The election of Donald Trump as
president is a bitter pill to swallow for millions of Americans — and
some are backing a quixotic campaign to reverse that outcome.
As of Friday afternoon, more than 2.4 million people
had signed a petition to the U.S. Electoral College, urging its members
to ignore their states’ votes and cast their ballots for former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so
many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history
of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the
Republic,” wrote Elijah Berg, who launched the petition on Change.org.
Berg, of North Carolina, argued that the Electoral
College can award the White House to either candidate and should use its
own “most undemocratic” institution to ensure a “democratic result.”
Berg continued: “24 states bind electors. If electors
vote against their party, they usually pay a fine. And people get mad.
But they can vote however they want and there is no legal means to stop
them in most states.”
