On November 8th, Businessman Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton with 290 electoral votes to her 228 electoral votes but some argued that Hillary was "elected" due to her winning the popular vote. She received 60,839,922 votes to Trump's 60,265,858 votes. A petition from Change.org which garnered over 4 million signatures was sent to the electoral college a day before they vote on December 19th.


In a stunning shocking move, electors in Arizona,Iowa,Pennsylvania and Wisconsin switched their votes to Clinton giving her the presidency.

 WOW!!! The electoral college pulled a very unconstitutional move by handing the presidency to Secretary Clinton! They won't get away with this! SAD!!"

So how would Trump's appointed slate of electors become so easily bought?

I doubt Arizona and Iowa would switch, Maybe not even Pennsylvania.

UPDATE: That recount Jill Stein proposed in WI was rejected, so maybe not there either.
