Which doesn’t matter. The 12th amendment states the president will be the one who wins the majority of appointed electors. If Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan don’t appoint any electors, then there only 496 appointed electors and Trump still wins by 260 to 233.
Excellent point.
Plus the millions of folks in those three states are ticked that they are being disenfranchised from the election process by hillary stein.
