On Monday, the 24-year-old Democrat wore a T-shirt saying “Enough Is Enough” and refused to cast his ballot for Clinton. Moments before, Baca had taken an oath pledging to support the winner of Colorado’s popular vote.

This makes five now, no?! For hillary.

In what way was his protest a “never-Trump” vote? He was supposed to vote for Hillary Clinton, but he refused to do so. Wouldn’t that be a “never-Clinton” vote?

Six, right?
I thought there was one in Maine too. Plus four in Washington, and this one in Colorado.

I wonder how these 5 dems would have voted if their vote would have swung the election to Trump.

Six turncoat votes against Hillary.
Seems two in Texas intend to betray Trump, but may not make it to the ballot.

Not rare but usually not in these quantities.
As usual they will have no affect on the election

Looks like that celebrity video backfired. Well, they did say they weren't asking them to vote for the Hildabeast and to vote their conscious...so I guess their conscious wouldn't let them vote for the 'Beast...

What about the 20 electors that the law professor managed to change? I guess it was all liberal fantasy!

Part of what drives my wife, from Japan, insane is the differences between the state laws - she just can’t understand why it isn’t all federal - despite my many explanations that local is better.
