Democrats in leftist state adopt bypass of Electoral College, but promptly get bit

Actually, scheme not yet in operation because too little interest

Far-left Democrats in control in the state of Colorado have adopted a new law that would give all the state's Electoral College votes to the winner of the national popular vote in a presidential election.

Little did they know that their scheme would call for the state's ballots be given to President Donald Trump.

Actually, their planning had no impact on the election, not even in the state, because the plan has had too little nationwide interest yet.

But in its outline, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which the state joined with more than a dozen other jurisdictions, the state's power always would have to go to the winner of that national popular vote.

In recent years, that's over and over been a Democrat.

But not this year, when Trump won some 72 million votes to Kamala Harris' 67 million.

The overall idea is to concentrate president-electing power in the hands of the few most populous states. The compact concept would eliminate the need for voting in Wyoming, Hawaii, Alaska and dozens more states, leaving the president picking power in the hands of the most populated handful of states.

Trump would have collected virtually all the blue state Electoral College votes if this plan was in place, with a massive 500 vote total.

Any State agreeing to this should have their number of representatives reduced accordingly.  When a State allows citizens from other States to select their electors, then they are denying that right to their own citizens.  According to the 14th Amendment, their representation should be reduced to a single Rep.  How nice it would be to see California fall from 54 electoral votes to only 3.  I encourage Colorado, California, and all the other leftist idiot States that signed onto this to proceed forward as quickly as possible.
