Electoral College Voters Form Group To Block Trump Presidency [fake news-jimrob]
The Hill ^ | 12/01/16 | BROOKE SEIPEL

Electoral College voters based in Colorado have formed a political non-profit to block Donald Trump from the presidency.

According to The Denver Post, Michael Baca, a Democratic elector, filed paperwork Tuesday with the Colorado Secretary of State's Office to create the "Hamilton Electors," a group able to fundraise unlimited donations from individuals, corporations and labor unions for political reasons.

The goal of the group is to convince Republican and Democratic Electoral College voters to unify behind a Republican alternative for President or force an Electoral College deadlock.

“I was opposed, actually, to raising money because I would prefer to just have this done organically,” Baca told The Denver Post. “But we’ve had people throwing money at us through our website.”

Baca also told the newspaper several Democratic voters and one Republican voter have officially committed to the movement, and the group is in talks with four other Republican voters as well. It will be difficult however. There are laws in 29 states that prohibit electors from voting contrary to how the state's population votes.

Ultimately, Baca thinks the success of the movement is unlikely, but is pursing it anyway.

“In all likelihood, when it’s all said and done, we’ll probably end up sending that money back to the people,” Baca told The Denver Post.

These are the dumbest articles yet. A handful of dem electors saying they "will not vote Trump" when they were legaly bound to vote for whoever won their state.

Otherwise, Facism by any other name.

It could be that they have none also. This Baca moron from Colorado has been going on about this since right after the election. It is hard for me to believe that a large number of Republican electors are going to go along with this idiot.

This is a purposely deceptive story and Baca is a purposely deceptive person. He is not any kind of “Hamilton Elector” he is a Hillary elector, CO voted and elected Hillary electors and that is what he is. Of course, he will vote for Hillary, he is supposed to vote for Hillary. He is just making this crap up.

They really want to start a shooting war. If Trump is blocked by any of these schemes, the country will burn and a lot of lamp posts are going to be decorated.

They have 15 Hillary electors that will not vote for Trump. Just another Leftist fund raising scam.

I thought the libs DEMANDED Donald Trump accept the results of the election, and now they are the ones who refuse to accept the result. Libs were just projecting as per usual

I agree. It is coming to that.


If they steal an election, I would hope every liberal involved has a short life span.

I would only defend myself but I wouldn’t care if others torched D.C. Like so many, I am sick of the bs.

It’s totally absurd because they all seem to be Hillary electors. To the extent anyone changes their Vote or encourages others to do so, they are evil people.

“He is just making this crap up.”
I think so too. Rats across the nation are having issues accepting reality lately.

Democrat’s forget that their selected not elected meme in 2001, divided the nation and allowed 9/11 to occur. How many Americans will these children dressed in adult clothes get killed this time ?
