Outcome
Donald Trump won the Electoral College by a narrow margin; Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a similar margin.
Reaction
The election of Donald Trump was a massive shock to much of America, while many on the far Right saw it as permission to unleash some of their worst tendencies.
A petition was launched on Change.org to ask members of the Electoral College who normally would have placed their vote for Trump to instead vote for Clinton, in accordance with the popular vote.
