Well, that was certainly unexpected.

You know, of course, about the petition to the electors asking them to vote Clinton. Go ahead and sign it - it won't make any difference in this election, but even a tiny amount of pressure for ditching this silly system is better than none.

There's now a counter-petition asking the electors to vote for "some other Republican" - just not Trump. I was kinda hoping Republicans wouldn't find out about the first petition for a while, but that's a twist I wasn't expecting!

There are also the same "end the electoral college" petitions floating around that there have always been. It may well be a complete waste of time, but go ahead and sign the lot of them.
