Popular vote, in blue, wins!
The state House passed the National Popular Vote bill today and now it’s on the way to Gov. Polis for his signature.
As we reported earlier, not a single Republican voted in favor of the bill for obvious reasons — it would award all of our votes to whichever presidential candidate won the national popular vote, whether they actually won Colorado or not.
Because of the intense, widespread interest on this particular issue, we thought it our civic duty to print the names of all the House Democrats who voted in favor of the bill.
If you would like to express your opinion to the governor before he signs away our vote, you can share your comments on the official state website here.
Also, comments can be left on Polis’s Facebook page here.
If you don’t know who your state representative is, you can find that information here.
