>>There is more than one purpose of the electoral college - as I pointed out to Kevin. Might want to read that.

And you might like to read the reply you already received.

If you're referring to the hope that the college electors would rise up in disgust against Trump: not only did that not happen, but DNC electors tried to defect against HRC with a ratio of 8:2. DNC electors in Maine, Minnesota, and Colorado tried to defect from HRC, but were thwarted by state rules binding their vote to the statewide winner.

If you consider your judgment sufficiently superior that it should trump voting preferences of your fellow citizens, get yourself selected for the HI college and try to vote against the state outcome. Show us how it's supposed to be done.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
