My mind more shocked at the repugnant spectre and vile strench of a Trump presidency. Conway and Omarosa have now put us all on notice that an enemies list has been created.

Snort...amateurs

I was wondering how tourists would react, since so many of them were out and about themselves at 4:30 p.m., but was very pleasantly surprised to see hundreds of them applauding and cheering us on, even from hotel balconies above us, and also recording the march via cell phone. And a good number of them even spontaneously joined us.

One young blonde woman from Oregon was applauding and crying before stepping in line. Another middle-aged couple from Virginia who had also joined the march thanked us afterward. "I've been wanting to yell and vent my anger since Tuesday night," the wife said. "It felt good to be with other people who feel as we do." Her husband added that he felt reinvigorated and ready to get involved when they returned home.

There were about 100 or so HPD officers accompanying the march on bicycles, and helping with traffic management since we were crossing several busy intersections, and we all made sure to thank as many of them as we could for their work tonight. One of them looked at me and thanked us instead, and said that it was a honor to be with us, even though they were on duty.

And afterward, we were so inspired that we set fire to several police cars, looted a couple of jewelry stores, robbed the patrons at a McDonald's at gunpoint, and terrorized some elderly people just for the hell of it, all the while chanting "Hey, where the white women at?"

Okay, I admit that the stuff in the last paragraph didn't happen at all, except in the fevered mind of one of the TL regulars. (You know who you are.)

Still, it was a great afternoon and evening. I hadn't been at a bona fide dissident political protest since -- well, since Vice Pres. Dick Cheney graced up with his presence 12 years ago. It felt great to do so again.

Then you expect us to believe with you and buy into some BS narrative about voter fraud and thus act differently because of your "truth".  (Problem 2)

If the popular vote mattered, we would have had at least 12 years of Democratic presidents, possibly a different economy, possibly a totally different world w/r/t to terrorism and climate change. So no, we don't know if we'd have had "broad challenges" - any more than we always do.  Secondly, if the popular vote is so bad, why do we use it FOR EVERY OTHER ELECTION IN THE US?

Further, you need to define "illegal vote" and cite your source for that information. Because personally speaking, the number of "2M-3M" sounds like it's been pulled out of your posterior.

Because historically, there really has never been any instance in this country of massive "voter fraud," which implies that voters themselves are the perpetrators. That's simply not the case.

Whenever electoral fraud has occurred (and it's a relatively rare occurrence), it's never been found in the individual casting of one's own votes. Rather, it happens after the polls are closed during the subsequent counting of the ballots, whether it be falsely padding the totals or deliberately undercounting the actual number of ballots cast. In Florida during the 2000 election, for example, it's been estimated that about 174,000 ballots were never processed or counted.

We've all heard the adage, "Tyranny of the Majority." While most votes are still, "majority rules," minorities have to be protected. If everything was determined by the majority we might end up with a country where only Catholicism is permitted.

Think about it, if we accepted the popular vote, let's say in the election just passed, we could have a case where approximately 15 States would have no say in the outcome at all. The smaller states have only 3 electoral votes, while California alone has 55. I know Eric Schmidt, CEO of California's Silicon Valley & Google has a slogan, "Do no evil," but, I think I'll take my chances with the hillbillies of Montana rather than be forced to have a group hug with all those geniuses.
