Morphine Prince 109,645 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Colorado now joins 11 other states and the District of Columbia as part of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. “It is important to understand that the National Popular Vote bill significantly amplifies Colorado's voice in choosing the president of the United States,” John Koza, chairman of National Popular Vote, said in a press release. The joint agreement only goes into effect if enough states sign on to total the number needed to win the presidency — 270 electoral votes. The addition of Colorado’s nine electoral votes brings the total to 181. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagz4Gaga 7,278 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I am not 100% knowledgeable about US laws so correct me if I’m wrong but ain’t the Electoral College part of the Constitution? If so, the Supreme Court will just junk this bill by a governor. nostalgia’s for geeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,645 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 This agreement between the states ONLY goes into effect if enough states with a total of 270 EC votes agree to it. 15 states are currently pending legislation on this. This could be a reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided by popular vote. Gerrymandering isn’t really an issue with the presidential election. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think it is stupid. I've heard people complaining against having a traditional system on the basis that "it would be opressing the minorities" well bitch wtf, that's exactly what democracy is (sans the "oppresion", it's just who's more popular amongst the voters). The rule of the majority's will. If you follow the people's will, there's no way the minority can rule, because the minority are in favor of a system that the majority doesn't agree with. That's democracy, and the EC ain't it. Former First Lady of the United States. Now card-carrying member of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
