Gov. Jared Polis signed a law Friday that would allot the state's electoral college votes to whichever candidate won the national popular vote. The Washington Post previously reported the law's signing.The trend comes as Americans have shown greater support in recent years for a more democratic presidential election process, without the translational risks of the electoral college.
Most states have winner-take-all laws in place dictating that their electors go towards whichever candidate takes the state's popular majority, while Maine and Nebraska opt to proportionally split their electors based on the vote.
Let’s by pass the Constitution.
Another attempt to overthrow our Country. Liberals truly are destroying our Country.
MalcolmNance Until red states do it too this is dangerous for Dems
This is insane! Voter suppression is never a good idea.
MalcolmNance So far, that sounds very closed to trying to make a 'Peanut Butter' Sandwich without using any Bread!! States should only be making changes that they have thoroughly researched beforehand, before eluding to get their Constituents hopes up...
MalcolmNance Abolish the electoral college and replace with Rank Choice Voting.

MalcolmNance Fantastic. My state is adopting this as well. Will of the people. 🇺🇸😁👍
MalcolmNance What’s the catch?
MalcolmNance States are coming up with creative ways to thwart Russia from interfering in the USA 🇺🇸 Elections in 2020! You’re gonna have to win this election fair & square!
MalcolmNance That completely defeats the purpose of the electoral college and is wrong. The votes should go to the Colorado popular vote and not the national. The college is meant to represent the voters of the state not the country

Does this remind anyone else of high school days when we voted for prom king & queen via popularity? What made them popular? Did they work with homeless? Did they volunteer in hospitals? We all know they didn't & we knew the 'nerds' who did. Kinda makes being popular moot huh?
But theres a catch. The Constitution.
Colorado must be under the influence!
Wow. Trying to get kids to vote at age 16, pulling in the illegals, trying to knock Fox off the air, trying to shut down the social media giants Trump used to win in 2016, now we're changing the constitution because they're still upset about Hilary. Calm down people.
In other words, each of these states are making the votes of their constituents irrelevant because the mobs in California and New York know best for the entire nation.
These states are silencing the will of the ppl. If every single person in each of those states vote for Trump, they will ignore the will of the ppl. It sounds like a Dictatorship is coming around. I beg every person to do ur own research .
Then there's no reason for anyone in Colorado to bother casting a vote for President.
So. What ever California votes is what the country does.. Hillary got the popular vote, just because of California..
If the left was wants a civil war just have the ⚽️s to say so and stop playing chicken shit 💩 games.
This is the stupidest thing States can do.
Now the illegals voting in California and Illinois make a difference
Communism !
The catch is that it's an attempt to repeal the Electoral College without a constitutional amendment. so has to be unconstitutional.
Be careful what you wish for in changing the rules
It should be the popular vote anyway
Just like a Democrat. Change the rules to win. Only way to win apparently. When will y’all learn.? Just knew she had it in the bag. Forgot one thing the electorate
See if Hillary one they wouldn’t be talking about this
You can’t change the 12 th amendment
In the outcry of election meddling, we’re now ok with legislating it so by legally swinging votes to the populist majority Kinda goes against the whole anti-populist whining against the current administration but whatever Enjoy the death of our representative democratic republics
I'm sorry, that governor cant do that. Violation of the constitution. There has to be checks and balances.
If the world voted that way the USA would have no say in what the world does . Would that be fair?
Good thing the world doesn’t vote that way .china and India would be in complete control.
So citizens vote dont mean crap? Yet these electoral vote is what matters? Why bother voting lmao
Tonight, on the Wheel of Fiction...
I wonder what the Supreme Court would think about this.
Everyone one of those states a run by Democrats, why am I not Surprised
The winner of the national vote should be potus, period! It is LONG past time fo do away with the electoral college! If a Repub had lost an election after winning the national vote this would’ve been abolished years ago! It’s happened to Dems twice now in recent history! End it
This may be unConstitutional. It is a back door attempt to do away with electoral college.
This is not what the founding fathers wanted. Shameful!
So, no matter who ya vote for, the state can change your vote, huh ? No f×cking way that'll pass in South Carolina. We aint stoned like Colorado...
Until the electoral votes don’t align with a Democrat winning.
Electoral college is unpopular because of ignorant teachers teaching that the US is a democracy
Ok GOP let’s get the lawsuit going all the way to the Supreme Court don’t let the leftists cheat and try and take away America’s vote, California New York, and a few other leftists states do not get to decide the presidency
Blue and liberal states of course.
Dumb move
A new Colorado law will give the state's electoral college votes to the national popular vote winner in the next presidential eating contest — but there's a catch
So illegals will control the country's elections from now on no wonder the dem want to flood the border
FORATOFFOLI
But the Constitution over rules doesn’t it
That's messed up Colorado!
is this what liberals are doing now.. when you don't win just change the rules a little to help you win..lol
Because they lost they want to mess with how elections work. Dumbies.
If you cant win,change the rules. How American. I'm already not accepting the next dem President after what they've done to Trump. Peaceful transfer of power unless I lose.
That’s wrong.
If they are allowed to cook the books. only a few states will have have control. and you know Cal, they will say do as your told and shut up about
The catch? Regardless of the voters will, Colorado is now subservient to San Francisco, New York, and Chicago. Sounds like a great plan... 🙄
Glad for our Republic but States can still take their citizens rights away, CO just did.
Why is no one talking about the fact that the voters of Colorado did not have a say in this? Nor the other bills that the dem ran states Senate are on the verge of passing? Like the oil and gas bill that was voted down on the last ballot. It's a dictatorship.
How is this getting support? I'd be pissed if my state reps pushed this. Imagine your state votes 60% for a candidate and then your state's votes go to the other guy cause he won the meaningless national popular vote. What a joke.
Hate my state ... most people live in fkn Denver ... most of the people that receive benefits are there as well Polis is a crap bag
I assume the 'catch' is that it's unconstitutional?
This legislation was written by the Sixteen Thirty Fund ( dark money) read up on them. Goal is to pick away at our Constitutional rights on a state level. They could care less about fair elections. They helped fund the campaign of their puppet Polis.
If Democrats said they have good policies then why are they afraid of electoral college vote because anyone with good policies will win the heart of the people but because they know that their policies are bad they are finding ways and means to win presidential election
Best hungry man fight with women 🚺 at Macdonald 😂 😂 😂 😂
The media's coup rolls on.
Democrats are afraid that they can't win electoral vote so they are changing the law to suit them but let me remind Democrats that what ever you do if the Lord said is trump who will be president there is nothing you Democrats can do to stop it
What?
The catch is, It's unconstitutional and won't be recognized. KAG
which lunatic said that the founding fathers were 100% perfect ? ▪ and if they are not 100% perfect then that means the electoral college is not perfect either ▪ nuff said ▪
this means all they will be doing is screaming white suprmacy homopho islamaphop etc etc etc. hell its like cooking the books. and if they do that its time to pull the guns out
Yep as the sooner the Dems can flood the country w/ people who will vote for whomever gives them the most free shit, the sooner we can get this country to it's endgame collapse. Been a good ride but every empire ends eventually,.
Criminal
Oh good! Sounds even more convoluted!!
Just like they want 16 yr olds and illegal aliens to vote. Trying to stack the deck Dems?
real news channel. OAN
The catch is they don’t have the authority to do that and it’s not going to happen. GTFO snowflakes
So that means California, New York, Illinois, Florida will decide who the next President is
This is dumb.
It's controversial
