The US Presidential Election is not taken well by many Americans having the opinion that Donald Trump is unfit for office. There are 2.5 Million Americans, and the count continues petitioning the Electoral College to favor Hillary Clinton instead.

Recently on Yahoo News, as of November 11 in the afternoon, the participants of the Electoral College are admonished to vote the rival Democrat candidate Clinton. The petitioner reasoned that his impulsivity, utter lack of experience, and his admission to sexual assault are their basis making Trump unfit for the Office of the President.

Petition Asks Electoral College To Go With Popular Vote

The indirect democratic process in selecting both the President and Vice President of the country can result in the fairest democratic election. In most states, members of the Electoral College can vote against their party without legal obligation aside from paying a fine.

Based on the Petition on Change.org, The Electoral College Electors will convene on December 19 to cast their final vote in choosing the President. They have the capacity to vote for the popular winner in their respective States which makes Donald Trump the 45th President of the country.

On the concluded Federal Election, Clinton won the popular vote; it so happens that Trump won most of the Electoral College number making him the winner of the Presidential race. This is the main reason why the petition is raised to call on the electors not to follow who won in their States but instead vote for who Majority of America voted for.

According to data presented by CBC, Pittsburgh Clinton was able to obtain a lead of at least 280,000 compared to Trump. Trump got a total of 290 Electoral Votes compared to Clinton's 228. The requirement of becoming President is 270 Electoral College Votes.

The electors are considered "faithless electors" as it does not emphasize in the US Constitution of the requirement of their opinion on December 19. People will wait for that date if their petition is heard.
