    I’m willing to bet the people there protesting did in fact not vote for it. There were 140k people who did not vote for Trump in Alaska. The electoral college is a joke and makes people believe that everyone in any given state must agree with where the points went.

        Thats a 5th of Alaskas population. Considering a 63% voter turn out thats 30% of all voters. So yeah a pretty sizeable chunk but nowhere near enough.

            How many of those 700k are under the age of 18 and can’t vote? Only 180k voted for trump also, it’s not like it’s some huge majority of voters over who voted for Kamala.

            Well no it would be 3.5/5ths but yes a majority none the less. So are you saying people shouldnt protest, because they were overruled by a stupid majority?
