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.

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.

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!

finding widespread aggravation

The writer should consult a dictionary when he doesn't know what a word means.

Deseret News Utah

By Amy Joi O’Donoghue@amyjoi16

Demonstrators hoping to reach Utah’s electors gather on the steps of the Utah State Capitol building in Salt Lake City on Sunday, Dec. 18, 2016. About 20 people gathered with the hope of influencing Utah’s electors not to vote for Donald Trump.

SALT LAKE CITY — A candlelight vigil was held Sunday at the Utah State Capitol to call on Utah’s six Republican presidential electors to change their vote and usher in a different president than Donald J. Trump.

It’s a highly emotional calling for opponents of Trump’s victory in November, critics who are rallying in advance of Monday’s traditionally routine gathering of 538 electors to ratify the results of the election.

For Lisa Browdy, it’s personal.

“I find him frightening and an unqualified person,” the Utah resident said.

Browdy said it should be noted that while Trump won Utah in the election, he received just 45 percent of the vote.

“Utah rules say electors have to vote for Trump,” she conceded, but noted there are ways to choose a more qualified candidate, especially given homegrown favorites like Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman Jr.

The push for electors to change their vote has swept across the country in what most say is a feeble attempt to derail Trump’s ascension to the White House.

State laws vary, but many require electors to vote for the candidate who won the popular vote in their state. If they cast a vote for anyone else, it can be prosecutable crime.

Under Utah law, Trump must receive all the state’s Electoral College votes as the winner of the Nov. 8 presidential election here. Electors who fail to comply are replaced but do not face any penalties. Utah’s electors have said they’ll follow the law and vote for Trump.

Browdy said the Hamilton Electors are using the rallies nationwide as a fundraising mechanism to assure electors who may go “astray” that there will be money to fight on their behalf.

Controversy over Trump’s election to the White House has been stoked by the fact that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes.

The presidency goes to the candidate who wins at least 270 electoral votes assigned to states. Trump won enough of the popular vote in those states where it counted.

For detractors like Browdy, if enough pressure is put on electors to change their vote, there is a change in the country’s destiny.

“Her (Clinton’s) losing was bad, but Trump’s winning was worse,” she said.

More rallies are planned around the country Monday as the Electoral College meets to vote.
