Pawnee National Grasslands
The real election wasn’t on November 8th. It’s on December 19th when the Electors meet to cast their vote. The Electoral College came about because back in the day communication was slow. It’d take a week to travel by horseback from New Hampshire to D.C. to say how the state voted and taking a week off was a hardship for most. So they decided that they’d send a wise elder to D.C. to let them know how the state voted. But if the wise elder thought a lot of his state were a bunch of misinformed dumb-asses he was free to vote for whom ever he thought was best.
So given that Hillary won the popular vote, the protests in the streets, the fact that Trump looked like someone who was way in over his head after he met with President Obama, the facts that there was serious voter suppression and that the exit polls didn’t match the results in swing states, the alt-right wackos being proposed for his cabinet and staff, a SCOTUS that will impact us for at least a generation and that he’s a racist, sexist, xenophobeic, lying pig who will wreak havoc world-wide, it’s possible that some electors might think that for the good of the country they must vote for Clinton.
