Over Two Million People Have Signed A Petition Asking The Electoral College To Elect Hillary
Townhall ^ | Nov 11, 2016 | Christine Rousselle

Posted on 11/11/2016 9:02:00 PM PST by Cheerio

A Change.org petition asking the Electoral College to elect Hillary Clinton instead of Donald Trump has garnered over 2 million signatures. The petition states that Trump is unfit to serve, and that because Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, she should be president.



We are calling on the Electors to ignore their states' votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton. Why?

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.

Secretary Clinton WON THE POPULAR VOTE and should be President.

Hillary won the popular vote. The only reason Trump "won" is because of the Electoral College.

But the Electoral College can actually give the White House to either candidate. So why not use this most undemocratic of our institutions to ensure a democratic result?

SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE.

There is no reason Trump should be President.

Just proves 2 million idiots don’t know their basic civics.

The electors are selected by the state parties.

We voted, we won, and they lost.

They can take their petition and stick it up their sorry leftist asses.

Apparently, these leftist scumbags can’t wrap their empty little heads around the concept of the electoral college.

This was reported after Brexit, and then they found a lot of fakes.

Sorry, folks. You can’t have it both ways. The electors are supposed to vote for the person who won the popular vote in their state.

But if you want to go that route, let’s look at California’s illegals voting....

In fact, let’s take a good hard look at illegals, dead people, etc., voting in all of the States.

You might regret opening up this can of worms.

I don’t think the counting is done... but I may be wrong.

They are probably manufacturing Dem votes as we speak.

According to numbers I have been watching, she has is up to almost 400K more in popular vote from 200K election night... but so what, California and New York had 4 million extra votes for her over Trump, and only 400K difference still nationwide? I don’t want L.A. and N.Y. City picking my president every single election.
Say what you will, Trump’s campaign was for electoral votes, that’s our system, he was not campaigning to win the popular vote, the strategy would be different. We were told the opposite would happen, remember?
I am not real happy with electoral process, but WAY better than popular vote. No way Trump makes multiple trips he did to New Hampshire using popular vote system.
I think electors need to be bound for one... our votes feel diluted already, but that is a slap in the face.
Elections all controlled by states, if you could force them to all split the electoral votes I suppose it could be a little more fair or better representative?? I still like winner take all myself, but let the states that decide to split them split them, Elections have consequences!
To me, splitting them up feels more like everybody gets a trophy for participation or my 8 year old grand daughter playing a soccer game, without a goalies and “not keeping score”... Lol she will still tell you she scored 3 tonight and they won, because she knows how to count.

I’m not worried.

I could start a petition to Crown a Smurf, and by tomorrow morning there’d be 10mill+

Which one of those paid off protesters is willing to be the first martyr for the cause? The fat pig who said people will have to die? Or maybe the raging female shouting about killing the unborn? Because if their wishes came to pass, it would be a civil war. They would lose horribly.

What is a “popular vote”?

It doesn’t exist other than in people’s minds.

Election watchdog groups estimate at least 2 million illegals alone voted nationwide. Who knows how many “Legal” non citizens illegally voted. Trump won the Citizen Popular vote by at least 4-5 percent. No one wins over 300 electoral votes (306 in Trumps case once Michigan is eventually given to him) and doesn’t go on to win the popular vote, short of massive voter/election fraud in the states the loser won.

Plus, remember Obama just a week ago encourage illegals to vote.

More silliness

We have to take it seriously. Keep in mind the coup attempt against the Trump candidacy was just over a month ago. Globally, the invisible hand will do whatever it takes to keep power.

I suspect they're over-playing that hand. There is a significant percentage of fundamentally decent (but misguided) liberals who understand the importance of accepting the results of an election. That might be why the anarchists aren't able to take over the protests. That and there are some sane people, even in places such as Portland, who don't want their city to become Ferguson or Baltimore.

JMHO
