Can they do this?
The Colorado senate may as well hold their breath underwater for sixty ninety years, they can’t change the American Constifution. Their ignorance is exceeded only by their arrogance
Smokin too much weed.
Fascinating.
I expect the “feudal” lib justices to have the most trouble with this as it dilutes minorites’ votes.
Just fascinating!
If Trump wins the popular vote in 2020, all the liberal States he lost who pass this thing will have to award him their Electoral College votes after all.
His 2020 win will be ‘Yuge !
MAGA ! Go Trump !
Under this scheme it’s possible for Colorado to award its electoral votes to a candidate who did not win a majority in their state.
Being a not especially large state as far as population, this is really allowing the rest of the country to dictate whether voters in Colorado are disenfranchised or if their votes count. They’re awfully confident that Democrats will always win this fictional “popular vote” and there likely will come a day when they won’t. As bizarre as things have been since 2016 I suspect this will occur in short order, 2020.
They should just go ahead and pass a bill to award Colorado electoral votes to the Democratic party candidate for all future presidential elections, and save the expense and bother of actually holding a vote. Then they can all congratulate each other on their model ‘democracy’.
The bill only takes effect when states with a combined total of 270 EVs have passed it. Right now they’re at 172. Colorado would push it to 181.
So, essentially CO is surrendering to the behemoth California, which will, by its illegal practices, ensure the dems always come out ahead in the “popular vote.” It no longer wants to have an impact.
Dope smokers on the road to one man, one vote, one time
They should just rename the state as Colofornia
They just disenfranchised every citizen whose vote is lost to massive democrat fraud in the ssnctuary cities of illegals on the east and west coasts
They threw away the precious rights and protections of a Republic to mob rule aka “ democracy”
Popular Vote is Racist.
Democrats are racist.
So under this new and improved system would Colorado have voted for Maduro or Guaidó?
The Electoral College proved its worth by preventing California and New York from stealing the election with illegal votes.
This will bite them in the butt. When it does they’ll do a 180
Why do suburban and the rural countryside people allow their State “Capitol” to always reside in the most populist big city, instead of where they live??
Because CoC Republicans are pussies and surrender losers.
We vote Republican, but know they are losers.
The appointment of Electors for President and Vice President is an absolute prerogative of the fifty State Legislatures (plus the 3 DC Electors, which the States unwisely awarded to Congress in 1960).
Voting by individuals is not mentioned in the Constitution. It just so happens that all 50 State Legislatures have chosen idiots voting as their method of appointing Electors, but it is not required. If the Colorado Legislature, for example, wanted to choose its Electors by flipping a coin, they would be just as validly appointed as if the voters of Colorado chose them.
So, there is no such thing as a “national popular vote”, No one tallies such a vote, it’s not subject to validation, or to recount, and there is no authority who can certify it.
What Colorado has done is to appoint it’s electors however California, New York, and Illinois do it in any given year.

The popular vote in their state or national... it seems to me that this law takes away a persons vote... what judge would allow this.
