"Achievement gap" keeps growing: As we all know, our president is picked by the electoral college, a lesser-known and less respectable branch of Trump University.
That said, we think it's news that Candidate Clinton has ended up winning the popular vote. According to the Cook Report site, this is where matters stand at this point, with votes still being counted:
Popular vote, 2016 election:As you can see, Donald J. Trump's victory margin now stands at a negative 2.3 million votes. We think that's significant news.
Candidate Clinton: 64.7 million votes (48.1 percent)
Candidate Trump: 62.4 million votes (46.5 percent)
So does Donald J. Trump. That's why he's trying to misinform the public. But then, what else is new?
This morning, the Washington Post came out in opposition to such behavior by Trump. Many experts have called it a major flip on the part of the Post.
Elsewhere they are talking about the Electoral College refusing to seat Trump because of his business conflicts of interest. Can they do that? A Texas electoral college member is saying he will resign because he cannot vote for Trump ethically speaking. Must he resign or can he cast his vote for Clinton?
ReplyDeleteIt would be helpful to know how this works.
Hello, I am Theresa Williams After being in relationship with Anderson for years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem. email: drogunduspellcaster@gmail.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other Case.

Rather than paraphrasing like a would-be know-it-all, allow me to quote directly from Wikipedia:
ReplyDelete"Faithless electors are those who either cast electoral votes for someone other than the candidate of the party that they pledged to vote for or who abstain. Twenty-nine states plus the District of Columbia have passed laws to punish faithless electors, although none have ever been enforced. Many constitutional scholars claim that state restrictions would be struck down if challenged based on Article II and the Twelfth Amendment.[55] In 1952, the constitutionality of state pledge laws was brought before the Supreme Court in Ray v. Blair, 343 U.S. 214 (1952). The Court ruled in favor of state laws requiring electors to pledge to vote for the winning candidate, as well as removing electors who refuse to pledge. As stated in the ruling, electors are acting as a functionary of the state, not the federal government. Therefore, states have the right to govern the process of choosing electors. The constitutionality of state laws punishing electors for actually casting a faithless vote, rather than refusing to pledge, has never been decided by the Supreme Court. However, in his dissent in Ray v. Blair, Justice Robert Jackson wrote: 'no one faithful to our history can deny that the plan originally contemplated what is implicit in its text – that electors would be free agents, to exercise an independent and nonpartisan judgment as to the men best qualified for the Nation's highest offices.'"
I should further recommend the following essay by former Democratic Presidential candidate Lawrence Lessig:

Thank you.
DeleteFrontline showed Trump responds to insults, real or perceived. The theory is that Obama insulted Trump at a Correspondents Dinner and that's why he ran for President.
ReplyDeleteTo say Clinton won the popular vote means Trump is a LOSER and that cannot stand. Therefore he didn't lose, she must have cheated. He can say it because lying means little or nothing to him. And, no one in the media will call him a liar because they haven't done it in 15 months.
The Democrats rigged the election for Obama in 2008.
ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton would have won otherwise been elected and performed very well in office for 8 years. She wouldn't have called Trayvon Martin her son among other unforced errors, and Barack Obama would have just won the 2016 election and been sworn in on Jan. 20.
Is "the Democrats" in your comment used the same way Bob Somerby uses "the liberals"?
DeleteYou know, I think you've got something there.

As usual Trump's wild exaggeration does serve the purpose of focusing on the topic. While his 3 million number is unsourced and ridiculous, it's not ridiculous to imagine that there might be a substantial number of non-citizens voting. Particularly here in CA, where non-citizens and illegal immigrants can get drivers' licenses. I would love to see a real review of a sample of CA voters, checking registrations one at a time against evidence of citizenship or not. I do not expect the Democrats in CA to do such a study.
ReplyDeleteIn Cal, the licenses for illegals are marked "for driving purposes only" so it's a crime to use them to vote. Got any other lies for us D in C?
DeleteYeah. Those sneaky illegals are going to come out of the shadows and risk discovery for a bus ride and a pack of smokes, as one conspiracy theorist put it.
DeleteWe don't know what the margin of the popular vote is because we don't know how many illegals out of the 11 to 25 million in our country voted for Hillary.
ReplyDeleteAnd we really don't know how many of the legals had parents who were illegal. We all do know none of the Europeans had any legal right to come to America.
