Reference 7 posts above yours.

As a side note, for those born before the 60's, has there EVER been such publicity about the EC proceedings? I don't remember it being the frontal focus in my voting lifetime from the 80's onward. The 1980 Reagan election was my first election in which to participate...

Right, but how would they handle a faithless elector? Do they deal with it today? Would the public be made aware as it happens?

Its done on the 6th

I'm not sure why you guys are following it so closely. Trump won the election. Trump's win will be confirmed with the electorate. Trump will be the President on January 20, 2017. Case closed. No point in feeding the liberal hysteria as if something is going to change.

Trump is at 256, Texas can throw it over the top.

No doubt that it will happen, but for some of us, it's just so sweet to watch it happen as it happens. It makes the victory very fulfilling.

Yes, indeed. It's also like dating a very hot woman -- you have a rough time believing that you're really gonna score...

Texas votes in 15 minutes, then it's all over.

Looks like four electors in Washington voted Bernie! WA was an 8 elector state.

They should be barred from ever participating in any election in the US again.

The people who voted for Hillary deserve to have their votes counted just the same as the people who voted for Trump.

This media/celebrity driven drive to undermine the electoral college and the entire election system of the United States is going to bear some bitter fruit in the future. They don't know what they are doing and what they are tampering with encouraging people to usurp the will of the people. Where are the editorials in the mainstream media calling for the dems to accept the results of the election? They are playing with fire right next to fifty five gallon drums of aviation fuel.

These nimrod celebrities and 'intellectuals' on the left should have been ridiculed mercilessly by the media. They really don't want what they attempted to stir up.

And no, I've not worried one bit about the results of today's vote by the EC - that's not the point I am making here.

I like celebrating more than once as well as watch heads explode more than once.

First it was election day, then today's electoral vote, January 6th to make it official and then the day Trump takes office.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.

I agree, and I also think arrests should be made but it ain't happening. Rush was saying this morning that Michael Moore was at a protest and offered money to any elector that flipped their vote. He should be in jail RIGHT NOW!

This elector nonsense-- thinking electors would switch their votes-- shows just how deep is the disbelief among the leftists. They literally cannot believe that they lost.

They were certain that they not only had the election wrapped up, they had the country wrapped up. After all, they have the entertainment industry, every sector of it. They have the so-called "main stream media"-- print and television news. They rule education, from kindergarten all the way through post-graduate. Huge areas of business are totally leftist: Silicon Valley, giants like Facebook, Google, and Amazon. And all these puppets were working around the clock to elect Hillary Clinton.

She could NOT lose. This was the informed consensus. She was a shoo-in.

It's not just her loss that stuns them, it's the loss of their grip on America.

You wish, Obama, you vindictive SOB! That's why you have dumped 3rd world migrants in white neighborhoods all over the USA. But Trump will stop and REVERSE this. Criminal migrants will be sent back for a start.

Quote:
"Regardless of what President-elect Donald Trump’s plans are for immigration, President Barack Obama says there will be “inevitable” changes to the demographics of the United States.

“If you stopped all immigration today, just by virtue of birth rates, this is going to be a browner country,” Obama told NPR’s Steve Inskeep in an interview that aired Monday. “And if we’re not thinking right now about how we make sure that next generation is getting a good education and are instilled with a common creed and the values that make America so special and are cared for and nurtured and loved the way every American child is treated, then we’re not going to be as successful.” ...

He never fails to turn everything into an issue of race; painting an imagined racism into the minds of his followers where it doesn't exist.

The left is hell bent to undermine the rule of law, the foundation of free democratic government. They have stopped at nothing to trivialize, confuse, disrespect, disrupt, usurp, mock, subvert and neutralize these rules.

It's as though some of these idiots sit around at parties, smoking whatever they smoke, and somebody says, "Hey, I know, let's ........"

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

One thing is totally clear, if it wasn't before: The left in America is totalitarian. They don't give a shit about Democracy, or the rule of law, or anything except their own power and control. If they could do it, they would take over with an iron fist.
