The moaning is reaching fever pitch.
Good times indeed!

Gawd....it is OVER! Quit whining and crying moonbats and Snowflakes.

Grow up and get on with your life.

The final tally had Trump at 304. The liberals said they needed to change 36 of the electors in order to change the election outcome. By my counting, that seems that 2 voters changed?

Yeah, 2 electors in Texas didn't vote for Trump like they were supposed to.

Meanwhile, it looks like Hellary's renegade electors were fairly numerous... the total so far is 169 for her, which, given the state of the Democrat party doesn't seem all that surprising. There will be much more of this kind of cannibalism as reality sets in.

Rev should be happy! Texas had 38 electors, and 36 went to Trump. One voted for Kasich. One voted for Ron Paul.

Ron Paul? Are you serious?

Shit...he was never significant 3 times before! Time to remove that elector.

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump wins Electoral College - as attempts to cause rebellion turn to farce with DEMOCRATS deserting Hillary

Donald Trump officially crossed the line to 270 electoral votes with electors in Texas casting a ballot for the Republican shortly before 5:30 p.m. EST.

Calls for Trump to be voted down by members of the Electoral College were roundly ignored on Monday – with only two 'faithless' Republican electors rejecting the president-elect and four deserting Democrat Hillary Clinton. Several more electors tried to ditch the Democratic loser, in an effort to pressure Republicans into doing the same and selecting a more moderate GOP president.

Trump applauded his victory when that scheme didn't work and flaunted it in front of the media.

'Today marks a historic electoral landslide victory in our nation's democracy,' he said in a statement to reporters. 'I thank the American people for their overwhelming vote to elect me as their next President of the United States.'
'The official votes cast by the Electoral College exceeded the 270 required to secure the presidency by a very large margin, far greater than ever anticipated by the media,' he added.

Congress will certify the Electoral College vote on January 6 and Trump will be sworn in on January 20.

David Bright of Maine was supposed to back the Democratic loser but announced he would defy the wishes of the state's voters and back Bernie Sanders, her primary opponent. He was later told he'd be replaced by another elector if he made that move, so decided to vote Clinton instead. In Minnesota an elector who was supposed to choose Clinton refused to vote and got replaced. Another 'faithless' elector, this time in Colorado, got replaced when he cast a vote for John Kasich instead of Hillary Clinton. The elector, Micheal Baca, was a prominent Democratic 'Hamilton elector,' who was encouraging his GOP peers to unbind themselves from their state's popular vote winner and choose a more conventional Republican than Trump.

Because Colorado makes its delegates pledge to support the state's popular vote winner – Clinton, in this case – Baca was forced out of the Electoral College and replaced by someone who cast one of the nine pro-Clinton votes for the state.

In Washington state, four electors broke away from Clinton, with some of the votes going to former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell. Washington was where other Democratic 'Hamilton electors' said they would vote across the aisle in hopes that Republicans would follow suit.

Another vote that was supposed to go to Clinton reportedly went to Faith Spotted Eagle, a Native American environmentalist protesting against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

In contrast, as the votes were cast in a series of states in the east, the mid-west and the south, just two Texas electors deserted Trump, with one voting for Kasich and another choosing former Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a libertarian leader who ran for the White House twice.

His son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, ran against Trump in 2016.
