Trump = 306, hillary = 232
Nov 24^th, 2016 at 11:53pm

A handsome victory

Quote:

Lansing — President-elect Donald Trump won Michigan by an even slimmer margin, according to new election results released Wednesday by the Secretary of State’s Office.

In unofficial results updated Wednesday, Trump led Clinton by 10,704 votes, or 2,403 fewer than the original unofficial results available early Nov. 9, hours after polls closed on Election Day, Nov. 8. In other words, Clinton picked up 2,403 votes.

Before Tuesday, the Secretary of State reported that Trump won by a 13,107 unofficial margin.

Tuesday was the deadline for county canvassers to send unofficial ballot counts to the Secretary of State’s Office before the Michigan Board of State Canvassers formally certifies the final ballot counts on Nov. 28.

The results that county canvassers sent to the state Tuesday will be presented to the board of canvassers to certify on Monday, after which results will be official.

Secretary of State spokesman Fred Woodhams said previously it is highly unlikely enough votes would shift to affect the outcome of a Trump victory.

County canvassing boards and clerks have spent the past couple of weeks double-checking their vote totals and making adjustments so they could meet the Tuesday deadline. In many cases, the clerks were adding votes for Trump and Clinton.

“The canvassing and certification process is how the state of Michigan, like the other 49 states, formally determines a winner in the days immediately following each election,” the Secretary of State’s Office wrote in an online post appended to the new results.

That is a bubble dream of the snowflakes like Marla. An excellent analysis of the futility of the Wisconsin recount, probably funded by Clinton, can be found in zero hedge.com. This election stands and the transition proceeds. All but the deluded know that.

The Electoral College don't meet until December 19.

That's when the vote that really matters take place.

It's very unlikely that they'll give the election to Clinton, however, it is a possibility (albeit a very slim one).

As usual, blame California. As antiquated as it is, the Electoral College system which has always over-represented smaller rural counties at the expense of California.

Trump simply won 306 electoral votes to Clinton’s 232.

However, a vote in the Electoral College, set for December 19, will officially entitle Trump to take the oath of office next January 20.

By January 20 2018, Trump will be impeached.

On what grounds ?

p.s.

Marla,
greggery made a prediction too.

An accurate worldly prediction needs some basis in reality.

So on what grounds will Trump be impeached ?

The irony about Trump claiming it was rigged is that the majority of legislative attempts to disenfranchise subgroups of voters comes from the REpublicans. REmember 2000? They literally opposed a recount. How does any fair and reasonable person oppose a recount when things are so close? They are commonplace in australia and in WA, the recount forced a re-election. Nobody calls foul. We might not like it but we accept that democracy is about votes counting and in this case, actually being counted.

The yanks needs a federal election system out of the grasp of states and various parties. In the AEC you cannot be involved in counting or taking votes if you are a member of a political party. In the USA, political parties virtually control the voting process!

We need to get rid of democracy.

Why so ?

Because it seems that democracy just doesn't work, to the satisfaction of those who it is meant to serve.

Hmmmm.

After we get rid of democracy, what can/should we replace it with ?

Hmmmm.

QUESTION;

Looking 1/ around the world, and 2/ looking across the history of mankind,
.....when and where have men [and women, ...nod to Monty Python] been governed most fairly, and most efficiently ?

Lets adopt that model!

Because........democracy just doesn't work......

The efficacy and the benefits [peace, justice, prosperity] for a people,    of democracy [in determining governance of a society], imo, will always be thwarted and undermined where a [societal] environment of general lawlessness is tolerated and widely accepted.

Where, the term 'lawlessness' = = little regard for the law, wherever/whenever the laws of the society have application to ourselves.

e.g.
There is no point or purpose in making a covenant with a person who is a known covenant-breaker    [....in a situation where there is no 'adequate' penalty against a covenant-breaker].

A    covenant-breaker    is a worthless person.

.

Among a people generally corrupt, liberty cannot long exist.
- Edmund Burke

None can love freedom so heartily, but good men; the rest have not freedom, but licence.
- John Hamilton

The best way to convince a fool he is wrong is to let him have his way.
- Josh Billings

".....lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God."

2 Timothy 3:1
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Proverbs 28:4
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

Have you ever considered making shorter posts with far less white space? If so, people might actually read them. Most people dont.

longweekend,

You should probably ignore all of my posts.

And perhaps instead, you could pursue and read the posts of ppl like Unforgiven, and Karnal.

Judging by your attitude to what i have written, i would say that you could probably become a lot more informed about the world in which we live, ...by reading the posts of ppl like Unforgiven and Karnal.

They have their fingers on the pulse.

Whereas my posts are way, way too long, and very inappropriately formatted, for people like yourself.
