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.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is a Hillary kool-aid carrying liberal dope.
Stupid liberals. They have the minds of children.
What’s the point of having a petition?
We just had the ultimate petition on Tuesday.
HEY Michael Walsh et al!
Hundreds of Millions Around The World Are Delighted That Trump Is President!
Pound Sand Idiots!
Liberals always lecture us about respecting electoral integrity.
Until the result goes against them. Then they change their tune.
Remember that Democrats usually fabricate votes to the effect of 5-10 million per Presidential Election.
Knowing this, their petition to call for the winner of the popular vote to become President would still be Donald Trump.
Yawn. Leftards being leftards. They’ll never stop being silly.
The winning Presidential candidate’s slate of potential Electors are appointed as the state’s Electors.
IOW, Republican electors are going forward from the states that Trump won.
They are like the British who wanted a do-over on Brexit.
“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,
I thought he was talking about the Clintons.
An irony of the Elecroral College is that the Electors are not bound to the wishes of the voters of their stare.
Have fun with your little petitions children.
Once you grow up and read the Constitution, you’ll see that it doesn’t allow change by petition.
America had her say and you lost.
Life is tough. It’s tougher when you’re stupid!
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!
They’re “going off the rails on a crazy train”.
Dear liberals:
Before you go starting a civil war please try to remember that we own most of the guns in this country.
Professionally,

They truly are scum. I think it starts at the top with Marissa Mayer. This has only gotten incredibly-bad under her reign.
She was an Obama bundler. Big surprise.
So she’s as much a radical as her hero.
First, they want to get rid of the Electoral College...
now, they want to keep it?
The left is a moving target.
These people are itching for a civil war. This nonsense is being encouraged and supported by Hillary, Obama and the DNC.”
We played cowboys and Indians before..... we ain’t played cowboys and liberals yet.
Math; it’s hard!!!
Oh now it’s up to millions.
Where do these morons come from. I mean, why does it even merit an article?
We have a constitution. We have laws. These things aren’t changed be petitions.
