Okay, suckers, listen up. 

The electoral college hasn’t voted yet. 

They don’t vote until December. And while 29 states and DC have laws requiring electors to vote along state lines, the rest don’t. 

Donald Trump only got a few votes (nine) into the majority. 

If a handful of electors swing or even abstain and become faithless electors, the entire system would get thrown into crisis. 

These are the states that require electors to vote according to state popular vote. That leaves:

1. Arizona
2. Arkansas
3. Florida
4. Georgia
5. Idaho
6. Illinois
7. Indiana
8. Iowa
9. Kansas
10. Kentucky
11. Lousiana
12. Minnesota
13. Missouri
14. New Hampshire
15. New Jersey
16. New York
17. North Dakota
18. Pennsylvania
19. Rhode Island
20. South Dakota
21. Texas
22. West Virginia 

All states where electors can do whatever the hell they want. In fact, even in the other states electors are only subject to a small fine. 

So, in summary, until December you can harass the hell out of your electors (list found here). Remind them who won the popular vote. Remind them of their duty to protect the nation. Tell them how the presidency will affect you directly. A faithless elector is a pretty big deal, and even one of two would make a big impact in terms of showing how awful our presumptive president elect is. 

This fight isn’t over yet. 

Someone tell me this is true!

she conceded. this is over

She def conceded, I don’t even think she could win if she hadn’t, but the point now is to make as much trouble as possible. Kick up a fuss. Make sure our voices are heard, and maybe hammer home how fucked up the electoral system is. We need to start thinking about the future, and for many of us that relies on making sure Trump has as little actual power as possible, hopefully by convincing members of Congress that the general population is not happy. Being good little voters didn’t work, the electoral system screwed us over, now it’s time to start screaming and never stop.
