Updated unofficial results show Trump beating Clinton by 10704 votes

Hillary Clinton, who won 228 electoral-college votes, persuades her electors to vote for, let’s say, Mitt Romney. The group of computer experts headed by Halderman claim that Clinton received 7 percent fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic voting machines, which the group said could have been hacked.

If this strikes you as unacceptable, please join the League of Women Voters of the United States in advocating passage of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

The attempt is aimed at denying Trump the majority of Electoral College voters and was launched primarily by former supporters of onetime Democratic presidential candidate Sen.

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.

It will be the fifth time the leader of the nationwide vote lost the presidency.

The Electoral College is based on state law, so when enough additional states pass the National Popular Vote bill – enough to add up to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House – then the “electors” would be legally bound to vote for the popular vote victor and never again steal an election from the top vote getter.

Trump visited the state more than recent GOP nominees did. The Clinton campaign has not yet said what it plans to do, if anything, with this information.

They are the only two states that do not follow the winner-take-all approach of the other 48, where the vote leader in a state gets all of its electoral votes.

Congratulations on meeting the recount costs for Wisconsin!

“The popular vote would have been a lot easier, but it’s a whole different campaign”, Trump said, notes Politico.

The more-than-2,600 counties President-elect Donald Trump won combined to generate 36 percent of the country’s economic activity past year.

In Michigan, Stein must sit tight for a Monday meeting of the state’s Board of Canvassers to guarantee the consequences of the November 8 balloting before petitioning for a relate.

According to the baffling US electoral system, each state has a number of representatives – known as “electors” – who choose the president.

“The Electoral College is a disaster for democracy”, Trump tweeted after President Obama’s reelection in 2012.

Democratic electors are launching one last bid to block Donald Trump from taking the White House – reaching out to their Republican counterparts with the plea they break rank and support another Republican candidate. The Harvard law professor compared it to a judge reviewing a jury verdict, “where the people voted, the electoral college was meant to confirm – or not – the people’s choice”. “I was never a fan of the Electoral College until now”. “Campaigning is much different!”

“There are two separate slates of electors in each state, so there’s the Democratic slate that’s elected by the Democratic Party organization and there’s the Republican slate elected by the Republican Party organization”.
