Misguided Challenge to President Trump's Election

Misguided Challenge to President Trump's Election

Presidential elections are won or lost in the Electoral College not in the total of the general population vote.  Let's not forget that the Electoral College is largely responsible for convincing all the semi-autonomous states to join our federated republic.  Each state, however small, gets two senators and the right to influence the presidential election.  We have been wise to avoid a pure direct democracy and the possible tyranny of the majority it can create.

President-elect Trump obtained 1.2+ million votes less than candidate Clinton in the general vote, yet California, along with its concentration of liberal voters, gave Clinton three million more votes.  New York City gave Clinton two million more votes than Trump.  Excluding California, Trump got two million more votes in the general population, and he won at least 85% of the 3,141 counties in the nation.

It is also ludicrous to suggest that the Russian government sabotaged the Clinton campaign.  The hacking of the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign could have been done by a number of bad actors, but the main issue is the content of the emails and the intent of the senders.

The bottom line is that the election is over, the Republican Party won, and Donald J. Trump will be the next President of the United States in the traditional American, peaceful transfer of power.  The time is for unity and national loyalty.
