		</div><p>Donald Trump has won the Electoral College vote despite protests to ensure that the businessman will become America&#8217;s 45th president.</p>
<p>An effort by anti-Trump forces to persuade Republican electors to abandon the president-elect came to practically nothing and the process unfolded largely according to its traditions.</p>
<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s polarising victory on November 8 and the fact Democrat Hillary Clinton had won the national popular vote had stirred an intense lobbying effort, but to no avail.</p>
<p>Even one of Mr Trump&#8217;s fiercest Republican rivals, Ohio Governor John Kasich, said it was time to get behind the president-elect.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;We want unity, we want love,&#8221;</i> Mr Kasich said as Ohio&#8217;s electors voted to back Mr Trump at a statehouse ceremony. Mr Kasich refused to endorse or even vote for Mr Trump in the election.</p>
<p>Mary Barrett, of Iowa City, Iowa, and her daughter Rebecca, right, react as Iowa&#8217;s six electors cast their Electoral College ballots for Republican Donald Trump.</p>
<p>With several states still voting, Mr Trump had 304 votes and Mrs Clinton had 169.<br />
It takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency.</p>
<p>Texas put Mr Trump over the top, despite two Republican electors casting protest votes.</p>
<p>Befitting an election filled with acrimony, thousands of protesters converged on state capitols across the country today, urging Republican electors to abandon their party&#8217;s winning candidate.</p>
<p>More than 200 demonstrators braved freezing temperatures at Pennsylvania&#8217;s capitol, chanting: <i>&#8220;No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!&#8221;</i></p>
