It sounds like electors could change their vote, at risk of fines, but then Soros would be sending them a fat envelope for their trouble. I don't think so. This last bit seems to rule that out.
Today, it is rare for Electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate. Electors generally hold a leadership position in their party or were chosen to recognize years of loyal service to the party. Throughout our history as a nation, more than 99 percent of Electors have voted as pledged.

Having her indicted before the electors vote would be icing on the election cake. I don't want her indicted until Jug-ears is looking at the White House in his rear view mirror.

Electoral college for the win.
But really, if Trump had to win the popular vote, maybe he would have made a few stops in CA and NY. He was playing to win at poker and these idiots are saying let’s pretend we were playing blackjack.
9-2-10 looks a lot better on a blackjack table than on a poker table.

And we’re lucky that the electoral votes are calculated to give large rural states some power.
Where do most of the globalists live? New York, California, Illinois, DC.
The genius of the Trump campaign is they didn’t waste resources on trying to win the popular vote. It means nothing.
Trump got out his voters. That’s all that counts, snowflakes.

I think it was 700,000 illegals signed up to vote when they got their drivers license this year. And they know they were not checked out to vote, so I believe you’re right.

The Electoral College which was first introduced in 1804 is comprised of 538 electors. Each states number of electors is decided by its number of members in Congress, which is dependent on the states population. So, when American citizens cast their ballots, they arent directly voting for president theyre voting for electors. This year, Trump took 279, to Clintons 228. The writer of the article was obviously not a math major. 279+228 does NOT equal 538. What happened to the missing 31 electors?

The math is fine. There are states that have not been added to the tally as of yet. Arizona and Michigan are two of them.

In the meantime millions of people voted FOR Trump to be president.

Oh no he isn't and neither is Teddy Cruz.
Obama NEVER taught CONSTITUTIONAL LAW anywhere; NOT ANYWHERE AT ALL!
Wee Barry taught "SOCIAL JUSTICE LAW", when he bothered to show up at U of C, which wasn't often. He was NOT a professor, nor was he any kind of "prof" at all; he was a "visiting" something or other ( sorry, can't remember the exact title right now ), during his time there. In truth, Obama was an AA hire, with NO credentials, no skills, no real title, who taught a WORTHLESS class, and was supposed to be writing his book at that time, but wasn't even doing that.

You know; I have seen this picture probably a thousand times, have seen a lot of men and women around town with dreadlocks.
At the bottom of their pig tails they all look the same, matted and clotted.
My question is; do they pack them and roll them in pig shit to get that nasty look?
I really do want to know!

Kind of makes you wonder why some states are willing to DISENFRANCHISE so many otherwise legal ballots when they are cast by serving military personnel, or folks who have to work outside the country.
MAKES YOU WONDER, DOESN’T IT?

I already knew that. The point I was trying to make is that the author failed to mention that fact.

Many of the signatures are probably bogus.Why?
Just because they look like THIS?
