It’s official, people! Donald Trump won the Electoral College vote. He will be the next President Of The United States.
The vote is ongoing, but Trump has already gotten the 270 needed to secure the presidency. Yet, Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote keeps climbing. People tried writing to the electors to get them to vote against Donald Trump, but it didn’t work. He is completely unfit for the office, and he has tons of conflicts of interest.
Some of the electors tried to vote for Bernie Sanders, but they weren’t allowed to. Some states have laws saying that the winner of the vote in that state takes all of the electoral votes for that state.
One of the electors in Pennsylvania, Robert Gleason, said this about voting for President-elect Donald Trump:
“My fellow electors, let us always remember this shared moment when we stood up for our constitutional system, followed our conscience, answered the call of Pennsylvania voters, and did our part by electing the next president and vice president of the United States, Donald Trump and Mike Pence.”
Hope you guys are happy with yourselves. There were plenty of protesters outside of state capitols across the country. In Pennsylvania, a few hundred Democratic protesters braved the cold to demonstrate in front of the electors.
President-elect Donald Trump said this in a statement:
“This election represents a movement that millions of hard working men and women all across the country stood behind and made possible. With this historic step we can look forward to the bright future ahead.”
In Washington, D.C., two dozen protesters gathered outside of Trump’s new hotel there. They were singing songs such as “We Will Overcome.” They had signs saying, “Putin’s Puppet” and many other things.
Republicans, of course, decried Democrats’ efforts to change the electors’ minds. I hope they are happy with the orange moron they’ve elected.
