Electoral College Vote Seals Trump White House Victory
Some of the election deniers are going to have a difficult 8 years! 
Electoral College Vote Seals Trump White House Victory
The Electoral College formalized Donald Trump's election victory on Monday despite protests around the country to encourage GOP electors to abandon the Republican.The president-elect easily racked up the 270 electoral votes needed to send him to the White House.
And some electors did break with how their state voted, albeit in unexpected ways. In Washington, a state Clinton won by 16 points, the former secretary of state received just eight of the state's 12 electoral votes. Colin Powell received three votes and Native American tribal leader Faith Spotted Eagle received one as part of an effort to promote a candidate other than Trump.
An elector in both Maine and Minnesota attempted to cast a ballot for Bernie Sanders, who unsuccessfully challenged Clinton in the Democratic primary. However state laws requiring electors to follow the statewide vote invalidated both efforts.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Yay! The suspense was killing me!
I cannot believe that you fell for this scam. The deal was sealed on Nov 8.
But you took the bait, and treated today like some suspenseful "event".
Get to work on the future?
Naw, let's have another round of high fives, and get that thrill of victory. Again.
Go team!
What a pity

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
