The election of Donald Trump as president is a bitter pill to swallow for millions of Americans and some are backing a quixotic campaign to reverse that outcome.
As of Friday afternoon, more than 2.4 million people had signed a petition to the U.S. Electoral College, urging its members to ignore their states votes and cast their ballots for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic, wrote Elijah Berg, who launched the petition on Change.org.
Berg, of North Carolina, argued that the Electoral College can award the White House to either candidate and should use its own most undemocratic institution to ensure a democratic result.
Berg continued: 24 states bind electors. If electors vote against their party, they usually pay a fine. And people get mad. But they can vote however they want and there is no legal means to stop them in most states.

No problem. We will start a petition to encourage the Electoral College to elect Donald J. Trump as President. The EC will have two competing petitions that cancel each other out.
Regardless, I am locked and loaded and pretty sure electors would suffer if they decided to pull their votes from Trump.
STUPID.
Hillary called Trump voters deplorable.
Because they disagreed with her.
Deplorable because we rejected her.
Thats what voting against her meant.
Remember she said we have a right to disagree, its patriotic. And speak out about it.
If,you do not agree with them you are racist ,sexist, homophobic, etc. Hateful.
They cant comprehend valid reasons for being opposed to them.
Shows how small their brains are and how large their narcissistic god complex egos are.
In other words, up to 1.5 million crimes were committed, with at most a very few of the perps being charged. How sick is this system!
These little skinflakes best recognize the tactics that may work at a coffee shop won’t fly trying to influence a Federal election. Silly rabbits...voting is for adults!
Amen.
First, they want to get rid of the Electoral College...
now, they want to keep it?
The left is a moving target.
Nope they stay in the same place and expect the target to move to their point of aim/view. Now they don’t want to get rid of it, it just needs to do what they tell it to.
Maybe Romney and Kasich too.
Was Bill Kristol the first to sign?
Funny how few of these Liberals shouted loudly about BILL Clinton’s behavior in the Governors off & in the Oval Office.
HE raped women——and still is a pervert. Shrillary blamed everyone & the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy for all those incidents.
Delusional-—all of them.
Donald Trump: The Echo of our Framers' Uncorrupted President.
What losers.
If Hillary can accept the fact that Trump won, why can’t these people?
Perhaps their brains are NOT working for them?
“We are a nation of laws, not petitions.”
That’s good. Our Constitutional fathers would call it mob rule.
What they want is a shooting war in their front yards.
No WAY they can get 2 mil signatures in 2 days. Doesn’t matter if they get a mil more. The US CONSTITUTION is clear and can’t be over set by some sore loser cry babies. TRUMP BEAT their Evil Witch with out voter fraud! Thank GOD for the Electoral College!
They have never earned a thing in their lives but participation trophies. So their tiny emotions can’t cope. Give them some Prozac in their Starbucks. Let them keep it up and pull their scholarships and welfare. Kick them out of college to go to work as McD workers because that is all they are qualified to do if that.

The oversea and mailed in ballots.
“As soon as we saw where HRC was reputed to have less than 0.2% more popular votes than Trump, you could bet that the ‘Rats would be railing against the “injustice” of the presidential Electoral system. Of course, her advantage in the popular vote is a mirage caused by the massive voting fraud and cheating operations conducted by ‘Rats around the country.”
Furthermore, where was this supposed majority achieved? In California? New York? OK. She’s popular there. Let her run for governor in both, or the one she likes best, or whatever. But the rules of the Presidential race are the rules at present. If they can amend the Constitution tomorrow, the race was not run under those rules, and the Electoral College procedure remains binding. Trump’s the POTUS Elect. We didn’t like it when Obama won, we wouldn’t have liked it if Hillary had won. But the DOPes should person up and lose graciously, as we have in the past, and mumble under their breaths, “wait’ll next time” like a sulky school young person, at most.
