On December 4, Colorado filed this Reply brief in Colorado Dept. of State v Baca, 19-518. This is the case over whether presidential electors are free to vote for any qualified candidate when they cast a vote in the electoral college. It is somewhat odd that Colorado felt the need to file a reply brief, because both sides want the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. Since the whole purpose of the briefs at this state concern whether the Court should hear the case, one would think there is no need for a Reply brief.

But Colorado wanted to again say that the case should revolve on whether the Democratic “disobedient” electors who brought the case had standing.
