Celebrities Join Last-Ditch Effort to Persuade Electoral College to Elect Hillary Clinton

Some of Hillary Clinton’s top celebrity supporters are pulling out all the stops in one final attempt to change the results of Tuesday night’s presidential election, adding their names to and promoting a petition calling for electors in the Electoral College to go against state voters’ wishes to make the Democratic candidate president.

Celebrities including Lady Gaga, Pink, Amanda Seyfried, Sia, Jeffrey Wright and Laverne Cox have circulated a Change.org petition drawn up in the days following Donald Trump’s historic presidential election victory.

The petition, written by one Elijah Berg from North Carolina, had already gathered more than 3 million signatures as of Friday evening.

“Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic,” the petition reads.

“We are calling on the Electors to ignore their states’ votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton.”

More snowflake behavior

I hope the generation that follows this group is smarter.  We can't afford another generation like this


It isn't happening for them. Trump is the next president

I'm sure most of you know this, but this is called a "faithless elector." It's not that uncommon (in the past 16 elections, eight have had one, nine if you count one in Minnesota who misspelled a name on her ballot), but only one elector has ever been faithless in any of those elections.

Not only that, but 1) about half of the states of the Union have laws against faithless electors (including most of the crucial swing states), 2) even if there isn't a law against them, the electors are usually party loyalists who are impervious to lobbying, and 3) even if they weren't bound for Trump, they wouldn't be bound to vote for Clinton, either; in fact, every faithless elector has either been for a third-party candidate, a non-candidate, or a blank vote—never for the other major party candidate.

Believe us, trying to stop Trump from getting office using bureaucratic tricks isn't going to work. Ask the Cruz/Free the Delegates campaign.

If I were an elector who changed his vote and Hillary got into office, I'd be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life. Leaving the country might be a good option.

Good posting.  Thanks for the lesson.

Because of course "Celebrities" are much more intelligent than non celebrity Americans and living in their high dollar exclusive homes and communities they are much more in touch with everyday working Americans, so we should defer to their desires. They're freaking rich dilettante socialist who like all socialist at the top tier wish to impose their view of how to live on the masses while excluding themselves. A nice present for these cockroaches would be if they were left to depend on the other brain dead socialist leaches for their income by all others not buying tickets to their shows and movies or their music.

I agree that Trump isn't going anywhere but these are most definitely not "bureaucratic tricks". Since the earliest days of our nation, elected representatives have on occasion wisely ignored the will of the people. If it weren't the intent for them to be a final check, there would be no reason for representatives.
