if donald trump dosent except the voting results what will happen
Clinton will still be president. Trump's acceptance is irrelevant.
If Donald Trump does not accept the voting results of an election, several steps would typically occur. Here is a step-by-step explanation of what would happen:
1. Election results certification: After the votes are counted, each state and the District of Columbia would certify their election results. This involves reviewing the vote counts, ensuring the accuracy, and verifying the winners.
2. Electoral College vote: On the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December following a presidential election, the Electoral College meets to officially cast their votes for the President and Vice President. The electors are chosen by each state based on the popular vote result.
3. Congressional certification: On January 6th following the election, a joint session of Congress is held to officially count and certify the Electoral College votes. This process is presided over by the Vice President. If there are any objections to the results, they must be submitted in writing and supported by at least one senator and one representative.
4. Resolution of objections: If objections are raised during the Congressional certification, the House and the Senate separate to debate and vote whether to accept or reject the objection. Both chambers would need a majority vote to sustain the objection and overturn a state’s Electoral College votes.
5. Inauguration day: In the United States, the inauguration of the President occurs at noon Eastern Time on January 20th after the presidential election. The President-elect is sworn into office, regardless of any objections or disputes.
It's important to note that accepting the results of an election is a long-standing democratic norm, and most instances of a candidate not accepting the results have happened in very rare circumstances. If a candidate were to refuse to accept the results, it would likely lead to legal challenges and political debates, but the final decision rests with the electoral process outlined above.
