Electoral College: Make Hillary Clinton President on December 19

Holy **** you guys please sign this petition

On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, they can vote for Hillary Clinton if they choose. Even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted, they would simply pay a small fine - which we can be sure Clinton supporters will be glad to pay!

We are calling on the Electors to ignore their states' votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton. Why?

Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic. 

Secretary Clinton WON THE POPULAR VOTE and should be President. 

 Hillary won the popular vote. The only reason Trump "won" is because of the Electoral College.

But the Electoral College can actually give the White House to either candidate. So why not use this most undemocratic of our institutions to ensure a democratic result?

SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE.

There is no reason Trump should be President.

"It's the 'People's Will'"

No. She won the popular vote.

"Our system of government under our Constitution says he wins"

No. Our Constitution says the Electors choose.

"Too many states prohibit 'Faithless Electors'"

24 states bind electors. If electors vote against their party, they usually pay a fine. And people get mad. But they can vote however they want and there is no legal means to stop them in most states.

Luckily I don't live in the US. But you can stay safe, too, honeyboo as he won't set any of his promises in realization. Still, slay a bit.  Whatever makes you sleep at night.

This petition is an attack on democracy. Asking the electoral college to actually vote AGAINST their state's wishes???

Democracy is already busted. President Trump is an embarrassment to those who have held the title prior to him. 

[LuMetal 68]

btw this is a very trump like solution to an outcome you dont like.

he even said he would challenge the result if he lost.

dont be like trump

It is but that doesn't mean this is right. You can bet if Hillary had won no one would be doing these protests and these petitions. The election has been decided. End of. Now work for 2020 so we might finally have a good Democratic candidate (i.e. not Hillary).
