Donald J. Trump has won the electoral college vote! Texas took their good old time, thanks to Austin, and cast the final state EV for Trump.
He won 306 electoral votes November 8th. Now they have been officially counted to confirm Donald Trump as our 45th president. Our republican electors have been faithful and respected our millions of votes and thirty states that chose Trump / Pence.
These loyal electors honestly represented the voters that chose Trump/Pence to lead our great nation. They did not bend under enormous pressure to betray us and become 'faithless' electors. Thank God for faithful electors that we have historically taken for granted in the past when things were less polarized.
It's great to have strong loyal electors in the thirty Trump/Pence state wins. They have dealt with tons of mail, intimidation, harassment and threats just for doing their job as a state elector. It's hard to imagine how crazy their lives have become these past few weeks and I'm sure they are relieved and thrilled that it's finally over.
God Bless Donald Trump the 45th President of the United States of America and Mike Pence the 48th Vice President of our Great Nation!
Exactly. Those two had better at the least be made very unwelcome in the Texas Republican party.
The vote in Austin was by secret ballot. Each elector placed his/her ballot in a box slot and then they were counted. We may never know who voted for Ron Paul. Two Texas electors certainly didn’t cast votes that represented my vote in the general election.
I’m STILL not tired of WINNING! :)
Trump does NOT drink.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Trump to the Top!
Wonderful! So very pleased for the USA!
I have decent sources. They don’t know who the second one was. All I have picked up so far is that the faithless elector may be a female out of Austin. But that’s not verified.
May have more tomorrow. Will make sure to copy you if I get verification and post such.
Prevent this from ever happening again. Electors represent the will of the people in their state.
You’re missing the point.
The Clinton electors had nothing to lose by not voting for Clinton. She lost.
Instead, they used a ruse to set a precedent for future elections to be used against Republicans.
Considering the ‘faithless’ defections to other republicans, I’d love to know the final count of electoral votes FOR republicans in total versus FOR HRC. She really did get lapped in terms of a historic electoral defeat.
Do we know Hillary’s final tally?
Faith Spotted Eagle would have been the first avian president, although we currently have a birdbrain.
No, she may be a teaching assistant at UMad...
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
MAGA
Everyone knows that. It doesn't prevent him from toasting his victory with a glass of sparkling cider.
Thank and praise God!!
.............they won’t, I guarantee. I would not want to be in their shoes.
