You mean will the electors vote as the will of their State and the laws thereof, or will they ignore it and go with the trendy feelings of Hillary voters?
My lily-white, tea party-loving relatives already live in a bubble. They no longer associate with me since I'm a moderate conservative, I live in Silicon Valley and I have no problem getting on a bus people from all over the world speaking different languages.
The historical mistake cannot be corrected by em, unless they somehow cancel the whole election or elect some third party candidate.
The electors only need to flip their vote. If enough electors flip their votes in favor of the losing candidate, the winning candidate becomes a historical footnote. In theory. Just because it haven't happened doesn't mean that it couldn't happen.
Thinking that you can amend the US Constitution now is as brainless as you think that Trump voters are.
If we are to have a discussion about changing the Electoral College, it might help if you didn't misread my comment. Nowhere in my comment did I say that amending the U.S. Constitution would be instantaneous.
My last job was at Cisco but my contract came up for renewal during an announced layoff period (October 2013) and the HR system prevented my boss from renewing my contract. The former CEO got a 60% raise for having a lousy fiscal year. I was out of work for eight months until I got into government IT.
He expected to get what he ordered to work? I did a PC refresh project for Dell at a Fortune 500 client when I discovered that a new workstation got shipped without a hard drive. My boss told me to call Dell tech support and wished me good luck. I was the asshole who had to explain that a workstation with missing hard drive was unacceptable, I couldn't ship back the missing hard drive because I didn't have it, and that it had to be shipped yesterday. It took a week to get Dell to ship out a replacement hard drive.
Same here, my contract ends in a few weeks. I only buy when I need them.:(
I work in government IT and my contract is fully funded for another three years. AFAIK, it's business as usual for the next three years as it would be unusual for Congress to cancel existing contracts outright. I'm preparing for the worse for the next four years.
I've spent zero dollars. Cyber Monday might change that but I'm doubtful. Considering that the political environment in the U.S. took a turn for the worst, I need the cash on hand more than the big corporations.
This is fake news to distract people from the fact that Donald Trump offered Fidel Castro a job in his administration to piss off Ted Cruz. He will make for an excellent Fed chairman, propped in the corner with sunglasses on.
Most SSD manufacturers released firmware updates to address the issue.
No firmware update available for my SSD model that came out last year. Windows 10 was already installed on the hard drive before I got the SSD drives. I had no trouble migrating from HDD to SSD.
... but MacOS, the SO the hardware was made for, bring your machine to it's knees, no?
I still have a Snow Leopard OS X partition that works fine. However, since Apple stopped supporting 32-bit processors, third-party updates for 32-bit software stopped coming. Since the web browser is my primary tool, I installed an OS that supported 32-bit processors for security updates.
To get Mac OS, you have to buy a heavily overpriced computer.
My overpriced 2006 Black MacBook (yes, I paid the extra $200 for the black version) is still ticking along. Running Mint Linux instead of Mac OS X. If I wanted to, I can install Windows 10 and it run just fine.
I found it funny that the Windows 10 Anniversary Update can't install on any of my systems at home because the updater thinks my SSD's are USB sticks and it won't install on USB sticks.

The point is that's not correcting the mistake, it's just moving the mistake slightly to the left.
Alternatively, the electors could nominate Bernie Sanders. But I'm not sure if that would be kosher.

Yes. But no one has trendy feelings for Hillary.
I think it is cute how you want to change to popular vote so that 18 percent of the nation can pick the president.
Considering that California represents 1/10th of the U.S. population, it may not be a bad idea.
I have a solution for you.

How about before an election, not right after the votes are counted and you don't like the results.
If we do it now, the Electoral College could be gone before the 2020 elections.

To change the Electoral College process now, after the popular vote is over, is sour grapes.
When is a good time to change the Electoral College if not now?
Will the electoral college serve as a rubber stamp or will the electors do their job to correct a historic mistake?

What makes him an asshole?

A double major in CS and Marketing is only good for running hardware companies into the ground.
If that isn't worth murdering someone over, I don't know what is.
Discounted toilet paper. Only in America. Oh, wait...

Too late. The Rolling Stones already performed in Cuba earlier this year.

Five bucks says you can't get Win 10 running on that hardware without resorting to a VM.

Slashdot exists to keep me amuse while I'm waiting for a script to finish running at work. I loved trolling the trolls.
