December 19th, 2016Via: MarketWatch:
Donald Trump was easily affirmed the winner of the 2016 election after the Electoral College met in state capitals across the country Monday, ending last-ditch attempts by activists in both parties to deny him the presidency.
A vote of Texas’ 38 electors in Austin gave Trump the necessary Electoral College votes to become president in January, ensuring his victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton. Despite intense pressure on electors across the country to reject Trump, he easily won more than the 270 electoral votes needed to become president.
