The 538 Electors of the Electoral College met in their respective state capitals yesterday and easily handed Donald Trump the mantle of Presidency with only 2 GOP electors defecting against him. Here are the results state by state with a breakdown on the numbers.
Report from Heavy.com:
Despite thousands of voters writing Republican electors and trying to convince them to flip against Trump due to Clinton’s winning the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes, chances were very slim that this would actually happen. History tells us that electors typically vote within their state’s guidelines and don’t flip or go faithless.
One of the first to be announced was when CBS News in Pittsburgh announced that all 20 of Pennsylvania’s electors have voted for Trump. This is in line with what their state’s popular vote required their electors to do, so it looks like no one in Pennsylvania ended up voting faithless. Pennsylvania was a state that many people were watching because of the recount attempt there and the controversy over a typically blue state turning red.
