Can Electors Make Hillary Clinton President On Dec. 19?
Donald Trump won Tuesday’s presidential election. But many liberals and progressives have begun clinging to one faint hope that he could still be stopped. Yes, this is gonna happen if electoral college vote for Hillary Clinton.
Following Donald Trump’s shocking win on Tuesday, there are a number of petitions going around, asking electors in the Electoral College to vote for Hillary Clinton when they formally elect the president in December.
On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, they can vote for Hillary Clinton if they choose. Even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted, they would simply pay a small fine – which we can be sure Clinton supporters will be glad to pay!
In an Online petition, it was stated that “Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted the history of sexual assault and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic.”
The petition’s title says it all. “Electoral College: Make Hillary Clinton President on December 19.” Not even a head-fake towards “elect” or “vote.”
The petition has 2.5 million of the 3 million signatures its creators have decided is enough to overturn the outcome of the actual election, which involved just under 120 million people.
Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic. Secretary Clinton WON THE POPULAR VOTE and should be President.
The petition claims that even electors in states that have provisions against faithless electors can change their votes without much consequence. “If electors vote against their party, they usually pay a fine,” the petition states. “And people get mad. But they can vote however they want and there are no legal means to stop them in most states.”
Oh, wait !! BABA VANGA who has made a shocking prediction Barack Obama would be the LAST US president. Is it gonna happen ? Ms. Vanga is credited with predicting the Boxing Day Tsunami and the 9/11 terror attacks, and Mr. Obama’s presidency. A famous woman, Baba Vanga made many predictions about the future. Now, everyone eagerly waiting whether the Electoral College will consider the change.org petition to vote for Hillary Clinton.
But to be kept in mind, it’s not just a few people that would need to be convinced — 37 Republican electors would have to switch their votes from Trump to Clinton to change the election results. That seems… implausible.
