Colorado electors plan to challenge state law in bid to derail Donald Trump's victory
The Colorado Springs Gazette ^ | December 3, 2016 | Rachel Riley and The Associated Press

Four of Colorado's nine Electoral College electors plan to challenge a state law that would prevent a long-shot bid to keep President-elect Donald Trump out of the White House.

Robert Nemanich, of Colorado Springs, said Saturday he and three other electors intend to sue Colorado's governor, attorney general, secretary of state and state Democratic Party chairman claiming state law requiring electors to vote for the presidential and vice presidential candidates "who received the highest number of votes at the preceding general election in this state," is unconstitutional....

they’re already signed up to vote for HilLIARy

so this is just more DNC/SorosNazi BS

just like the kid in WashState and a couple other electors, all signed up to vote for the Corruptess, anyway

(has there been even one republican elector say s/he will go AWOL? I have not heard of one, nor do I expect to...)

this kind of deceptive garbage from the D party bosses and their lackeys ...is a significant part of the reason why the American people just flushed them down the toilet....and yet they STILL show NO signs of learning one damned thing, not one whit!

ps.. wait wait wait!
i just figured him out

what he’s really saying is....
I;m a Democrap elector....and I really want to elect HilLIARy....so, since I am a Democrap... I am gonna cast at least 50 electoral votes for HilLIARy

stuffing the ballot box with duplicates is, after all, a Democappic party TRADITION!~

end of translation. you just gotta listen extra-carefully when a D party hack speaks.... it is sometimes possible to discern, translate what they really mean.

that will be 50 cents, please

The plan would require that 270 electors agree to vote for a presidential candidate that was not on the ballot.

The plan would “ideally” involve electing a Democratic vice president, Nemanich said. A president and vice president from opposing political parties have not been elected in more than 200 years.

“There's no precedent for this,” Nemanich said. “If we're successful, there's going to be unrest.”

The Associated Press contributed the reporting of this article.

Yes, these people, and the reporters, are nuts.

They want to vote for another Republican hoping Trump doesn’t get 270

Well, that is nice of them. Small problem with their plan, they are suppose to be voting for Hillary. This is like the nitwit in Washington who stated that she would not cast her ballot for Trump. No duh honey child, Hillary won your state.

Article II -- U.S. Constitution
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State
Seems like some Democrats in Colorado don't like the manner in which the Colorado legislature directed for the appointment of electors. It shouldn't surprise us that Democrats aren't all that happy with the U.S. Constitution.

They aren't challenging the law for themselves. They want laws binding electors nationwide to be voided in the hopes that electors in states that Trump won will vote for someone else.

basically, these RAT electors are trying to combine with dissatisfied trump electors around the country to elect a person other than Trump or hillary.

This is insane. Whatever these CO electors do won’t affect Trump, only Hillary’s EV count.

LOL!

The Supreme Court ruled UNANIMOUSLY that the state legislature can set whatever laws they want on Presidential Electors.

Best election ever!

Hillary won CO.

Her electors are stuck on stupid and their stunt won’t prevent Trump from being elected later this month.

A pointless temper tantrum.
