That's fair. It's just amazing that there's options to protect the country in place but there's fear of using them because someone else will abuse them in retaliation.
Ideally a SCOTUS ruling would make it clearer on how the amendment would actually be used, but I'll bet they won't even do that much.
Not that it matters much, Trump doesn't need Colorado's electors, and I doubt there's a state that would mirror this that take away EC votes from Trump.
