The purpose of all this is to make sure that the illegals and felons can swing the election.
This nullifies the votes of the citizens of the state...
if the voters there don’t object to this then they get what they deserve.
This is how “town” or “school” bullies operate. They know that the only way you can really stop them is to ramp it up and kill them. And since everyone is civilized, nobody will do that, so they have free reign.
This will get worse and worse until we end up, quite literally, like Venezuela or Nazi Germany. It is inevitable unless the civilized perform a quite uncivilized act. And since it is nationwide, it would not be a single act.
But that will not happen, which makes me happy that I am old. I will probably not live to see this come to its inevitable full fruition.
It will ramp up significantly when Trump leaves office, no matter who replaces him. Be it 2021 or 2025.
The entire point of disabling the Electoral College is to allow vote fraud in California, Illinois, and New York to determine who will be the President of the United States. That would be a Democrat for the remaining life of the country.
The votes of felons, illegal immigrants, dead people, and imaginary people are essential to make this work.
I don’t understand the line about keeping illegals off the voter role. If I understood, the Colorado legislature opted to give 100% of their electoral votes to the winner of the general election. Which is basically how California with it’s unknown quantities of illegal voters votes.
If Colorado can exclude the Electoral College, then Colorado had damn well better keep convicted felons and undocumented migrants off the voter rolls.

Don’t accept this unconstitutional nullification of the electoral college. The electoral college and the composition of the electorate are unrelated issues.
There is now way the National Popular Vote compact is getting to 270 so it doesn’t matter
The issue that the Progressives don’t want to confront is the disenfranchisement of voters within their states. For example, if you are a Republican in New York, your vote really doesn’t count. Similarly, if you are a Democrat in Mississippi, your vote doesn’t contribute to any meaningful competition for state or national offices. By enacting this legislation, Colorado has effectively disenfranchised their own voters, as is their right.
I suggest that Maine and Nebraska have a better idea. Rather than throwing out the Electoral College, the individual states should make it more robust. Each state can internally reorganize their voting so that electoral votes are distributed according to the Congressional District within which the voting occurs. The winner of the majority of state districts could then claim the two Senatorial Electoral College votes, or split them if the vote is within a certain margin. Theoretically, this makes the Republicans’ votes in upstate New York valuable again. Similarly the Democrat votes in south Texas. Furthermore, it would require candidates for national office to campaign very differently, focusing their efforts on individual “swing” districts rather than states. And a nice benefit is that no alteration to the Federal Constitution is required.
I await your thoughts.
The way it works is that each state party submits a slate of electors that they assemble and vet with the candidate. This approved slate is then what gets chosen if the candidate "wins" the election in the state. The candidate is not actually running, but his/her name is a proxy for the slate of electors.
The parties will still be assembling their respective slate of electors, but the chosen slate will not be the slate voted on by Colorado voters, it will be the slate chosen by New York and California voters.
The National Popular Vote movement is an interstate compact that will require the approval of Congress to proceed. It's unclear to me how that will play out.
Personally, if this is supposed to be such a great idea, I challenge the interested states to unilaterally start doing this now. There is no need to wait for a number of states totaling 270 Electoral College votes to sign onto this, and then pursue Congressional approval. Just do it on your own, if it's such a good idea, and role model this for the other states.
The fact that no state is willing to do this on its own without the cover of other states tells us all we need to know about it. No single state legislature wants to go on the record defying the will of its own voters in favor of the voters of other states.

A one sentence statement, no link to article(s) doesn’t say much about
the author with regards to explaining the assertion.
IF I lived in a state that made this ‘deal’, how close would the overall vote have to be before we need a total recount of the whole nation? What would ‘we’ do if there are 51 ballets in one precinct of Detroit but they reported 204 votes?
This could effect a national election, how is the nation to respond to a question of the legality of the overall voting?
Colorado - another Schithole State.
