Clinton's "win" of the popular vote (if it holds up) is within statistical noise. To get a reliably accurate count of the vote totals, it would take a months-long effort by thousands of paid vote counters, costing the states millions of dollars. That alone tells us why we don't rely on the popular vote. The Founders continue to be proven incredibly wise.
There will be no end to the number and kind of temper tantrum the left will throw during the next 4/8 years. The rioters in Portland, OR are another manifestation. These are organized thugs intent on destroying the country and replacing our government with a socialist one of one form or another.
The electoral college has been the target of the left as well. Destroy that and we'll be just another banana "republic" governed by San Francisco, LA, Chicago, and New York.
One would hope. I do not put too much beyond the plotting capability of some people and organizations. One would think breaking the law is prosecuted as well, unless you know the AG and she works for you....or you meet her on the tarmac for a "chat".
Stuff they are saying about Trump can easily apply to the Clintons. Slick Willy who'd be advising from behind the curtain has experience, but me dino be thinking of the bang-up wreckage of a job with dead bodies Hillary performed as Secretary of State.

If Trump had won by only a few electoral votes this tactic might have worked. If any elector switched to Gary Johnson, there's even a scenario in which he would have become President. A deadlocked Electoral College would have thrown the election into the House of Representatives, which would have had to choose from the three top finishers. With Trump and Hillary unable to muster a majority of Electors, Johnson might have triumphed as the compromise candidate. However, with Trump likely having a comfortable cushion of 37 electoral votes, I don't see anything like this happening.
I find his logic to be very good in justifying why it is not a good idea to go with the popular vote (in spite of my bias against it anyways since it seems, for some reason, the Democratic places seem totally inept at counting and always seem to "uncover" hidden and missing ballots, giving the election to the one they want).
And lookee: "“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.”
This may seem trivial, but never underestimate the ability of a stupid person to gather more stupid people and stampede. The content of their petition indicates it is purely the arrogant, intolerant, hate filled crap so lovingly known as a hallmark of the Obamanation and the Hillary Beasts gangs of thugs. I fear this will continue to escalate as more and more of the stupid want to throw away the little bit of law left and impose their infinitely more holy will upon the rest of us peasants.
Oh, but it may not be over, you see more and more stories of "recounts", "undiscovered purely Hillary ballots locked in a cellar closet in the courthouse" stories. The popular vote moved to The Beast mysteriously after the few holdout states who needed to get some more fingers and toes to count with started to dribble in results. This opens the door to the "Hillary really won" crowd, and the protests, riots and crybaby sessions. Next will be the "Force the electors to follow the peoples will" campaign and they have 30 days to harass them.
Good luck with "overturning" the election. Trump has 290 electoral votes and is ahead by 12,000 in Michigan and behind by 2,500 in New Hampshire, the last undeclared states. It would take at least 21 electors and possibly 37 switching sides to elect Hillary. The only "faithless elector" so far is a Democrat in Washington state who says he will refuse to cast his electoral vote for Hillary Clinton.
The "she won the popular vote" argument is bogus. Both campaigns would have been run very differently if a popular vote system was in place. Both Trump and Clinton would have campaigned heavily in California and ignored the lightly populated states such as Wyoming and Alaska.
Makes me wonder about the onset of the "dark ages" where, perhaps, those that still could not get over and move on to conscious thought at the behence of losing that ancient voice they thought were gods, which may equate to today's leftest rhetoric, and rebelled and destroyed everything built by those that would eventually ascend. Have we come full circle?
Me ol dino been trying to correlate Trump winning being a reason why some adult-sized punk kids would burn an American flag in a California street.. Educated to be a control freak fascist is all my ancient brain can come up with for a reason.
