Needless to say, there was virtually no “investigation," let alone “discernment,” in December of 2016 when members of the Electoral College gathered in the 50 state capitals (and D.C) and 304 of the 306 electors presumed to be pledged for Trump cast the ballots that officially made him our 45th president. To borrow Hamilton’s phrasing, these electors possessed the information that the New York developer was then accused of sexual misconduct by nearly 20 women (a list that’s continued to grow) and had even bragged about his assaults on an audiotape, that he’d openly asked Russia to hack his opponent’s emails and that he’d called for a ban on members of the Muslim religion from entering the United States, among many problematic things. They elected him anyway.
