Colorado Senate Passes Bill Nixing Electoral College in Favor of Popular Vote

I doubt their law is legal. The EC in nationwide and if I'm not mistaken part of the Constitution.

EC is the only way to go.

The states can assign their EC votes as they wish. I do not like this methods, seems to ignore the will of the voters in the state.

The best solution is to assign them proportionally along the voting results...winner takes all is the worst way.

The Constitution assures that each state with have a "Republican form of government".

My question is if basically removing the will of Colorado's voters by a majority in a Presidential election and replacing it with the will of voters OUTSIDE the State of Colorado meets that requirement.
 
They're going for the gold.

Democrats have started dropping their marbles.

Now we have the Colorado Senate passing a bill to direct their Electoral College delegates to vote for the winner of the National popular vote in Presidential elections !!!!!

It's all part of the efforts called "National Popular Vote Interstate Compact" and it's blasting off like a rocket.

Probably Uncnstitutional but they'll do it anyway and wait for the SCOTUS to decide as they continue the anti-American onslaught of corrupt BS.

Democrats definitely have some screws coming loose as the mental cases mount up in popularity

It's not unconstitutional. The states can award their electoral votes any way they see fit.

once they all decide by majority to do the same way. nope. the electoral college is federal and as such the states must decide by majority to change it.

They can, but how does basically removing the votes cast by the people of Colorado and saying the votes of people OUTSIDE the State are the true arbiter of EC allocation not violate Article 4's requirement of a republican form of government, and the concept of equal protection and "one person one vote" that the courts have found via the 14th amendment?

Colorado doesn't have to let the people vote at all if they don't want them to. They could decide the legislature will choose the electors.

nope, incorrect again. It is a federal contest as such they belong to the federal agreements reached by the states unless they decide to secede and then they can do that, but they must first secede from the union.

But there is still a flow from the people IN the State of Colorado using that process. By giving the EC vote to the national popular vote, you are effectively disenfranchising the voters of Colorado if they vote as a majority for the "Loser" of the national popular vote.
 
Of course it is deluded DemonRATS that passed an unconstitutional law....when in power PUSH your socialist/communist ideas....some actually stick!

Colorado Senate Passes Bill Nixing Electoral College in Favor of Popular Vote

The Democratic-majority Colorado state Senate passed a bill this week that would give the state’s electoral votes in presidential elections to the candidate who wins the popular vote instead of the Electoral College.
Colorado’s Senate passed the bill in a 19-16 vote Tuesday along party lines.

The bill would mandate that the state’s members of the Electoral College vote for the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote.

You right wing nutjobs can't even report the truth. It's been the law for a number of years. For a number of years, the Electoral College must vote the way the popular vote goes. It was contested and reintroduced and revoted on once again and the law held. And, rummy, it's constitutional in Colorado as well as any number of other states. If you are going to report it, how about reporting it the right way instead of just out and out lying about it. Who knows, you may even get more people to agree with you instead of just seeing you for the liar you really are.
You're the lier dude.
You guys always due the head fake before your hidden agenda
 
A pure popular vote is nothing more than mob rule....
The only reason you aren't for it is your mob is smaller.
You don’t understand the electoral college and its value
It has no value in this day and age. It only serves to circumvent the will of the people.

yet...if the major cities on the coast-line happen to be Republican majority... you would be saying the opposite.
And every single person reading this knows this is true, PERIOD

A system that gives three times the voting power to a person in one state over another is undemocratic.

If you desire to live in a democracy you should move to another country.

No, I am not incorrect. It is up to the states to determine how to award their individual electors. I'm not arguing with you about it any further. If you want to wallow in your own ignorance be my guest.

I completely agree, but that doesn't make it unconstitutional

I bet the supreme court would say differently. A state, as part of the union, can't make it's own federal policy. just can't. See that's called a governor, and that is a state position, a president is not it is federal and as such falls outside any jurisidiction by the state. now you can rant all day on what you perceive the college to be, but it was established by policy by a majority of states.

It violates equal protection, AND article 4. How does that make it constitutional?

EC is the only way to go.
States may allocate their EVs in any way they choose. See Nebraska and Maine
 
Of course it is deluded DemonRATS that passed an unconstitutional law....when in power PUSH your socialist/communist ideas....some actually stick!

What's unConstitutional about it? I've looked at Article II, Section 1 and it leaves it to the states how to determine who their Electors vote for.
 
The electoral college was a concession to the slave states worried that their low white population would make them irrelevant. Now that the slave states have begrudgingly given black people the vote it's high time we ask ourselves what purpose the electoral college still serves.


Now you got the Black Caucus in Congress to keep y’all on the plantation.
Poor victimized white males.

Not all states have the same requirements.....after this last election, and the refusal of the Congress to take up this matter it would BEHOOVE someone to bring it to SCOTUS to see what they would rule if at all from another bunch of UNELECTED people.....after all FEDERAL LAW always dictates to state law!
