This only takes effect when enough states have joined the alliance to push it over 270 electoral votes. Only 14 states have joined so far, comprising only 209 votes, so it does not reach the threshold, therefore it is not in effect.
There is no way this will be allowed to stand if they ever do get enough states. It completely undermines the Electoral College and goes directly against the Constitution. The voters of these states would no longer decide who they select for president. I understand the electors are not necessarily required to vote for the choice of the people, but in this case Colorado is binding electors to vote for someone externally selected and completely disenfranchising the Colorado voters.
That would be awesome.....Never interfere when the enemy is in the process of destroying themselves. They had no idea, they would lose control. I pray this is true.
These laws are a circumvention of the US Constitution and should be struck down by the Supreme Court. There is a mechanism to change the Constitution, but this is not it.

It loaded for me. Interesting read.
This isn't legal.
CO passed the law - has it been overturned?
The Constitution says different and it will be overturned.

Well, that clears it up Thanks. Trump should call them on it just to make them stammer.
SHEESH no WONDER they are still cheating! How many votes to they have to "find" to steal the popular vote from Trump!
If they can't do it, their blue "WALL" is going to crumble into rubble!

Something tells me it doesn't apply to Orange Man Bad
Only if the candidate is Democrat.
