On December 19, 2016 the electoral college will vote. Based on the vote, Trump should receive 306 votes and Clinton will have 232. However, it is possible for many electors to change their vote. They aren't bound by it. There's currently a very well funded attempt to influence electors to flip their votes on December 19th to change the outcome of the election. Despite expectations that it is far fetched, it has a high chance of success. As of today, there are enough electoral votes in play to flip the outcome. The three outcomes in discussion right now: 1.Trump falls short of the electoral count (270) to become President and the election is sent to Congress for a decision. 2.Clinton gets more than 270 electoral votes and becomes the President. 3.A dark horse candidate (Kaisitch, etc.) would get the votes to become President. In my view: all of these outcomes would end in a disaster. Why? Most of the country sees this election as already decided. The voters have spoken. Any change the outcome of the election at this juncture would be widely seen as illegitimate. What would happen next would be worse. Trump would claim this is a coup d'etat and gather widespread support. Most of the states (which are Republican dominated) would support him on this. Until January 20th, chaos would ensue. Violent conflict would be widespread as groups (pro or against Trump) form and take action. I haven't fully gamed this out but I suspect Trump would be able to gather enough support to become President regardless of the electoral college result (anything less would result in a messy street level civil war). Fear of continued chaos would force this. The moment he is sworn in, he would invoke a state of emergency and quickly move to arrest anyone connected with the plot to nullify the election and anyone calling for violence. By the end of March, thousands of people could even find themselves in Guantanamo. -labelled as terrorists/traitors they would be denied access to legal representation or any outside contact until the emergency is over. Trump, strengthened by emergency powers and without an effective opposition (fear of being put on a list), would now be able to rule as a semi-dictator.

CIA coup, bringing it on home to the USA. It's what the Deep State/Shadow Government does. This sounds more alarmist than legitimate. 1) Most electors would view voting against their slated duty to be very anti-American, as an affront to everything they've been taught about why America is so great. They would have to be very hard pressed to abandon their duty. 2) It's reasonable to assume that the electors are as split on their Clinton/Trump preference as the general public, which is about 50/50, and that no elector personally favoring Trump would be persuaded to vote for Clinton. 3) If the vote started going down and it some electors were abandoning Trump to the point where it was throwing the election, I would imagine some pro-Trump electors from Clinton states, upon seeing this, would return the favor and abandon Clinton and vote for Trump. There are no guarantees that things won't get messy for the first time in US history, but to say that throwing the election has a "high chance of success" is a stretch.
it's completely alarmist nonsense. The people breathlessly pushing this absurd idea have got a screw loose. do they have any clue all the work and federal agencies that are already well on the way to completing this transition? even obamas spokesman said friday he is making every effort for a seamless respectful transition with President elect Trump's team. I suppose to each their own . if people want to be paranoid, as long as they don't bother me. 🐖 it is annoying to keep seeing this hysterical garbage though. if people really believe this sort of stuff, that is sad for them.

What if this is Team 'D's backup plan? IF for some reason the election went against Hillary Clinton, then a seeming "revolt of electors" comes into play? What if there were more than a few electors who are plants/subversives? The Demonrats play for keeps, it's part of their DNA. I hope that December 19 comes and goes the way it is supposed to.

if this were the case President Trump would probably get his generals take his white house by force. I think the likelihood of this scenario is zero. Clinton lost and she knows it. I'm confident that everything will be fine. For her to do something like this would illigitimize the entire govt, and the people in charge do not want that.
