    It won’t affect the election outcome, will it? Colorado seems to be almost guaranteed to elect a democrat and the votes in one state don’t affect the other states.

      The problem really is, that Trump is extremely popular on the right and even though legally and morally (and many other reasons) it would probably be better to have someone else running on the Republican ticket, short of Trump falling very ill, there doesn’t seem to be a way around candidate Trump. And Trump doesn’t need the electoral votes in Colorado. He will try to get some fake electors in more friendly states.

      Nevertheless it’s a signal that other states may pick up on and follow suit.

    Great idea, ban the frontrunner of the only other viable Party from running for office, this won’t have any consequences at all!

      Perfectly valid action to take when that front runner is a traitor to the nation he swore to serve.

        If that’s true then people votes should decide that, if you don’t believe the people then the nation is doomed

          So just go with the popular vote, right? No electoral college and weird things like that? Just pure voting and disregarding any laws or rules around it?
