An interesting read: I am one of those 538 National Elector's and yes the Electoral College is in p

I am one of the Electoral College Electors from Colorado. This is by virtue of Hillary Clinton prevailing in Colorado (moving me from a nominated certified Elector to “actual” Elector). Late last week I canvassed half my fellow CO Electors beginning with Micheal Baca, who is mentioned here in the Denver Post article: Colorado presidential elector seeks to block Donald Trump from White House, also talked to numerous political reporters both print and national on line media, (AKA; John Frank the author of the above article and Kyle Cheney from Politico, author of this article, Here are the people who will cast the formal vote for president next month​, political science and presidential history university scholars, law school professors, political professionals, elected and government officials and I have come to this conclusion: INDEED THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS IN AN HISTORIC PLAY. Where this goes is speculation but sentiment is building that the Electors cannot sit by and be ceremonial.

and why it won't work.

2. Perhaps. It may not work...but on the other hand I think that we should try everything we can

And even if it's noise and it fails, we have to do what we can to push the envelope. Failure is NOT TRYING.

3. Amen sister... We all better scream as loud as we can as long as we are alive

4. It is noise

and it will fail, but by all means, have at it.

I prefer to look at what we can do to protect our Senators up for re-election in 2018, including voter registration drives, help with getting necessary documentation for registration, etc.

6. Perhaps, we need to walk and chew gum at the same time.

Cover every base, make sure our voices are heard in every way we can...all at the same time.

7. To each his own

I'm personally not going to waste time on something that can't happen

[cry baby]

8. I wish you well in what ever efforts you make!!

5. Maybe it is noise

I think we should do EVERYTHING possible, even the seemingly impossible. But yes, I don't think we should just focus on a pipe dream.

9. 4.5 million people have signed the change.org petition thus far

to urge electors to make Hillary Clinton the president on December 19. I don't know if that means a damned thing, but it can't hurt. Sosign it if you haven't already. Their goal, I believe, is 6 million.
