| 2019-09-01 |
| [KDVR] Voters in Colorado will do something next year that hasn’t been done in more than 100 years: Decide on repealing a law passed by the general assembly and signed by the governor The secretary of state’s office announced Thursday the repeal of the national popular vote law has made the November 2020 ballot after opponents of joining the national popular vote compact gathered enough valid signatures. The law changes how Colorado would vote for president, requiring electors to cast ballots for the winner of the national popular vote and not the winner of the state. The law only takes effect if enough states with at least 270 electoral votes join. Fifteen states and the District of Columbia have joined the compact for a total of 196 electoral votes. Colorado currently has nine electoral votes. |

| #4 ....More of a back hand attempt to install a one party system. Examine the luck it has brought California. The white privileged are leaving in droves, as planned. |

| #2 They would likely have retracted the law anyway after Trump wins the popular vote and they find that means CO votes go to Trump as well (or some similar unintended outcome). |

| #1 Federal Courts have already stepped in. ...the Denver appeals court asserted: "Article II and the Twelfth Amendment provide presidential electors the right to cast a vote for President and Vice President with discretion. And the state does not possess countervailing authority to remove an elector and to cancel his vote in response to the exercise of that Constitutional right." |
