I don't think so.

He was elected fair and square in accordance with our voting system. I don't support Trump, but don't agree with taking away the people's right to vote for who they see fit, even if it is someone like him.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Trump was not elected.  That will occur on Monday, if at all.  The election that took place was not for Trump but for electors.

That's a decent possibility.  He may work himself to death with his late-night tweets.

The electors are chosen by state party officials and pledge to vote in accordance with election results. Actual instances of electors voting otherwise is exceedingly rare. No way there are enough to flip this election.

Since the investigation did not reveal any tampering with the vote counts, the electoral college will vote as expected. As much as it breaks my heart to watch my country and its values crumbling before my eyes, Trump will be president.

Fuck. Fuuuuu-uuuuuuuuuuuu-uuuuuuuuuu-ck.

Are you sure?  A Harvard law professor has claimed that 20 electors have contacted him for legal advice:

Considering just my level of disgust and revulsion and disappointment with the dems, I could see a massive defection of Hillary's electors since there has been so much emphasis on the electors responsibility and ability to vote their conscience.

Just hearing about Podesta clicking on a tainted email as the original source of his email hemorrhage could make one come to the conclusion the dems are just too fucking stupid to rule . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
