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 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. “
Another way of looking at it, since Colorado was called for Hillary, this is a tacit admission that she did not honestly win anything....
Translation of judges order.
Are you crazy. You do realize you will undermine the federal government and its institutions. Do you not understand this could affect me, and I have a good thing going.
Now go mess up some state laws somewhere and leave my world alone.
In other words, judge tells plaintiffs to pound sand.
Well, that ends that crap!
Now hillary, bill, podesta and mook can swirl around and flush themselves.
I’m sure these electors took on the legal expenses themselves
Clinton won Colorado!!!! What???????
Cruz pioneered this BS with his attempts to game the electors during the primaries.
Let's hope he gets upheld on appeal.
Of course, all these judges’ decisions that prevent the snowflakes from stopping Trump will be viewed by the media and other libs as making Trump illegitimate.
They are quick to embrace judicial decisions when they favor them, but somehow judges are bad when they go against their whining wishes.
Robert Nemanich, one of the electors suing Colorado, is with Occupy Wall Street.

Or how about not agreeing to serve as elector for a candidate if you don’t like him.
“Court costs assessed against Plaintiffs in the amount of eleventy billion dollars.”
He's right.
The electoral college was not set up so a handful of men and women could elect the president themselves.
If that were the case, then forget the whole election process and just establish an oligarchy were a few people in the good ole boy network decide who's going to run the country.
Like ALL representatives, they are to represent the popular vote of their own state, NOT their own personal opinion.
If they can't or won't do their job, then someone else should get it.
