When the Electoral College was designed in the 1800s, its stated purpose was to prevent horribly unqualified and unlawful individuals from ascending to the Presidency. Now, almost 200 years after its institution, the Electoral College stands as the last wall between Donald J. Trump, a serial liar and fraud who's awaiting trial on the rape of a teenage girl, and the White House.

The election of this man has already been shown to cause major problems for our nation. Millions of people have taken to the streets in non-violent protest, the Dow Jones plummeted more than 600 points upon his election (a worse downturn than they saw throughout the whole of the Great Recession), and dozens of black/brown and queer people have been reported dead either as a result of racist and homophobic violence or because of suicide. All this has happening over the span of two days, and is likely to get worse as Trump begins his crusade against black/brown people, women, the disabled, queer people, and non-conservatives.

This petition implores the duly elected electors from the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire to give their states' Electoral College votes to Hillary Clinton and Timothy Kaine as a rebuke to Mr. Trump's debauchery and demonstrated ill-preparedness for the Presidency.
