We chose them and put our faith in them to represent them.

Faithless should be kicked to the curb and replaced if they are unable to be loyal.

Just like a unfaithful cheatin’ spouse, kick them out.

I just read the one Colorado faithless elector was going to vote for Sanders as well. That leads to a REAL result:

So far it seems like (assuming no faithless in CA or HI):

Donald Trump 304

Hillary Clinton 225

Colin Powell 3

Bernie Sanders 3 (stupid DNC calling them out)

John Kasich 1

Ron Paul 1

Faith Spotted Eagle 1
