The Electoral College

31. Trump did not steal the election via the EC.

Thinking like that completely misunderstands how the EC works. He won the states that gave him enough EC votes to become President. It's as simple as that. Back on November 9, 2016, there was a lot of pointing out that Hilary didn't campaign in certain crucial states that would have made a difference.

In fact, a truly worst case scenario is that a candidate takes the 11 states needed to gain 270 EC votes: California, Texas, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey and win them by the tiniest of majorities. Every other state goes in a huge way for the other candidate, with a significant majority of the overall vote. Nonetheless, the candidate with those 270 EC votes becomes president. Here's a link to an excellent article about the EC, which includes various scenarios: https://www.npr.org/2016/11/02/500112248/how-to-win-the-presidency-with-27-percent-of-the-popular-vote

And again, there's not just a single slate of electors who are then supposed to vote for whoever won in that state. Each and every party has its own specific slate of electors. In fact, among Kanye West's problems with his run for President is electors. Here's a link to an article about one of those problems. https://www.newsweek.com/kanye-west-ohio-election-president-donald-trump-1523262
