There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.Clinton won 16.
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don’t and shouldn’t speak for the rest of our country
Al they all Democrats so far?
Commies, foreigners, ignorant of the US electoral process.
Future postings from IBT should be disregarded.
I urge us all to quit publicizing this bull***t.
They are all going to vote for a moderate republican and hope that if the Trump electors see the votes, they will join
OK, sorry to plead ignorance here, but how in the Frack do you get to be one of these people?
Seems this will be the next weakness the Neo-Marxist liberal will exploit.
Homely girl just needed some attention.
We did leave. That's how we ended up here. :-)
It is amazing at how stupid the media is. So many “news” outlets have run this story and don’t correlate that Clinton won WA and thus it’s electoral votes. These snowflakes (elector and the media toolbags) are the epitome of stupid.
“Why is this even being reported?”........
Just another liberals non-issue attempt to suggest Trump was not legally elected. They will NEVER stop
Like the Colorado Electors, Pledged to Hillary who won’t vote for Trump. This is FAKE NEWS.
In Washington state, this teen was pledged to Hillary. This is more FAKE NEWS.
The media are doing all they can to convince other electors to change their votes. One way is to trumpet stories of people like this dimwit from my state. It’s really a great, big nothingburger.
Some days, I am embarrassed to be from Washington (the State).
This is great. Let these “faithless electors” change their votes. They’re all Hillary electors, so once all the votes are in, Hillary might be below 200 EVs. Sure looks like repudiation of the Dems to me, if not even their own electors feel it necessary to vote for them.
A true faithless Clinton elector would be one voting for Trump.
No. Has nothing to do with anything. Cankles won WA, so it doesn’t matter what WA “faithless electors” do.
In states Trump won, state legislators will not permit “faithless” electors.
There has been ONE “faithless elector” that counted in the last 16 years-—a Dem who went from Kerry to Silky Pony.
She sounds like a vagina voter who doesn’t give a sh*t about America. It’s all about her vagina.
Baca. Guerra. Hmmm. I’m starting to see a pattern here.
