That will probably be right but 2 states haven't certified yet. Michigan (16) is leaning toward Trump and New Hampshire (4) is leaning toward Hillary but they are still officially "to close to call". If Michigan were to flip and go her way, which is still possible, then it's 290-248.
Google has been following this in real time. You can see what I'm seeing here: https://www.google.com/#q=current+electoral+vote+count

I see.
Wasn't thinking correctly before, the four for New Hampshire likely to turn blue should not make a difference in the number of faithless electors needed.
But, I think it is 21 based on the 290 count, not 22. This increases to 37 if Michigan turns red and New Hampshire turns blue.

As unlikely as it is, it seems this is exactly one of the scenarios they had in mind when forming the Electoral College in the first place. So I don't know, but it seems like it is their responsibility to reject his election.

Hmm. I wonder whether they can pre-impeach him.
