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.

No they never quit and that is why they control every major institution.
Didn't a Washington elector already pledged not to vote for Clinton?
That means not only the electors, but both houses of Congress would have to be flipped.
Not. Gonna. Happen.
Liberals recognize they are in a culture war, as do Muslims. Their goal is total takeover of society, nothing but their views in culture and backed by the state.
They’ve been fighting this since at least the 1920s and whether a slow incrementalism or major lurches forward, they know and realize it is a multi-generational fight.
This is why from Dewey forward they targeted the educational system, to the point where today “dispositions” tests of personality are intended to weed out conservatives because only liberal viewholders are appropriate to educate children. Ditto the deliberate infiltration and domination of education. At colleges, it is so set that they don’t see anything wrong with the discrimination because their views are utterly reinforced at all levels.
Liberal profs admit they’d discriminate against conservatives in hiring, advancement

I think I read that there was 2!
I think they vote anonymously. In 2004, some elector got confused and voted for John Edwards for president as well as for vice president. The vote got recorded that way. We know what state the elector came from and which party, but we never found out who made the blunder.
People in hell want ice water also
More significantly I would demand copies of the petitions and verify the Citizenship or legal residence status of every signature on every petition. No matter how long it takes.
EXACTLY!!!!
They are like babies. NOw my question is where are their parents, and how was these tantrum kids brought up.
Also quite telling that this happened right after the election which means this was organised around the country.
Black lives are out in force again , now the election has been done,l so someone is controlling them too.
The media is lying to these people and cheering them on.
More telling is why hasn’t obama or Clinton come out and denounced this?
We have heard absolutely NO INFORMATION on the Military votes. Many have NOT been counted at this time.
the witch conceded the election.
The libtards still cry and shit their pants.
GOOD!
There is also a rumor, that, although there is no Constitution requirement that ALL popular votes be counted after the Constitutional electoral requirement has been met, Trump also won the popular vote, so these these "domestic enemies" need to dream up something new.
And all these hysterical ignoramuses launching petitions can go curl up in their "safe place" closets or just go away.
Even if all the absentee ballots and provisional ballots are counted and show HRC the winner, the Electoral College has worked as intended. Leaving aside the fact that Trump could have probably won the popular vote it was needed, and part of the “rules” before the election, the EC has saved us from a group of people that votes regionally in lock step.
What the Republicans have lacked for far too long is someone who will publicly look a democrat in the eye and say “you are full of crap lying!”
Trump received over 50% of the votes in 27 states Clinton got 50% in only 13 states.
I would have no problem at all with a law or regulation that REQUIRES military votes to ALWAYS be counted.
If anyone has the right to vote, it would be those whoa re willing to put their lives on the line to secure our freedom to do so.
That only comes out to 40 states.
What’s missing?
