Hillary Clinton Spent the Week ‘Never Wanting to Leave the House Again’
Clinton won the popular vote but was beaten to the presidency in the all-important US Electoral College.
It is ironic that Clinton’s campaign ended with Obama stumping for her the day before the election in Ann Arbor, Mich., where The American Voter had been written six decades ago.
Interestingly, though both Chiafalo and Baca are Democratic electors, neither are trying to encourage Republican electors to vote for Clinton.
“She found a way to offer me the boundless love and support she never received herself”, Clinton said. Hillary Clinton, just like every single other person on earth, can choose to look however she wants to look, and that’s damn attractive unto itself. Copyright 2016 The Associated Press. The bulk of those votes are in California, so Clinton’s lead is likely to grow substantially.

Trump has shot back on Twitter, saying he would have campaigned differently if the victor were decided by the popular vote.
“I would have been elected president of the United States”, said Sanders, who had received 56 percent of the vote for the White House, according to the national survey conducted by Gravis Marketing two days before the November 8 presidential election. A Change.org petition with almost 4.5 million votes is “calling on the Electors to ignore their states’ votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton”.
Counting in all of Michgan’s 83 counties will continue until November 22, after which the Michigan Board of Canvassers will make the official victor announcement during a meeting on November 28. Additionally, the New York State Attorney General is investigating the Trump Foundation for soliciting donations without the proper charity certification.
Chiafalo and Baca are seeking to change the electoral college protocol. Seven states have only three. As Andrew Prokop has pointed out at Vox, the electoral college now functions exclusively as a “formality”, with very few historic examples of electors going rogue.
Here’s what Democrats know: They got thumped last week.
Boxer described the Electoral College as an outdated, undemocratic system that does not reflect the modern society. In 2012, he tweeted, “The Electoral College is a disaster for a democracy”.
“Donald Trump won the election for a number of reasons. Campaigning is much different!”
