A STANDING OVATION AT THE
RHODE ISLAND STATEHOUSE,
WHERE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

EXPECTED...SINCE CLINTON
WON RHODE ISLAND.
"Because I believe she is the
most
capable president, I will
continue to
support Hillary Clinton."

MORE THAN A FORMALITY.
NATIONWIDE, CLINTON WON
THE POPULAR VOTE, BUT LOST
THE ELECTORAL VOTE TO
DONALD TRUMP.
"Vote him out!"

PRESIDENCY.
"I know our electors are going
to be
voting for Hilary, but I'm just
standing up in general because
he
is a dangerous person."

DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE

ASK CONGRESS TO LOOK INTO
ALLEGATIONS RUSSIA
INTERFERED WITH THE
ELECTION.
"This is not about changing the
outcome. This is about defending
the will of the people. / "It's
not too
late to have a bipartisan
investigation so that the
American
public can have the facts and
this
kind of thing never happens
again.
