Anti-Trump Protests Erupt Ahead of Electors’ Convention

Local Editor

Anti-Donald Trump demonstrators staged rallies in several US cities ahead of the Electoral College members' convention to finalize the 2016 presidential election outcome.

On Sunday, a large number of protesters in Washington, DC, New York, Los Angeles and Denver denounced the Republican president-elect's campaign rhetoric toward immigrants and minority groups.

The rallies were held on the occasion of International Migrants Day. Trump has pledged to deport millions of undocumented immigrants after taking office in January 2017.

Opponents of Trump, including documentary filmmaker and activist Michael Moore, have called to hold demonstrations against the president-elect.

On Saturday, Moore asked Americans to get out and stop Trump from being inaugurated as the US president, before it is too late.

He urged people to manifest their anger into action with protests and civil disobedience.

All 538 Electoral College electors will convene at governors' offices and state capitols across the US on Monday to officially elect Trump as the 45th president of the United States.

Under the US Constitution, the president is not elected through popular vote. Instead, Americans vote for members of the Electoral College who elect the president on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December following the presidential election. A majority of 270 electoral votes are required to elect the president.

Though he lost the popular vote to his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes in the Nov. 8 election, Trump won enough states to claim 306 electoral votes to emerge as the victor.
