This was the other option Democrats were trying to deny Trump that has now failed. Because this issue has not been litigated before, this gives some precedent for Colorado and elsewhere going forward.

Longshot plans in Colorado and elsewhere to deny Donald Trump the presidency through the Electoral College were dealt a severe setback on Monday after a federal judge refused to suspend a law requiring electors to vote for the presidential candidate who won the state in November.
U.S. District Judge Wiley Daniel denied a request by two Colorado electors who contended that the law binding their vote to Colorado vote winner Hillary Clinton violated their First Amendment rights and the intents of the Constitution’s framers, reported The Associated Press. The electors had sought the right to vote for someone other than Clinton in order to unite behind a consensus Republican other than Trump when the Electoral College convenes on Dec. 19.
Daniel found that suspending the Colorado requirement would have harmed the state’s voters and jeopardized a peaceful presidential transition. “Part of me thinks this is really a political stunt to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president,” said Daniel, who was nominated to the bench by Bill Clinton in 1995.
