Electoral College 306-232 [View all]

Michigan has been awarded to the President Elect and he now has 36 more electors that he needs to win. I do not see any realistic way where get 36 faithless electors.

We as democrats need to accept these results and move on and plan for local and state elections over the next two years and the presidential election in 2020.

I do not expect the recounts to change the overall outcome of this election. However, I am optimistic that it will raise enough doubts to where improvements in the election process and systems will be considered.
