| The end of the republic? |
| 2019-02-01 |
| [InfoWars] Colorado’s Senate has passed a bill to have the state award its presidential electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. This would be the true death of the republic and would establish America as merely another Democracy where two wolves and a sheep vote on what’s for dinner. |

| #12 Ask and ye shall receive. Fox News looked into it and has more: The Democratic-controlled Colorado State Senate voted this week to join other blue states in a pact aimed at getting rid of the Electoral College system. The Senate on Monday approved a bill adding Colorado to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. That pact would change the way presidents are picked by allocating each state's electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote – regardless of how the state votes. In theory, the game-changing compact only takes effect once it signs on states representing at least 270 electoral votes, the threshold to win the presidency. With the addition of Connecticut's seven electoral votes last year, the group now has 172. Colorado would be the 13th jurisdiction to join the pact if the state’s House also passes it and the state's Democratic governor signs it into law. The uphill campaign, if ever brought to fruition, would almost certainly face a court challenge. |

| #10 Of course, one possibility is that Trump wins the popular vote. In which event we would have a federal judge saying that that Colorado bill is unconstitutional. |

| #9 Of course, one possibility is that Trump wins the popular vote. In which event we would have Warp-9 schadenfreude. |

| #7 Has this bill also passed in Colorado’s House? Will this be reversed if the national popular vote goes to Mr. Trump? Any chance a group of Colorado voters will sue in federal court over being dienfranchised, taking the the thing to the Supreme Court? So many possibilities! |

| #6 When the Senate of a state nullifies the votes of their entire electorate they need to be replaced by special election. |

| #5 Liberals like to use other people's money. Now they want to use other people's votes. I would imagine west slope Coloradins are getting sick of Denver and Co. |

| #4 This is the millennial answer. I want to be on the winning team so bad I give all my votes to it, and not I don't have to actually think about what is best for our nation, or even go vote... |

| #2 Decertify, disqualify their delegates to the Electoral College. Send them back to Colorado without letting them vote. |

| #1 They voted for the dissolution of the United States. The purpose of the Electoral College is to represent states, not the people. Their existence is redundant if they choose to be ruled by coasties, particularly those importing millions of illegals to vote. Once again, they show they have absolutely no use for the Constitution. It's merely an obstruction to their concentration and consolidation of power. |
