Trump Wins Michigan In Closest Race State Has Ever Recorded

US Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in Manchester, New Hampshire, on November 6, 2016.

Trump won the electoral college, 306-232.

In India, the newspaper Economic Times reported that Trump held a meeting in NY a week after his election with business partners who put up the Trump Towers Pune in the western part of the country.

No Republican presidential candidate has won MI since 1988.

Green party presidential candidate Jill Stein has raised over million in order to investigate “compelling evidence of voting anomalies” in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Hilary Clinton’s emails were a major talking point in the election. It’s #101 basic democracy.

The context suggests that Trump’s acceptance of climate science will depend at least in part on how much climate action might cost American businesses (read: dirty energy companies and fossil fuel-reliant industries).

Also, some scholars say the electoral college avoids the possibility of a long and contentious nationwide recount if the popular vote is extremely close. It’d even be worth a shot for the anti-Trump electors to ask her to publicly endorse writing in “Popular Vote” in lieu of her name. But there is one decision he can make that could have truly irreversible implications, and that is to abandon America’s commitment to phasing out coal, phasing in more clean energy systems and leading the world to curb carbon-dioxide emissions before they reach a level that produces a cycle of wildly unpredictable climate disruptions. Each vote is tallied and measured against the collective vote tallies of other competing candidates – majority rules.

The United States’ wholesale shift to electronic balloting after the 2000 Florida recount – with its punch cards and hanging “chads” – has left the systems open to outside, malicious tampering, elections-systems specialists warn. Back in the 1800s, the Founding Fathers had little faith in the less-educated, less-wealthy voting masses. So even states with only enough population for a single House seat will still get three Electoral College votes. For example, John Edwards received one electoral vote in 2004, Lloyd Bentsen received one in 1988, and Ronald Reagan got one in 1976.

Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, accused of a potential conflict of interest as she helms her own brand while making frequent appearances with her president-elect father, is separating her business and personal social media accounts. “I do think that a by-product would be a serious look into electoral college reform”, Michael Baca, a Democratic elector from Colorado, told Politico. Next time it may be a Republican’s turn.

Fortunately, there is a way to make National Popular Vote enforceable: put the compact into the states’ constitutions.

The president-elect said that he had talked with President Vladimir V. Putinof Russia since winning the election, but he did not elaborate.

In 1969, a resolution passed the U.S. House of Representatives calling for the direct (popular) election of president and vice president.

In 2012, he had brushed off that idea as a Chinese hoax, tweeting: “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make USA manufacturing non-competitive”. We’re educated. We know what’s best.

The underlying idea is that a mass defection of electors could provide the impetus for a wave of changes to the Electoral College.
