@Olivier5,
Of course they are, but no one would argue that they are not unique Americans. It would not be a good thing if they alone can determine a election. Every candidate for years to come would be promising them everything under the sun.
In any case it's a moot point. Both campaigns knew the rules going in.
Trump won the Electoral College, Trump will be our President. If Dems and one Frenchman don't like it...tough. The former can try and amend the constitution for the future and the latter can watch.
