Congress certified Donald Trump's presidential victory over the objections of a handful of House Democrats.
All 538 electors met in their respective state capitals in December to cast their votes. The vote count made it official. Vice-president Joe Biden presided over the count in his role as president of the Senate.
Trump finished with 304 electoral votes and Democrat Hillary Clinton got 227. There were seven protest votes for other candidates. It takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency.

Can some wise technician turn that moment into a meme?
Did you see the crying woman to Michelle’s right with the heavy purple eyeshadow? At Michele’s “final” speech. I was hoping for trails of purple down her cheeks but didn’t see it. So fun. Anyone want to bet on how many of the dems on the inauguration platform will be wearing purple?
“Whats not legitimate?”
The Electoral College. The Left wants a pure democracy, where 50%+1 get to rule over the 50%-1. They will ride this horse for the foreseeable future.
How can you say that when it was the “American black population” who put these trashy negreses in office? Indeed, the “American black population” continues to disrespect this country by their choices for leadership. When they start routinely electing adults like Dr. Ben Carson and Col. Alan West, they can be considered to be useful citizens, but not until they do.
Looks like "Pat" has lost quite a bit of weight since the '90s . . . though I figured "her/him" for a Bernie supporter.
“NO one could have beaten Trump, and no one will in 2020. And had Trump not entered and won the Republican primary, no one would have beaten Hillary either.”
It’s not a matter of what would have happened had another Democrat run. I’m speaking to what the leftists BELIEVE would have happened. They know Clinton was an awful candidate, and believe Biden would have been better. I think they are right, and Biden would have stood a better chance of winning.
Amid all the heckling and interruptions from the black bitch Jackson-lee, Biden did a class job. He told one heckler to shut up “it’s over”.
As we Packer Fans say (and hope to say tomorrow) “That’s the DAGGER!”
President Trump!!
My, that has a nice ring to it.

Watching Lee & Waters was like a remake of Dumb & Dumber except the original characters seemed much smarter.
One nail in the coffin after another...M.A.G.A.!
Hope it hurt them just enough so that they’ll be screaming “police brutality” for the next 20 years, and wondering why everyone’s laughing.
I watched this earlier - Idiot Dem Representatives, objecting, but with no Senator’s signature. Usually, replied to the question regarding said signature with: Not YET.
One of them waved the written objection and asked if there wasn’t some brave Senator who would have the courage to sign it. I guess the Dems who might have considered signing may be up for election in a Red State.
Are you sure?
I thought the House members were entitled to raise the objections. When they raise the objection, it is an invitation to the sitting Senators to support the objection.
They did not.
The VP had to slap them down if not supported by a Senator.

Awww... Ain’t that purdy?
Dear frogjerk,
When an objection, according to U.S. title code, MUST be in writing, MUST be signed by BOTH a U.S. Representative AND a U.S. Senator, was forwarded to the floor by these jackal Demoncrats, WITHOUT meeting the legal statute, as orally recited by Joe Biden, more than once, yes, it was illegal, and the act was done knowing so, by the perpetrating parties.
Dear scrabbleshack,
The objection, to meet the U.S. Title code statute, had to be in writing, and with both signatures, BEFORE being brought to the floor.
Because they assume that they will always be the ruling majority.
Safe assumption for them, since they can manufacture any votes needed to cover a shortfall. They do it all the time where they already rule.
Note well: If everybody "believes" that 50%+1 can do anything they want without limits (pure democracy), then you don't actually need 50%+1 of the people to vote your way — just make sure that everybody thinks that they did.
