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.

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.
LOLOL!!!!!
Remember this that death threats are a 2 way street.
Agreed.
The dumb democrat electors were trying to get a judge to say the law was unconstitutional therefore freeing up republican electors to bail on trump in states where they also require their electors to vote for the winner.
Otherwise known as Obamacore.
You mean like, lefty loosey??
