Two Colorado electors filed suit Tuesday in federal court, challenging a state law requiring them to vote for the winner of the popular vote when the Electoral College meets in less than two weeks.

    Wow, another group of Hillary supporters who are defiantly not awarding their, and their states constituency, votes to Hillary….

    “Though Hillary Clinton and Timothy Kaine won the majority vote in Colorado and are qualified for office, plaintiffs cannot be constitutionally compelled to vote for them,” the lawsuit states

    Wow, I guess Hillary didn’t win the election after all….

    “Plaintiffs are entitled to exercise their judgment and free will to vote for whomever they believe to be the most qualified and fit for the offices of president and vice president, whether those candidates are Democrats, Republicans or from a third-party.”

    So, it really doesn’t matter who won at the ballot box. What matters is what a small group of people want, a group much smaller than the group who actually voted…

      2.6 million more votes is the winner in any election..
      Except in the U.S.A…..

        If Hillary had won the election, (270+ electoral votes), but Trump had received 2.6 million more “popular votes”…..

        And the right was trying to “rig” the election, you know, so the actual winner didn’t win….

        You’d be freaking out and doing everything you could to prevent the election from being stolen

        Trump won the election.

        If election law doesn’t matter, and if the system that has elected every previous President suddenly isn’t to be accepted…

        Then we no longer have a country.

        The current US population is something like 400 million. 2.6 out of 400 is a really, really small segment.

        So, sorry. You’re candidate didn’t win.

      Those numbers of votes don’t help, so everybody ignore those numbers. We are at war with East Asia, we have ALWAYS been at war with East Asia.

    It’s hard to dispute the logic of our fine (and faithful) Grand Electors of Colorado.
