To the hard core Democrats and others leaving in fear (Muslims, Latinos and others), all is not lost, yet. Consider these issues: There is no love lost between Donald Trump and the Republican Party (and we all know the reasons for the existing tension); instant negative reactions to the election results nationally, as was evident in at least seven States with thousands protesting (which is likely to continue) and internationally (just check the Headlines). There are serious questions raised by all sides with regard to Trumps' character, qualifications, temperament, lack of knowledge and experience in the public service, the military and foreign and international affairs, his ability to assume the responsibilities of the Presidency. Also, Hillary Clinton won the Popular Vote. According to the Constitution, Electors of the Electoral College are really the ones who vote for President when they meet on 19th December. However, there is no rule of law that can prevent or stop any Elector to from going "rogue", although there is a small penalty for so doing. Taking into account the issues above, my question: is there the slightest possibility that a few "Electors", may decide to reverse the vote to which they are bound or abstain? I know that this is a very, very long shot.
