CNN says the “faithless” electoral votes would prove to be historic – becoming the first presidential election since 1872 with more than one “faithless” elector.
It began with the charge that the Russian government hacked into the Democratic National Committee and provided WikiLeaks with thousands of emails created to boost Trump’s chance of victory over Hillary.
Trump managed to get Republicans to turn out and attracted independent voters. Some people really didn’t like Hillary Clinton, some felt obliged to support the party, some wanted a Republican to nominate the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s replacement, and some felt utterly alienated from popular political discourse.
