The Electoral College dealt Big Media and Democrat Hillary Clinton one more final embarrassment. With nearly all the Electoral College votes cast, the former secretary of state set a 104-year record for the candidate with the most faithless electors. If you fell for the Big Media hysteria, then you might be surprised to hear faithless electors are actually pretty common.
(UPDATE: Since this article was first written, Mrs. Clinton got another faithless elector in the state of Hawaii. Her total now stands at 5.)
For all the headlines focusing on one faithless elector in Texas who turned out to be a complete fraud, it would really surprise you to hear that Mrs. Clinton not only lost more electors than President-elect Donald J. Trump, but the most of any candidate in over 100 years.
That’s right.
In what was a shocking development to Big Media, 4 Democratic electors in Washington State voted for someone other than Mrs. Clinton. The total was 3 for former Secretary of State Colin Powell, while the remaining one voted for Faith Spotted Eagle. Mrs. Clinton only secured 8 of the state’s total 12 Electoral College votes. That wasn’t the end to her troubles, either.
Not since 1912–when 8 Republican electors defected and voted for Nicholas Murray Butler instead of Vice Presidential candidate James S. Sherman, who died before the election–has anyone lost more electors than Mrs. Clinton. Sherman was President William Howard Taft’s vice president and they were both running for re-election.
Africa is a huge continent with a billion people and over 50 countries.
That being said, charity: water, a nonprofit with operations in several African countries claims the following:
"You can help us build wells. A freshwater well costs $5,000 and can serve an average of 250 people with clean, safe drinking water for 20 years."
Feed the Children, another nonprofit with operations in Africa claims that for only $120, you can:
"Help feed [300] school children with a traditional Githeri meal of corn and kidney beans."
Assuming three meals a day, you are left with:
$120 X 3 X 365 = $131,400
$5000 X 1 = $5000
Total cost of sponsoring a village of 300 for one year would then be:
$136,400

Objections
Since 1887, 3 U.S.C. 15 sets the method for objections to electoral votes. During the Joint Session, Members of Congress may object to individual electoral votes or to state returns as a whole. An objection must be declared in writing and signed by at least one Representative and one Senator. In the case of an objection, the Joint Session recesses and each chamber considers the objection separately in a session which cannot last more than two hours with each Member speaking for no more than five minutes. After each house votes on whether or not to accept the objection, the Joint Session reconvenes and both chambers disclose their decisions. If they agree to the objection, the votes in question are not counted. If either chamber does not agree with the objection, the votes are counted.

Hillary's Millstone Milestone = Stronger Losers Together!
If anyone comes across more videos of Hillary Supporters crying after today's Electoral College Vote, please share them in this thread. OK? Any video of celebrities packing to move away, or jumping off the Golden Gate bridge would be a bonus!

Well ... that was embarrASSing.
I hope she really does go to jail.
If T&C permitted ... there would be many words 'of emphasis' included with their reply.
