A federal judge in Colorado on Monday denied a motion filed by two electors who want to avoid voting for the presidential candidate who won the state's popular vote in an effort to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.

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.

A judge with sense, and a federal one at that too.

Hillary won Colorado. These two electors want to avoid voting for Hillary in an effort to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.

Or move to Zimbabwe. My wound nurse is from there and he doesn’t recommend it.

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!

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!

I have said over the last year the Democrat Party is Evil. In my opinion they are trying us to see how far the can go.As for me I am willing to die before accepting their threatening our electors. If Americans do not awaken they will install a dictator. Wake up America the Democrat Party is very dangerous.

Excellent! BEST ELECTION EVAH!

Chris Suprun, his Democrat “Hamilton Elector” buddies, the MSM and the Democratic Party are saddened, deeply saddened.

There goes the plot to create chaos in the Electoral College and undermine’s Trump’s win.

The Left is going to be tied in fits. Losing the election is bad enough but losing the EC - well it was their last-ditch hope.

Good news is they keep right on losing. Merry Christmas!

How is not voting for Hillary, who won the popular vote in Colorado, help keep Donald Trump out of the White House? I have never really understood this.
