Colorado Poised to Hold Statewide Referendum on National Popular Vote

A group hoping to overturn the Colorado legislature's decision to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact says it has turned in 227,198 petition signatures Thursday in its attempt to force a statewide referendum vote in 2020.

Organizers for Coloradans Vote will need about 125,000 of those signatures to pass muster with the secretary of state's office to qualify for the ballot in November of next year.

"We are humbled by the remarkable support we have received from people across Colorado," said Mesa County Commissioner Rose Pugliese, one of the lead organizers. "Over 2,200 volunteers carried petitions to protect Colorado’s vote for President. This groundswell of grassroots support is not only remarkable—it's historic. No measure in Colorado's history has turned in as many signatures collected by volunteers as we did today."

That's fine. By not participating in the electoral college vote your votes won't be counted. This is the USA.

Legally can't 'hold'...

Let's rewind...if Russia supposedly interfered in our election system all this would potentially do is make it easier for them to get their way... Stupid Dems tricks are for kids.

But sanctuary states like California are going to allow illegals to vote in general elections. Unless there is an ID requirement the practice will be continued. The influx of illegals voting will give states like California, Colorado and others the power to independently decide elections.

Colorado is where Californians go to spend money.
