Electoral College: Make Hillary Clinton President on December 19, elijah berg NC

We are calling on the Electors to ignore their states’ votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton. Why?

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 one scenario that could still get Hillary into the White House

By Laura Italiano

The idea of electors reversing their vote is rarely discussed — and was most recently bandied about after the incredibly close 2000 election in which George Bush narrowly beat Al Gore. And electors going “faithless” is exceedingly rare.

The electoral college does not vote until December 19th. We have 40 days.

As it currently stands, Hillary Clinton is projected to receive 232 votes. Trump is projected to win 306. This means that 37 votes need to be taken away from Trump to bring him down to 269. Hillary Clinton needs 38 votes ADDED to win 270.

Petition by Thomas Reich

To be delivered to Electors of the Electoral College

Petition Statement

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Donald Trump’s authoritarian tendencies demand consideration for his qualifications to serve as President.

Affecting FUTURE elections, not this one:

There is a realistic path to making an end-run around the Electoral College for the 2020 elections. This is because we don’t need a constitutional amendment to stop using the Electoral College. We only need the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact:

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) is an agreement among several U.S. states and the District of Columbia to award all their respective electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the overall popular vote in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The compact is designed to ensure that the candidate who wins the most popular votes is elected president, and it will come into effect only when it will guarantee that outcome.[2][3] As of 2016, it has been joined by ten states and the District of Columbia; their 165 combined electoral votes amount to 30.7% of the total Electoral College vote, and 61.1% of the 270 votes needed for it to have legal force.

If states and territories totaling at least 270 electoral votes pass laws joining the National Popular Vote Compact, then the next presidential election will be determined by the winner of the national popular vote. We are already up to 165.

How did we let Trump get away with this? He lied about his reasons but ultimately there was no threat that could compel him to release his tax returns. There is ONE threat now: Trump cannot become President without releasing his tax returns. Simple. Clear. No paperwork, no job.

Americans have a right to know who the King of Debt owes money to. We have a right to know how he has played the tax code. We have a right to know if he is at all charitable. We have a right to know which companies and countries will profit from his actions. We have a right to know how he profits from his actions. We have that right — it’s not radical, it’s not unreasonable, it’s not unprecedented, it’s not left nor right, it’s not sour-grapes. No paperwork, no job.

Trump will ignore this or tweet something ridiculous in response. His followers will rage at this temerity even though they harped endlessly on emails and unproved corruption. But someone can fix this.

Until this election cycle, there were still a few Republicans who put the nation ahead of their own interests. You can subpoena these records immediately. No paperwork, no job.

There are other avenues:

Electors: Where are Trump’s returns?
WikiLeaks: Where are Trump’s returns?
Russian hackers: Where are Trump’s returns?
Chinese hackers: Russia says you don’t know how to hack the IRS.
IRS employees: Sometimes, you have to blow the whistle to save the nation.

We have a right to know before he takes power. No paperwork, no job.

Trump never released his tax returns and lied about the reason.

Trump is the self-claimed King of Debt — who does he owe money to?

Trump refuses to put his companies in blind trust. His dimwitted children will run things for him, checking with him on every step.

Trump has numerous lawsuits pending (as defendant and plaintiff).

Every action Trump takes will put him in a conflict of interest but he says you can trust him.

Even the GOP will end up impeaching this crook. Let’s spare the nation the ordeal, support the majority that voted against him, and stop him at the Electoral College, before Inauguration Day.

[update]

Trump opposes freedom of the press, a constitutional right. He will NOT defend the constitution.

Most people are confused and frustrated by the Electoral College, including people on the left and the right. Some are working to abolish it, which would require a constitutional amendment. Others are trying to finesse it with compacts to distribute electors according to the popular vote (this doesn’t require an amendment but might be unenforceable). We can’t wait to fix the problem. There is an immediate solution.

While some states require their electors to vote for the majority within the state, not all do. It is possible for conscientious electors to recognize that this election subverts democracy (Trump lost by 6 million votes) and puts in the White House a man who ignores all rules. Help us, Electors, you’re our last hope.

A majority of Americans voted for progress 11/8/2016. Instead, Republicans seized power in every branch of government, including the Supreme Court, which will haunt us for 30 years.

I survived Raygun and his pompous supporters who hurled “liberal” as an insult. I survived the profoundly stupid and arrogant DUHbya, whose Daddy’s supreme court installed. We will survive the even worse Trump and his thugs. I’m sickest that we have to watch his arrogant, classless offspring for 4 years.

Ironically, we are now trapped in an abusive relationship. Bullies rule. Why are you hitting yourself, Amerika?
