The Truth About This Electoral College Email
Others are pushing for a complete overhaul of the Electoral College, according to Politico.
Arnold said the people who are sending the emails, many of whom are from out of state, are not afraid to voice their opinions about why he should not vote for Trump.
Donald Trump, almost two months before taking the oath of office, has already broken a campaign promise.
Some national news outlets, including the Associated Press, have not yet called the state for Trump because the margin over Democrat Hillary Clinton was so slim. “Trump said in an interview after the election, however, that prosecuting Clinton would not be a priority”.
And although Clinton won the popular vote by at least 2 million votes, Trump decisively won the electoral vote with victories in several large swing states. Stein is leading a recount effort for Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, all states won by Trump. Some activists and academics that formed a coalition are calling on US authorities to fully audit or recount the election results, particularly in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
As Clinton’s popular vote lead increases, so do the calls for the abolishment of the Electoral College, which allowed Trump to win the presidency despite Clinton receiving the most votes nationwide. “If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation because there has never been so many lies, so much deception”, he said.
But on Tuesday, November 22nd, on MSNBC, Kellyanne Conway, President-elect Trump’s campaign manager said he does not wish to pursue any charges over Clinton’s emails, or the Clinton Foundation. What’s interesting, though, is that Trump, more than any candidate in American history, has benefited from the Electoral College – but he still doesn’t like it.
“If it gets into the House, the controversy and the uncertainty that would immediately blow up into a political firestorm in the United States would cause enough people – my hope is – to look at the whole concept of the electoral college”, another elector said. But in this case, it’s the right decision. They deliberately created the electoral system to establish a federal republic, not a unitary democracy. One said Trump’s campaign was built entirely on racism, sexism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, fear, division and hate.
