Will it never end?

The part of this petition that stands out to me is "We are calling on the Electors to ignore their states' votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton."

    I think its ironic that Hillary thought that it would be the electoral college that would propel her to victory. She is so arrogant and crooked that its cool that the very thing she thought would seal her win is the thing that gave the election to Trump.

    Whichever way the popular vote ended up, the difference was under 200,000 votes out of 120 million cast, which constitutes about 0.12%. That's well within the noise level, and if the contest was being decided by popular vote, would require a recount. That recount would take months, involve thousands of counters, hundreds of observers from both parties, and millions of dollars that cash strapped states could ill afford. Undoubtedly there would be evidence of fraudulent votes individually and collectively, with attempts to find "missing votes" for Hillary, which would likely descend into numerous lawsuits. I think our electoral college method has a lot going for it.

    of course not. slick willie left office in the year 2000 and he is still kicking around, so will Hillary. and they just picked up another mouth we need not hear any more but will. 0 bought a 5.5 million dollar house in d.c. going back to Chicago is too dangerous. so his last flight on A-1 will from dulles to Reagan airports versus kenya

    Big deal, with the exception of Maine and Nebraska, all others are winner-take-all. He didn't win Oregon, Oregon electors are not voting for him anyway.

    The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if Hildabeast is behind this movement. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

    I look at Shrillary and I see Lillian Rearden when she's telling James Taggart that if Hank is allowed to divorce her, that her entire life will have been wasted.

    I agree. Then there are the illegals who voted for Clinton. I understand that their vote was huge. But don't get your hopes up that the media will bring this out.

    For some reason liberals don't believe in States. It may be because they want a single dictator. It may be because States have to balance the budget and only the Federal government can spend money without concern for economics.

    You are talking about some on the left. I'm not so sure about them. They could be that committed and short sighted.

    He certainly would have cut the margins down, I agree. Given the numbers reported, he would not have had to cut them too much. Increase is count by 400K would have been relative easy if it were all popular vote.

    In a "popular vote" election, Trump would have campaigned hard in California and New York and would likely have won the nationwide popular vote also.

    consider this also. Hillary wone California by over 2 M votes, NY by a large margin and Ill by a large margin. Her actual lead in the popular vole is not just slightly over 300K. Trum has won 30 staes 31 if Michigan holds up. Hillary will wiln 21 if Hew Hampshire hold up.
    What happened to her 3M plus lead from The really big states? It vanished in the other states. The electoral college is there for one stated reason. To prevent the larger states from totally dominating the elections and controlling the smaller states. The same reason there is a Senate and a House of Representatives To provide balance between the larger and smaller states..

    Surely this is satire. No one could be so stupid as to write this seriously.

    They should be careful what they ask for ... at least one elector from Oregon has indicated that he would be voting for Trump ... there could be others.
