“Now we know that the networks (including Fox) take orders from the Democrats when to call a race.”
That’s not surprising, look at Wikileaks, the networks pretty much take orders on everything they do from the Democrats.
So we need to hold our breath until these electors vote for Trump. Hillary’s goons would have time to threat and intimidate them into voting for her.
The framers of the Constitution were opposed to the existence of permanent political parties, so it cannot have been their intention to assign electors according to party votes.
Does anyone have a link to an image-map of the USA with each county colored red or blue... to show how vast the areas of red really are.
Some states quit opening the absentee ballots after they have called the majority win for their state.
So towns don’t get votes counted for their town counsels, school boards, county board of supervisors, state reps?
I don’t think your right. Every vote deserves to be counted.
They stop opening ballots on election day or early the next day. Along with the provisional ballots the remaining absentee ballots are eventually counted during the canvas of the election which can occur up to a week or more after the election. The popular vote will change every day for weeks.
I’m just saying, if we really want the people’s will, the Congress critter should cast their electoral vote the way their Congressional District voted in the General Election.
If this is done, then the will of the American People will be reflected in the office of President.
Senators are a different matter. Since we now vote on Senators, they no longer reflect the will of the state they represent, but are beholding to those who funded their election.
So, I believe the 17th Amendment should be repealed. Then the Senator from each state would vote either how their legislatures decided, or how the popular vote statewide indicated.
With this, the will of the voters, at the time of the General Election, would prevail. Large organized groups in urban areas would no longer determine the composition of the Electoral Congress. And voter fraud would be isolated to these large urban areas where it is conducted with immunity.
Where can I find a creditable report on the current popular vote?
