Judge orders Colorado electors to vote for Hillary Clinton
By NICHOLAS RICCARDI, Associated Press

DENVER (AP) — Colorado's nine electors must vote for Hillary Clinton because she won the state's popular vote, a judge ruled Tuesday, effectively stopping the state's electors from joining a longshot effort to unite with Republicans behind a compromise presidential candidate other than Donald Trump.

Denver Judge Elizabeth Starrs also ruled that any electors who fail to do so can immediately be replaced when the Electoral College convenes Dec. 19. She responded to a request from Colorado's secretary of state, who was seeking a way to prevent electors from diverging from the winner of the state's popular vote.

Electors Polly Baca and Robert Nemanich had sued to overturn a state law requiring them to vote for Clinton, but a federal judge refused to do so Monday.

There are similar lawsuits in California and Washington state seeking to overturn laws binding electors. A total of 28 other states have laws binding their electors to the winner of the popular vote.

What a freak show.

So, you want a soviet dictator choosing our president according to 17 government agencies.

The motivation of, maybe the Russians, maybe whomever, was to create the spectacular freak show we are now witnessing.

Are you OK with that?

I was a professional hacker for 26 years Ron. It was not the Russians. Russia, China and whomever else got what they wanted from clintonemail.com and that was that for them. All they wanted was state secrets. Someone American was incensed at Hillary's gross negligence and decided to make her pay. I'm just dandy with that.

So, you want a soviet dictator choosing our president according to 17 government agencies, thousands men and women who sacrifice their lives daily for this country, say that it was The Russians who hacked both the GOP and DEMS in late breaking reports but only made public e-mails from the DEMS to influence the out come of this election.

I say good for that judges orders the Colorado electors to vote for Hillary Clinton.

Don't you understand why they say they won't vote for Hillary?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, December 16th 2016 at 7:52AM

The Colorado electors could face up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine if they defy the law and vote for someone other than Clinton.

We will see...
