Voters upset that Republican Donald Trump had been elected president -- or think that the presidency was unfairly taken from Democratic rival Hillary Clinton -- are scrambling for ways to change the results.
Their major focus is trying to get members of the U.S. Electoral College to change their vote, arguing that Clinton should be the next president because 60.47 Americans voted for her, compared to 60 million for Trump.
The college is part of the Constitution and is composed of 538 members, with each state and the District of Columbia having one member, or electorate, for every senator or House lawmaker.
Trump won 290 of the so-called electoral votes, in the race to get a minimum 270.
However, members don’t officially cast their ballots until December 19, which has Trump opponents making long-shot efforts to reverse the outcome, including petition drives to get the electorates to switch their votes.

They cannot prove that, much less that all the *signatures* are actual people wand that there are not names on there which are being used without the knowledge or consent of the people themselves.
Someone could be using a local area phone book and grabbing names out of it.
They had their chance on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, we still need to uphold this entire election scenario in prayer like we did before Election Day.
This cannot succeed or everything this country represents is meaningless.
Over half the states have a punitive “Faithless Elector Law”. Further, these electors who turn coat will have their names known and be at their peril.
DON’T THESE SCHMUCKS EVER QUIT?
It will never ever happen!
Trump’s EC Votes are up to 306 after Michigan finally checked in.
Best. Election. Ever. EVER! :)
Neither candidate got a majority. No Clinton has EVER gotten a majority
Lotsa luck, Brownshirts!
Go ahead and do it. I dare you. Go ahead...
I hope they try it. Civil War II will begin and the snowflakes are afraid of guns. Just the sight of a gun causes them to wet their pants. Since most military and law enforcement voted for Trump, it will be a wash.
How do you overturn a landslide when standing in quicksand?
Liberals have no soul. Rotten to the core. Otherwise they never would have voted for a degenerate drunken career criminal.
Whatever happened to the idea that we must all accept the results of the election? Liberal: “Oh, that idea is so November 7th. Nobody believes THAT anymore.”

Corrected for accuracy:
Their major focus is trying to get members of the U.S. Electoral College to change their vote, arguing that Clinton should be the next president because 60.47 Americans voted for her, compared to 60 million for Trump, OF THE COUNTED VOTES.
No one can be declared the winner of the popular vote unless ALL the votes are counted. And that includes all absentee ballots!
[ Their major focus is trying to get members of the U.S. Electoral College to change their vote, arguing that Clinton should be the next president because 60.47 Americans voted for her, compared to 60 million for Trump. ]
Shoot, when I was in school, before Jeb Bush Common Core, 60 million was A LOT MORE THAN 60.47.
I can’t imagine being that .47 person.
Of course, they mean “million” but there’s a + to Trump’s 60 million as well.
For Democrats, see “Constitutional Republic” and “Electoral College”. Education: It’s fundamental.
Cry and throw tantrums? LOL!
306 electoral votes won by President Trump
306. He won 306 of the "so-called" electoral votes. Any one of them who switches will be investigated to find out how much money it took for the communists to bribe them. The U.S. Government is not for sale. It's our government.
They can try again in 2020...any bets? ;)
