And what happened to Hamilton?

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.

Although if you compound that with Jill Stein's shenanigans (how much is she being payed for this?), then it looks like this could be an issue.
Put these traitors to America in prison.
Raising money? RICO.
It depends on where they are from. If it is 15 electors from Colorado, they were not going to vote Trump anyways.
Put these traitors to America in prison.
It wouldn’t break my heart if they were in body bags.
All of these antics involved in slowing down or holding up things are probably not really serving these people well in the long run in terms of public support and favourability (and it does not seem to be helping them now either).
I think it’s just random. I know that’s not enough, but they could get more.
What these people don’t realize is that if Trump doesnt take the oath in January there will be a shooting civil war. And their names and that organization will be at the top of the Trump voters list as enemies.
They refuse to accept the results that were obtained according to the Constitutional process.
Note that the guys you hear about are from CO, WA, states that Hillary won who obviously won’t vote for Trump anyway.
I read that most of these are RAT electors.
How does a RAT elector not voting for Trump, hurt Trump?
They still think this is some political shenanigans that they can get away with without any consequences like before under obama.
Here the deal with that 15 vote.. most if not all are hillary votes.. so it no loss of Trump votes...its all left wing grandstanding
Exercise in futility by morons on display for all to see...........
Why does this even get a headline. It is so foolish.
The Hill was never pro-Trump.
>>It wouldn’t break my heart if they were in body bags.
I agree. It is coming to that.
Michael Baca, a Democratic elector...
Big surprise. A Dem elector doesn’t want Trump. Looks like this elector has moved on to “bargaining” in the 7 Stages of Grief.
True
