BTW - for all those defenders of the EC, the EC could, all by itself, decide to vote for someone other than Trump entirely.  And you would accept that, right?  (And yes I know there are "faithless elector laws"    -they just punish (and mildly at that) after the fact - they don't change the outcome.) Not saying I don't think it's highly improbable - just possible.  Just saying that is part of the mess that is the EC.
