On July 18, a U.S. District Court in Colorado permitted Polly Baca and Robert Nemanich to file an amended complaint in their lawsuit against the Colorado Secretary of State, who wouldn’t let several Democratic presidential electors remain in office if they tried to vote for someone other than Hillary Clinton. Here is their amended complaint, which was filed as soon as permission was given, on July 18. The case is Baca v Hickenlooper, 1:16cv-2986.
The amended complaint says the plaintiffs intend to try to become presidential electors again in 2020.
If the moron courts say that Prez elector hacks have *free will* (i.e. are not robot agents of the SOVEREIGN Voters who put them in office (for a few minutes)), then one more step to Civil WAR II.
Uniform definition of Elector-voter in ALL of the USA —-
NONPARTISAN App.V. for all elected executive offices and all judges.
I would expect if the electors win their cases in Colorado, California, and Minnesota, that will persuade the nation to revise the constitution relating to the electoral college.
Presidential electors are not the same a electors as used elsewhere in statute.
Baca and Nemanich committed fraud by representing to the Democratic Party, and the voters of Colorado that they would vote for Clinton and Kaine if they were elected.
Their true complaint should be that they were not permitted to run as individual candidates for presidential elector.
When did Baca and Nemanich do that? What is your reference?
Both Baca and Nemanich stated in their affidavits for the current litigation that:
“4. At the state convention on April 16, 2016, I became a presidential elector for the Colorado Democratic Party.”
“5. Upon becoming an elector, I was required to and did execute a pledge to vote for the Democratic Party’s nominees for President and Vice-President.”
They are of course mistaken that they were electors at that time, but rather merely nominees.
If Baca and Nemanich had said in April that they might vote for Bernie Sanders or John Kasich, they would not have been chosen. Had the voters in November believed that they might for John Kasich, they would have been less likely to vote for “Clinton”.
What Baca and Nemanich hoped would happen is what almost in 1801, when there was a conspiracy to elect Aaron Burr president. Whether Baca and Nemanich are active conspirators or merely guileless dupes is unknown.
What is ironic that they claim to be Hamiltonian electors, when they are actually more aligned with Aaron Burr who killed Alexander Hamilton.
Hamilton by the end of his life had become an advocate for direct election of electors from single member districts.
If they are sincere in their desire to be a presidential elector in 2020, they should not seek court action to allow them to be sleeper agents, but seek a change in election law to permit them to run as individuals.
The only conspiracy in the presidential election was Hamilton’s conspiracy to have Charles C. Pinckney become president. See “A Magnificent Catastrophe” by Edward J. Larson, published 2007.
