As our readers are well aware, the 2016 Presidential election did not go as planned for the leftist Democrats, media, and especially Hillary Clinton. The results have led to ad infinitum pearl-clutching about the Electoral College votes. The movement for abolishing the Electoral College has gained momentum, sadly. Which has led Colorado (who is now in the blue stupidity phase) to proffer a bill that would force all nine electoral votes to follow the national popular vote and dump our Constitution into the ditch.

Yes folks, you read that correctly. The Democrat idiots in the Colorado Legislature have decided that our Constitution can go pound sand. You see, we need to win by popular vote always!! Doesn’t matter that you were the last one to cross the finish line, the trophy means YOU WIN!!

Yes indeed, the Colorado legislature wants to be first in the nation for putting forth the ultimate participation trophy prize. The Presidency is all yours as long as you are the most popular on your block!

SIGN ME UP!! …. NOT

Yet folks, this is where we are. Exhibit A:

A bill championed by Sen. Mike Foote, D-Lafayette, is the most accessed bill on the Colorado legislature’s website and could eventually change how the United States chooses its president. “The bottom line is that every Coloradan should have their voice heard,” said Foote. Senate Bill 19-042 , if passed, would make Colorado the 13th state to join what’s known as the National Popular Vote interstate compact.

Oh how CUTE! How absolutely wonderful of you that we can all vote for the candidate of our choice….and then have someone we DIDN’T vote for become the winner because ‘popular vote’ trumps all!

Folks, we have an Electoral College for a reason. The more population in a state, the greater the chance that a Presidential candidate can win that state. The less populated states can’t win against the big guys …except for the electoral college.

Guess what? New York went for Hillary. So did Colorado. So therefore it went that the electoral votes cast went to Hillary. But a LOT of other less populated states had their votes go for Trump, which meant that electoral votes go for Trump. That is plainly outlined in our Constitution.

Yet now, Colorado wants to be the big guy on campus and LEAD THE CHARGE in changing up this Republic and subverting our Constitution. Evidently the folks currently in the CO Legislature bought into the election night tears and want to soothe the media’s pain.

Yes indeed, even we here at Victory Girls didn’t see Trump’s win as certain. However, that doesn’t mean that Colorado or ANYONE ELSE should go forth and attempt to right a perceived wrong because ‘TRUMP!”

So now New York and California will decide Colorado’s electoral vote?? Maybe we should decide ourselves. This seems unconstitutional. — HelgaOlganson (@HOlganson) January 24, 2019

Quite honestly, I myself believe that this subtle rigging of our votes in order to ensure the favored one wins is definitely antithetical of all that we as a Republic stands for.

The bill itself is SB 19-042. Here’s the thing, it supersedes Colorado’s state rights.

The bill specifies that when the agreement becomes effective, it supersedes any conflicting provisions of Colorado law. When the agreement becomes effective and governs the appointment of presidential electors, each presidential elector is required to vote for the presidential candidate and, by separate ballot, vice-presidential candidate nominated by the political party or political organization that nominated the presidential elector.

In other words, during a national election, if this passes, Colorado’s state rights don’t matter at all.

This is not right for our Republic. Our founders put in place the structures regarding our national elections and the Electoral College for a reason.

Just because Trump won and your favorite candidate didn’t is not a reason for throwing our Republic into the ditch in favor of participation trophies.
