 - "The election of the next president is not yet a done deal. Electors of conscience can still do the right thing for the good of the country. Presidential electors have the legal right and a constitutional duty to vote their conscience. I believe electors should unify behind a Republican alternative, an honorable and qualified man or woman such as Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. I pray my fellow electors will do their job and join with me in discovering who that person should be."

 - California Hillary Elector Files Suit to Stop Donald Trump (http://www.breitbart.com/california/2016/12/11/california-hillary-elector-files-suit-stop-donald-trump/)
 - A member of the Electoral College representing California filed a lawsuit on Friday against state officials, seeking to overturn a state law requiring all 55 electors from the state to support the winner of the statewide vote.
 - The plaintiff is Vinzenz J. Koller, chair of the Monterey County Democratic Party, Politico notes. Though theoretically Koller would like to see Hillary Clinton win the presidency, his lawsuit seeks relief from having to vote for her in the Electoral College on December 19.
 - The hope is to overturn similar laws in other states, in order to free enough reluctant Donald Trump electors to deny the Republican nominee the presidency.

 -  1. What does California need to do to address the current budget crisis? Look to other sources of revenue, like a business would. Impose an extraction fee for oil (California is the only state without one). Step up collections on undeclared income, unpaid fees, and other revenue losses to the state.

16. Andres Ramos (CA)
 - Male Hispanic democratic elector
 - http://www.uchastings.edu/news/articles/2016/12/2l-andres-ramos-law-school-to-electoral-college.php
 - So how did a law student get tapped by a congressional nominee to become an elector? He called her and asked. “I’m from Elk Grove, not from Wendy’s district, but we got to know each other through our mutual support of Bernie Sanders during the primaries. I thought she might be interested in nominating a fellow Bernie supporter.”
 - Andres’ participation in the primaries this year was not his first time volunteering in support of the Democratic Party. Politics first piqued his interest back in 2008 during the presidential primary race between then-Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. “I was intrigued by watching the process. It was the end of the Bush years, the economy was tanking, we were at war, and it was inspiring to see two candidates providing a message of hope, and preparing to move the country in a different direction.”

 - SANTA ANA, CA— Capping off a banner week for his campaign to represent California’s 46th Congressional District, today former State Senator Lou Correa was endorsed by Gregory Willenborg, a 10-year long Orange County-based representative for Equality California (EQCA)*, the state’s premier LGBT rights organization. (http://ocpoliticsblog.com/category/lgbt/)
  - It was a pleasure to speak to you on the historic day when the Supreme Court gave all Americans full and equal right on marriage. On June 26th, when I called you to thank you for all you did over 16 years to make this day possible, I was in New York City standing in Front of the Stonewall Bar. I wanted to be in NYC when the Supreme Court decided this milestone. At that bar on June 28, 1969, almost 46 years to the day, courageous gay men and women decided enough-is-enough and fought back when police raided, yet again, this bar to arrest and harass LGBT people just for being gay. That day ordinary people decided it had to stop and a movement was founded… From that day LGBT citizens and many of our strongest straight allies, including you, have moved our country and its attitude to bring a day of full equality…

21. Jerad Sutton (CO)

 - Jerad Sutton, an elector who is not one of the plaintiffs but also wants to vote for someone other than Clinton if it will block a Trump presidency, said he was disappointed with Monday’s result. “If people vote for president, Hillary Clinton would be president,” Sutton said, noting the Democrat won the popular vote. “If you believe this Electoral College exists, those are the people who choose the president.”

22. Robert Nemenich (CO)
 - Male democratic elector
 - “Plaintiffs are entitled to exercise their judgment and free will to vote for whomever they believe to be the most qualified and fit for the offices of President and Vice President, whether those candidates are Democrats, Republicans, or from a third party,” they argue in a brief signed by Denver attorney Jason Wesoky.
 - In their brief, Baca and Nemanich say Colorado’s statute violates multiple constitutional principles. The most basic is the Founders’ conception of the Electoral College itself, contained in Article II. Citing Alexander Hamilton’s original description of the Electoral College, they note that the Founders intended it to act as a check on the popular will, to ensure the election of a qualified candidate. In fact, for the first century of America’s existence, most states didn’t hold popular elections for president, and states simply appointed electors.
 - “It’s difficult to imagine a more impermissible law than one that requires someone to vote for a specific candidate. The concept is antithetical to the notion of democracy, free speech, and the Electoral College,” they write.
 - http://www.kktv.com/content/news/Colorado-electors-sue-to-overturn-state-law-405357575.html
 - "The lawsuit specifically seeks an injunctive relief on state law, which binds the electors, the presidential electors, to voting the popular vote," Colorado national elector Robert Nemanich. Nemanich, who lives in Colorado Springs, says it goes against the U.S. Constitution.
 - "The national electors were always meant to be free agents in the Constitution. The Constitution, Article 2, the 12th Amendment, specifically outlines what the responsibilities are, and [electors] are supposed to vote as they see fit."
 - Nemanich, a Democrat, says this is not an attempt at making Hillary Clinton president. The issue, he told 11 News reporter Katie Pelton, is Donald Trump's fitness to serve.
 - "This year is exceptional. So why this year, what are we doing, what's going on? ... [The electors] have come to the conclusion that Donald Trump is unfit for the presidency. Period.
 - "We want to injunct [the state of Colorado], we want to find them unconstitutional so that the electors know that they can fully, without risk of penalty, vote their conscious."
 - Their end game is to elect a different Republican as president.
 - "Our aim is that we are seeking to find an alternative candidate, most likely a Republican, where a minimum of 38 national electors who are Republican join with 232 Democrats and we elect them as the president. And our real aim is to try to find a Democrat for vice president and put forward a bipartisan administration," Nemanich explained."
