Of course, it not likely to happen, but that's hardly the point.
From the article:
In modern practice, the Electoral College is mostly a formality. It is true, as the National Archives and Records Administration notes, that there is “no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires Electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their states.”

I know that you're wishing and hoping. There's a lot of young 'uns out there wishing and hoping for the same thing. Here's the point. At some point in your life you have to learn that someone is going to say "No". Maybe even "Hell no!" Get used to it. It's appearing more and more likely that Trump either won the popular vote or at least lost it by only a narrow margin. Also, there are an estimated illegal votes (dead people, illegal aliens, multiple votes from the same voter, etc) all cast for Hillary and by subtracting those, Trump absolutely wins the popular vote. Now take it from me. I've voted in a lot of elections and the person I've voted for has lost more often than not. I too had to learn to deal with it and I did. I didn't riot. I didn't piss and moan. I accepted it like an adult and learned to live with the disappointment. Why not follow me?

That would be a really bad idea IMO. We had an election, Trump won. I'm not happy about it, however there is another election in less than two years. We should be focusing on that one, not spilled milk.

Oh absolutely, it'd be chaos. With all that's going on now though, I'm not going to make life easy.

What is wrong with so many of you?
We the Citizens of the United States of America, DO NOT, and NEVER HAVE lived in a Democracy, we live and are governed as a Republic. I for one do not want to live under a government where "majority rules", because a majority rule always turns into a tyranny.
Another thing, how many people that are calling for this change actually went out and voted? How many are even registered to vote?
Now let's take a look at some raw numbers:
318.9 million US Population (2014)
225.8 million US Registered Voters (2016)
125.4 million US Votes Cast 2016 Presidential Election
I really do not care who you vote for, what we all should care about, is - are you eligible to vote and if so did you vote!
One other thing, take a look at the map and think about what a number of others have stated before, Do you want to have the West Coast and North-Eastern States to completely control the Federal Government? If that is the case, I would suggest that you take a deep look inside and really see if public service is right for you.
Next, I would suggest that you re-read or read the Constitution without commentary and with a proper dictionary for something you may not know or understand.
