And since he's chosen by the electoral college, he really is a representative of all the states.  And because those states are represented, correctly IMO, roughly in proportion to how they are in Congress then who that state wants to cast for is a decision the should be entirely up to the people in that state.  It's the United States of America, not the United People.

I'm not for changing the EC...especially AFTER the election just because some people don't like the result.

But that's an over simplification in bold.

My county, where a Republican can barely get on the ballot in local elections voted a majority of republicans into office on the state level and above.

In fact Trump almost doubled Clinton in my home county. (Rural, an hour from Pittsburgh)

But does that go say then that the 17,000 people who did vote for Clinton shouldn't have their votes counted nationwide?  

In other words he won the county, by a 2 to 1 margin, but that doesn't make the county all red by any means.
