Sanders calls for assessment of Electoral College

Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump in the popular vote surpassed 2 million Wednesday morning, according to Dave Wasserman of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

The end result does not necessarily mean Hillary Clinton would have won the popular vote.

As many as 7,143,347 votes went to third party, write-ins, or independent candidates, the data revealed.

Clinton’s team had been relatively quiet about re-entering the fray in the wake of the election, which Clinton had conceded to now President-elect Trump. She leads Trump in the Golden State by 3.7 million votes.

From the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency, President-elect Trump secured over 290 votes to Clinton’s 232.

The source said the final numbers were so close that Clinton might not have placed her call to Trump without a push.

All of these facts have caused liberals and Democrats to call for audits in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, three states that Trump won by a very narrow margin.

“We haven’t ever had that many faithless electors in one election”.

There is no evidence that the results were hacked or that electronic voting machines were compromised.

Clinton’s Electoral College loss, but popular vote win, marks the second time such a split has happened in modern history. Moreover, the Constitution does not require electors to vote in favor of the victor of the electoral vote. I think that’s the genius of the Electoral College. “Campaigning is much different!”

He says that although he considers the college unfair, it’s not even certain that Clinton would have won a popular vote if candidates campaigned under that system. The effort gained some steam in Democratic-controlled statehouses in the years after Al Gore beat George W. Bush in the popular vote. She will become the fifth presidential candidate in USA history, and the second in the last 16 years, to win the popular vote but lose the election because of the country’s two-century-old, constitutionally mandated Electoral College system of picking its presidents.
