Donald Trump Officially Elected As US President By Electoral College

Donald Trump has officially won the electoral college, and will be the President of the US come January 20. The president-elect officially won the 270 electoral college votes needed to formalise his presidency.

Electors have said they had received thousands of emails from concerned citizens asking them to not vote for Donald Trump in the December 19th electoral college vote.

         

Texas put Donald Trump over the 270 threshold, despite two of his electors voting against him.

According to the New York Times, four other Democratic electors were also reported to have cast their votes for other candidate that is not Hillary Clinton. The official result will later be announced on January 6 in a special joint session.

Donald Trump also goes on Twitter to appreciate his supporters for the victory while officially taking a swipe at the media.
