@tomyironmane I've seen that and it's highly unlikely. Over 99% of electors have gone the way of their state's voters since the electoral college's existence. The Electoral College was made so a few populous states couldn't team up and enslave the other states by outvoting them. Trump has 306 votes to Clinton's 232. That means they would have to convince a huge chunk of electors to betray all of their states and hand their votes to Clinton, when less than 1% of these electors has ever done that before.
The basis the petition was made off of was also that Hillary won the popular vote when that might not even be the case. Not all of the votes have been counted yet last I checked and apparently there's still more Trump votes projected to come in.
