President-elect Trump on Monday easily racked up the 270 Electoral College votes needed to send him to the White House, despite a last-ditch effort from protesters to influence so-called ‘faithless electors.’ Some electors did break with how their state voted: albeit in unexpected ways. In Washington, a state Clinton won by 16 points, the former secretary of state received just eight of the state’s 12 electoral votes. Colin Powell received three votes and Native American tribal leader Faith Spotted Eagle received one as part of an effort to promote a candidate other than Trump.
