February 13, 2017. Madison, GA. By The Numbers

The recent Presidential election seems to have divided our country more than ever before. The news is full of protests and rallies, for and against statements, executive orders, judicial opinions, Congressional maneuvering, debate on conflicts of interest and a host of other angry attitudes and confrontations. But the voting numbers for the Presidential election tell a more interesting story. I'll try to be "to the point".
* There were 231.5 million eligible voters.
* 138.9 million people actually voted. That is 60% of the eligible voters
* Neither Trump nor Clinton received a majority of the votes cast.
* Trump received 46.1% of the votes cast; 27.2% of the eligible voters.
* Clinton received 48.2% of the votes cast; 28.9% of the eligible voters
* A lot of people failed to exercise their right to vote and many of them are upset at the result.
Conclusion:
* Hillary Clinton had more popular votes than Donald Trump.
* Donald Trump won the Electoral College vote 306 to 232
* The most Electoral College votes wins the election according to the U.S. Constitution.
*A lot of people failed to exercise their right to vote and many are now upset at the result.
* Donald Trump is President of The United States even if only a quarter of the eligible voters cast a vote for him.
* If you want a different result, use the system which has worked for more than 240 years, vote, and see what happens.
More than likely, there will still be half the people who don't like the result and our country will stay divided and at odds with each other; we'll still be diverse, divided and disappointed about something.
For now, why don't we let the President do what he pledged to do before the election. Give him a chance. He is the duly elected President according to the U.S. Constitution. Give him a chance. Congress needs to grow up and do the job of representing the people who elected them and enact laws which benefit the country instead of looking out for their own personal welfare. And our judges need to enforce the law and uphold our Constitution.
And in all humility and with repentance for our pride, arrogance, and personal agenda...........may God continue to Bless America and shed His Grace on Our nation.
