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
Unfortunately each state decides how their electoral votes are delegated. If they decided to toss a coin, it would be legal.
In my opinion none of this is in accordance with the Founding Fathers intent. whether by this method or winner take all on the state level.
An electoral votes intent is the vote of citizens in a Congressional District. That’s the reason that each Congressional District is allocated one vote in the Electoral College.
Once statewide winner take all systems were employed, political parties could use massive rallies, get out the vote drives, chicanery, and intimidation to win all Electoral Votes for their candidate. Rural Congressional Districts votes didn’t matter.
If Electoral Votes were allocated by the vote in each Congressional District, it wouldn’t matter whether 90 percent of voters in a Congressional District voted, or 10 percent. The electoral ballot would reflect the wishes of the citizen within a Congressional District, no matter how many were able to get to the polls. Hurricanes, earthquakes, and national disasters would not have an effect in the outcome.
Last of all all, political parties could not use voter fraud, vote harvesting, fraudulent absentee ballots, and intimidation to take a statewide vote and wipe out the wishes of the other Congressional Districts.
Actually elections for President, Senate, and House need to be federalized, and held on a separate date from state and local elections. Only those register with proof of citizenship, and holding a government issued photo ID should be allowed to vote.
Applications for absentee ballots should include proof of identity, a valid reason the voter cannot vote in person on election day, and a signed declaration that the voter is not registered to vote outside of the Congressional District in which he or she is voting (if a false declaration is given the offence should be punishable by a minimum of one year in federal prison, and the loss of voting rights for a minimum of ten years).
‘The Colorado senate may as well hold their breath underwater for sixty ninety years, they can’t change the American Constifution.’
think so...? just 89 more EV’s, and this will become the law of the land, unless SCOTUS scuttles it, which it will not...
