givemeliberty01.com/2016/12/13/judge-says-electors-must-vote-for-statewide-winner/Judge says electors must vote for statewide winner I am glad that U.S. District Judge Wiley Daniel was able to see through all of the political bullshit and make the correct ruling. If the Electoral College members do not wish to be bound by their state laws let the resign and be replaced. Donald Trump won 306 Electoral College votes and deserves every vote Hillary won 232 votes so she deserves those votes. DENVER (AP) — A federal judge dealt a severe setback Monday to a longshot plan to deny Donald Trump the presidency through the Electoral College, refusing to suspend a Colorado law requiring the state’s nine electors to vote for the presidential candidate who won the state in November. U.S. District Judge Wiley Daniel denied a request by two Colorado electors who contended that the law binding their vote to Colorado vote winner Hillary Clinton violated their First Amendment rights and the intents of the Constitution’s framers. The electors had sought the right to vote for someone other than Clinton in order to unite behind a consensus Republican other than Trump when the Electoral College convenes on Dec. 19. Daniel found that suspending the Colorado requirement would have harmed the state’s voters and jeopardized a peaceful presidential transition. “Part of me thinks this is really a political stunt to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president,” said Daniel, who was nominated to the bench by Bill Clinton in 1995.
