HERE INSIDE THIS BUILDING AND
THERE WAS A LOT OF PROTEST.
AT THE STATE CAPITOL TODAY THERE
WAS PLENTY OF SOUND.
>> I WANT MY CHILDREN TO KNOW
THIS IS NOT OK WITH ME.
>> WE ARE NOT GOING TO STAND FOR
THIS.
REPORTER: AND FURY.
>> TO ME WHOEVER WINS THE
POPULAR VOTE SHOULD TAKE THE
OFFICE.
REPORTER: BUT WINNING THE
POPULAR VOTE LIKE HILLARY
CLINTON DID IS NOT HOW WE ELECT
A PRESIDENT.
INSTEAD, WE HAVE AN INDIRECT
PROCESS KNOWN AS THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE.
THE FOUNDING FATHERS DIDN'T
TRUST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO
PICK A PRESIDENT, SO THERE IS NO
NATIONAL ELECTION, BUT RATHER 50
INDIVIDUAL STATE ELECTIONS WITH
ELECTORS LIKE LAURENCE ZAKSON,
WHO ARE REQUIRED TO VOTE FOR
CALIFORNIA'S POPULAR VOTE
WINNER.
>> IT'S VERY EXCITING TO BE
REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA WHO VOTED 2 TO 1 FOR
HILLARY CLINTON.
REPORTER: AND TODAY AS EXPECTED,
HILLARY CLINTON WON ALL 55 OF
CALIFORNIA'S ELECTORS.
>> I'M VERY HAPPY THAT I'LL BE
ABLE TO VOTE FOR HILLARY
CLINTON.
IN CALIFORNIA SHE WON BY A
LANDSLIDE.
REPORTER: IN FACT, CLINTON
CAPTURED CALIFORNIA BY 4 MILLION
VOTES.
BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO OFFSET
DONALD TRUMP'S ADVANTAGE IN THE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE, WHERE HE WON
A MAJORITY OF VOTES.
EVEN THOUGH SOME PROTESTORS WERE
PRAYING FOR ELECTORS IN RED
STATES TO DUMP DONALD TRUMP.
>> THEY ALSO HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO USE THEIR BRA
AND TO DO THE RIGHT THING, VOTE
THEIR CONSCIENCE FOR THE WHOLE
UNITED STATES, NOT JUST FOR
THEIR STATE.
REPORTER: BUT IN THE END, DONALD
TRUMP WILL BECOME THE NATION'S
45TH PRESIDENT NEXT MONTH
ALTHOUGH MANY IN CALIFORNIA ARE
TRYING TO ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL
