According to thedenverchannel.com, Judge Wiley Daniel said granting the injunction to allow electors to vote against the popular vote would "undermine" the electoral process.

He advised the plaintiffs to try to change state law if they were unhappy instead.

They’re trying to persuade Republican electors in other states to do the same.

This looks oddly familiar. I think I heard of this. It was practiced prior to thr beginning of the 21st century. I think it’s called “The Rule of Law”. Fascinating!

The delusional belief that if they vote for someone other than Hillary that enough GOP electors will jump ship in order to throw the election into the House. Some RINO who would cause enough crossover vote to throw the election to that individual.

As I said, delusional.

While they are working on changing state law they can also get to work on their constitutional amendment to repeal the electoral college.

Have fun guys!
