How would people react? I'm not saying this is likely. We're talking about a 0.000001% chance at most, but it's an interesting hypothetical for me. I can imagine many folks proving that consistency is completely beyond them. While this would technically be completely legal, and the results would be "legitimate", I can imagine several things:
-Many Clinton supporters would say "we won, you lost, stop being sore losers!"
-The overwhelming majority of Trump supporters would refuse to accept the results and protest, calling the vote "unfair" and saying "the people wanted Trump!"
-The electoral college apologists would suddenly decide that they hate the electoral college as it is, and that it's an outdated system that needs to be updated (no more faithless electors)
In short, lots of 180s.
