Colorado's Micheal Baca had a far-fetched plan to stop President Trump. Now it's before the Supreme Court.
Clinton won Colorado's popular vote over Trump, 48 percent to 43 percent, with a margin of over 135,000 votes.
He said the decision to betray the voters' will was part of a broader effort that he dubbed the"Hamilton Electors movement." Baca, in the weeks before the December 2016 Electoral College elections , had gotten in touch with dozens of other electors, hoping to find at least 37 Republicans willing to cast their ballots for someone other than Trump.
Had he been able to, he said, both Trump and Clinton would have been short of 270. In that scenario, the House of Representatives would then have elected the president, choosing from the three candidates"I thought this plan would give Colorado voters a better deal," Baca said."They didn't want Trump. They wanted anybody but Trump. I thought that if it got kicked to the House and they picked a more moderate Republican, it would have been good for Colorado voters.
