The campaign to stop Trump at the Electoral College utterly failed, as anticipated, and Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States.
This kind of campaign should never be attempted again, by activists on either side. The Constitutional quagmire that would result if the College was disrupted cannot be allowed to happen, under any circumstances.
The effort was an attack on the Constitution itself, by desperate people who seem to want to feed parts of the Constitution into a shredder, without any thought of what would happen afterwards.
Yes, the election would go into the House of Representatives, and the majority party would almost certainly vote for their candidate, but why do that? We have a system that works without getting the do-nothing Congress involved.
Hey, I didn’t like the College very much either, when they voted for Barack Obama twice and for Bill Clinton twice. But they did their duty, which is something that is very necessary to the health of our electoral system, no matter who is elected.
The Constitution must prevail.
