Two Ways To Stop Donald Trump From Becoming President

Submitted by Robin Messing on Tue, 11/22/2016 - 5:06pm

It is not over yet.  There are now two prongs of attack currently underway to prevent the coronation of Donald Trump as President.   Before discussing these efforts I'd like to remind you of one important fact: Donald Trump does NOT have a mandate.  Despite winning the most electors in the Electoral College, Hillary Clinton leads Trump by 1.7 million votes as of this writing.  And any mandate Trump might claim despite his loss of the popular vote has been further tainted by the fact that it was at least partially achieved by a wildly successful effort at voter suppression in the key states of Florida, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. Trump's supporters are trying to counter these points by claiming three million votes were cast for Hillary Clinton by illegal aliens.  Snopes investigated this claim and could find no evidence to support it.
