Just check this also , for US guys <| sep |> Popular vote doesn ' t determine the winner , you and I both know that , by disregarding that you are disregarding the law , and fighting against it now will only make you look worse . The electors do , which has literally nothing to do with the popular vote . Sure they traditionally vote along the popular vote in each state , but the electoral college exists to prevent corrupt , incompenent , unqualified demagougs from exploiting the system . As the American people , it is up to us to hold them responsible for doing their jobs . The election is lost , get over it , crying about it and rioting , isn ' t going to change anything . There is literally no requirement for the electoral college to actually vote with the popular vote . It ' s not over until the fat lady sings .
