Nice graphic at the site showing the electoral count totals.
... And whats this I hear about Bill Clinton being a NYS elector ?
maybe because only democrats take celebs seriously and decided to do their ‘patriotic duty’ against Crooked Hillary, especially since they knew she wouldn’t win anyway
Ba, ha, ha! It must kill the New York Times to publish the truth for a change!
here’s something you won’t see in the NY Slimes:

My question is, what is all this doing in the budget in the first place?!
Maybe this is why the Democrats are attacking Paul Ryan.
NY Times won’t let me on their site
in sum - Hillary lost 5 while Trump lost 2?
Is that correct?
This on the heels of the recounts that only padded Trump's vote totals and exposed Democrat vote fraud in urban areas. Might even result in a voter ID bill for Michigan!
Every stage of victory is just more delicious than the last. I wonder what they have next in store for us! Another opportunity for Trump to improve and extend upon his victory I'm sure!
We need to remember this episode carefully. Perhaps, should there ever be another successful Rat candidate we can be successful at the game they have played here!
Our local ABC TV news online had 2 different articles about Trump electors being faithless with tabloid like headlines yesterday; nothing about the Dim electors. When someone tried to comment about that a reporter for that station reported that only Republican electors voted yesterday, because Republicans won the election Democrat electors did not get to vote in the Electoral College vote. He put that in response to 2 different people. I corrected him and he deleted his post, and responses including mine, changed wording in the article- still did not put anything about Dim electors changing their vote. They wonder why we don’t trust them for news!!
Though is didn’t hurt the Trump cause ... it is setting a disturbing trend and needs to be nipped in the bud.
Does someone have a list so we can switch the channel? Noah Wylie is one.
Although I think it’s funny as hell that Hillary lost electors, they really need to tighten up the laws, and increase the penalty for electors that choose not to carry out their duty to the voters in their state. In addition, there needs to be severe penalties for anyone attempting to harass, intimidate, or threaten an elector. If Hillary had won, and electors pledged to her were receiving death threats, you’d better believe that Obama would have had the Justice Department aggressively pursuing these people.
Some goober on the radio was reading the Washington defector votes and said: “someone voted for Faith THE Spotted Eagle”.
too funny!!!
I thought the “historic” number was 23....Virginia electors in 1836.
Not counting Andrew Johnson in 1864, who technically was still a Democrat when Lincoln’s Republican electors voted for him, this is the first time in history electors have voted for someone in the other party.
I was watching FOX yesterday, and they were talking about the two electors in TX who had voted against Trump. They made sure to announce that Trump’s EC vote had dropped to 304. They went on to mention that some electors had not voted for Clinton, but they continued to report that her EV count was 232, when they should have dropped it to 227.
I can only imagine how bad it hurt to publish this in the NYT.
Faithless electors are annoying for fifteen minutes.
Jill Stein getting skunked by Faith Spotted Eagle is a joy forever.
