Electoral College meets amid effort to deny Trump presidency

WASHINGTON (AP) — Electors are gathering Monday in every state to formally elect Donald Trump president even as anti-Trump forces try one last time to deny him the White House.

Protests are planned Monday for state capitals, but they’re unlikely to persuade the Electoral College to dump Trump. An Associated Press survey of electors found very little appetite to vote for alternative candidates.

Republican electors say they have been deluged with emails, phone calls and letters urging them not to support Trump.

The AP tried to reach all 538 electors and interviewed more than 330 of them, finding widespread aggravation among Democrats with the electoral process.

They know it won't happen. They just want to be able to say that Trump stole the election for the next four years.

Ultimately they want civil war.

“finding widespread aggravation among Democrats with the electoral process”
Gee, when Hildabeast was looking to win with the same process there were no problems!

Why is this written about even at Breitbart as if it is a serious issue?

“Protests are planned Monday for state capitals, but they’re unlikely to persuade the Electoral College to dump Trump.”

Weather is too cold for the snowflakes, which is ironic, but funny.

It is fitting that Biden has to announce the results.

I remember 2008 when 0bama won, and still the democrats were mean, nasty, and aggravated. There is no pleasing them, because whatever they get, it is never enough. They are like spoiled children.

Electoral college details.

1) The electors in each state meet in their state’s capitol, at a time determined by each state, not in coordination with other states. They never all assemble as a group.

2) Each elector fills out and has certified six copies of their vote, that go to the US congress, the national archivist, and their states federal district judge.

3) The votes going to the US congress are sent by USPS. Hopefully by overnight mail, that is at least certified. It being the Christmas rush, we should hope that they arrive in Washington, D.C. before New Years Day.

The Dems and the media are sore losers, plain and simple. Oh, they are also quite nasty in defeat.

In this day and age you’d think it would be FedX over night done. Or electronically done.

Don’t know about any one’s USPS but ours sucks, and is at least 2 days late even on Amazon Prime stuff. Netfix is never delivered on Mondays even when it is due in. Stuff comes in damaged too, and wrong address.

It’s humorous to think that Hollywood celebrities are so big on themselves that they actually think their pleas will result in electors switching their votes.

Since none of them own a gun, much less know how to handle one, I doubt they seriously want a civil war. BUT WE CAN HOPE!!

even as anti-Trump forces try one last time to deny him the White House.

If you believe this will be the last time or thing these haters do to deny Trump the Presidency you might want to stand by!
