John -- with the recent passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and her replacement likely confirmed before Election Day, we will soon see a shocking reality: Presidents who lost the popular vote will have appointed a majority of Supreme Court justices.
George W. Bush appointed two justices and Donald Trump reportedly has the votes in the Senate to appoint his third. Our democracy is in trouble when leaders elected by a minority of voters can determine the future of issues that affect all Americans.
The current way we elect our President disenfranchises millions of voters and warps our political system.
FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver projects that Joe Biden needs to win the popular vote nationally by more than 5 million votes to have even a 50-50 chance of winning the Electoral College. There is a good possibility the presidential candidate who earns the most popular votes will actually lose the election (again).
It doesn’t have to be this way. The National Popular Vote will make sure the presidential candidate who earns the most popular votes throughout the country actually wins the election. And candidates will have to earn votes from everyone, instead of focusing on a handful of competitive “swing” states.
People are fed up. They are tired of not being heard. If you’re asking, “what can I do to make a difference?” Make sure Coloradans vote YES on Proposition 113, the National Popular Vote, this fall.
Approval of Proposition 113 will keep Colorado as one of 15 states plus Washington D.C. in the National Popular Vote agreement. It will take effect once enough states with 270 electoral votes come on board. Already 2/3 of the necessary states have signed on, but dark money opponents are working hard to make sure that stops with Colorado.
