Revolt goes poorly as Trump wins easily: “Trump’s defeat of Hillary Clinton follows a desperate and unprecedented attempt by Democratic electors to foment a revolt by convincing Republican electors to vote against him, an effort that collapsed with little to show for it. Just two of the 306 Republican electors, both from Texas, ultimately cast a ballot against Trump.”

BILL CLINTON. Emotional after casting electoral vote: “I never cast a vote I was prouder of…You know, I watched her work for two years. I watched her battle through that bogus email deal. She fought through that. She fought through everything, and she prevailed against it all and then at the end … the FBI deal — she couldn’t prevail against that.”

Bill ChumleySOUTH CAROLINA. Lawmaker hopes to block computers bought in the state from accessing porn, unless users pay a fee: “Both sellers and buyers could get around the limitation, for a fee.

Buyers could also verify their age and pay $20 to remove the filter.”
