The issue of “faithless electors,” those who choose to vote in the Electoral College for someone other than the person to whom they are pledged as a result of the people’s vote, has surfaced again. This has been prompted largely by Hillary’s victory in the nationwide popular vote while losing the Electoral College, which actually elects the president, to Donald Trump.
There’s even one elector in Colorado who is attempting to launch a drive to deny Trump his victory.
It’s probably also being pursued as a reaction on the part of the more radical elements of the Democratic party to the devastating loss Hillary suffered at the polls. They cannot accept the result, so they behave in stupid, disruptive ways. At least this bunch isn’t rioting.

Another blind sore assed libtard
Electors are given too much power to be able to over ride the ppl choice of their state. It’s going to get nasty if these electors change votes they better watch their backs. Ppl are angry and fed up. It’s really a shame
Um sorry, no libtard. Look it up. This is a b******t story. Clinton won Colorado. How can Trumps electoral votes in Colorado be doing this, when he didn’t win any there? Clinton didn’t win many states, but she won that liberal state.
Don’t they know that every vote is made public? There is no sneaking around being a faithless elector.
Guess who is going to jail or worse
Hope you are right!!
They are only fined a small amount (which I’m sure the dems will gladly pay) but their vote will still count.
Buyers remorse!
Buyers remorse, WTF
Meaning having second thoughts! WTF real classy!
