This is what happens when your voters are so high all the time that they have no clue how the government works. Toke on morons!

So there is really no need for Coloradoans to vote unless it’s to help democrats with the total overall vote. Colorado is gonzo.

Colorado is now quite blue.
Last Repub the state voted for was Bush in 2004.
State is much bluer now.

So is this moot?

So when Chelsea Clinton wins the most votes in Colorado, but Ivanka Trump wins the popular vote with strong turnout in Florida, the electors of Colorado will ignore the will of their voters and give Ivanka the necessary electoral votes to put her over the top.

Dumb unworkable plan, like most Dem brainstorms.

This will work until the votes have to go to a Republican.

Then it’ll get repealed.

Legalized cannabis is having its effect in Colorado, generating mass idiocy. I was in Denver recently and could not escape the nasty smell of pot wherever I went. Great state getting less so by the day

They’re too stupid to know they’re disenfranchising their own voters by doing this.

It’s unconstitutional.

...one persons take on how this unfolds, I see two points:

1. States like CA will be blue but we could write them off and still win due to the EC. The amount of voter fraud was irrelevant. Now we won’t win and we now care about all voter fraud. We will demand changes to guarantee integrity.

2. It leads to civil war.

#2 may happen even with #1 resulting in changes - because not good enough. No changes guarantee #2.

The left truly believe they can just keep pulling these kinds of moves and it will only ever remain in the sphere of politics. They don’t even consider there are people that understand what this country is about and that they’re destroying it. Once destroyed they’re going to do something about it.

Most if not all of these profound leftist laws just passed by the states are preemptive swings for the fences, in anticipation of a different court without Justice Ginsberg. They will be challenged and presented before a non-Ginsberg court.

Fine, then they don’t get to announce who Colorado is electing. You want to play, you play by the rules otherwise take you ball and go home.

On the surface this appears to be constitutional because each state is allowed to decide how it assigns its own electors.

However, it is Unconstitutional as it is in DIRECT violation of the Interstate Compact provision in Article 1 Section 10 of the Constitution: No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

Another Constitutional end run the Controlled Opposition Party [COP] will act helpless to thwart.

I would love to see everyone of these progressive carbon units tried and if found guilty of sedition, treason understand the folly of their stand.

Colorado diluted the power of their citizens votes from one out of 5m to one out of 60m.

Why vote? Colorado should just say the votes go to the Democrats.

It seems to me that the biggest problem with this idea
is that there is no “official” count of the popular vote.

Whose popular vote count will these states rely on?
CNN? The New York Times? The Associated Press?
