John,

We wanted you to be the first to know – Proposition 113, the National Popular Vote has won in Colorado!

With the vast majority of the votes in Colorado counted, giving us a substantial lead and with the composition of the outstanding votes, Proposition 113 has an insurmountable lead and will pass in Colorado.

This has been a long journey and we could not have done it without you. Expanding voting rights has always faced opposition from those who believe the current system benefits themselves, and the National Popular Vote was no exception. From the time the National Popular Vote bill was introduced in the Colorado legislature in January of 2019, through Governor Polis signing it in March of that year, and for the next 20 months, we overcame a loud and organized opposition that just does not believe every vote should be equal.

As we’ve said many times, the “National Popular Vote is indeed popular” and Coloradans proved it yesterday.

Coloradans get it. One person should equal one vote no matter where that person lives. Presidential candidates should care about voters in every state, not just battleground states. And the presidential candidate who gets the most votes should win the election without exception.

Colorado will remain part of the National Popular Vote agreement, which now has states with 196 electoral votes, two-thirds of the way to the necessary 270 electoral votes to take effect. The effort now moves to get even more states on board. We hope you will continue the National Popular Vote movement, but for now let’s take a moment to sit back and enjoy a well-fought victory!
