| PentecostalTheology.comDonald Trump Completes Final Lap, Electoral College, to White House
More Electors Tried To Defect From Hillary Clinton Than Donald Trump
RIGHT NOW The Electoral College has affirmed Donald J. Trump as the nation’s 45th president, pushing him past the 270-votethreshold for election, with scant evidence of the anti-Trump revolt among electors that some of his critics had hoped would occur.
Late Monday afternoon, Republican electors in Texas vaulted Mr. Trump past the 270 mark, giving him 36 votes, with one each for Gov. John Kasich of Ohio and Ron Paul.
Normally a political footnote, the electoral vote took on unexpected import this year after Mr. Trump’s upset of Hillary Clinton, who won the popular vote, spawned a determined effort to block his path to the presidency by grass-roots advocates who saw him as unfit for the White House and, to some, a threat to the political system.
