Most people, whether Republican or Democrat at least agree that this past election has been unusual to say the least. Filled with the elements of intrigue normally found in a Tom Clancy movie ('Clear and Present Danger' - Hunt for Red October), false accusations, tales of corruption, etc., -there is still a question I have not seen any news on: "Why isn't the EC being investigated?" The EC is charged with 2 main tenets in the Constitution in regards to the presidential election: 1) to affirm the winner of the popular vote, and 2) to appoint the best qualified candidate by means of education, experience, and character. With that being said, "why did the majority of the EC appoint Trump?" He lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million, (of course if we believed his 3-5 million illegal voters that number could be much higher), has never held public office, dropped out of college, 6 bankruptcies, a confirmed adulterer, womanizer, fraud, tax evader, chronic liar, narcissist, racist, misogynist, and accused sexual predator among other accusations. All of this begs the question: "was the EC bribed or blackmailed into appointing Trump?" I find it very difficult to pass on that thought.

You need a course in Civics. The Electoral College does not appoint anyone. their function is to vote for the candidate who received the most votes in their state. This is what makes our nation a Republic and this is why we have a Republican form of government. It is deliberately done this way to prevent rule of the mob (Demos) we are emphatically not a Democracy, we have a democratic form of government ONLY, in that one man or women gets one vote, to exercise or not as they see fit.
The electoral college normally votes for the candidate their fellow statesmen selected. Occasionally there are faithless electors and this is what prompted the barrage of cajolery, pleas, and outright threats of bodily harm, to electors, in an effort to cause them to be faithless.
If you want to rail at anyone, set your sights on all the idiots demonstrating with "Not My President " signs who couldn't be bothered to exercise their franchise and vote for their candidate. They have plenty of time to riot in the streets but wouldn't take an hour to vote.
All of these accusations "a confirmed adulterer, womanizer, fraud, tax evader, chronic liar, narcissist, racist, misogynist, and accused sexual predator among other accusations." are drivel drummed up by Trump's opponents.
In the scales of Justice, both Clinton's corruption, venality, perjury, sexual predations, confirmed adultery and rape, chronic lying, threatening of witnesses in criminal proceedings and treasonous behavior which is proven fact far outweighs any allegation made against Trump . How many times is it recorded and proved that Trump rode the Lolita express with the Clinton's, to Pederast Paradise? It wasn't Trump who was called a liar by the Director of the FBI with regard to her criminal exposure of State Secrets to our enemies.
Your bringing up this ancient refuted bunch of stupid accusations with an additional charge of bribery of Electors is ludicrous. Why don't you claim Trump is an illegal alien, he came from Mars?
It is interesting that three times as many faithless electors failed to vote for Clinton, the damage they attempted to do to Trump rebounded to their detriment.
