Colorado Dems advance bill on national popular vote pact

 

DENVER (AP) - - Colorado's Senate has passed a bill to have the state award its presidential electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote.

 

Democratic Sen. Mike Foote's bill would have Colorado join 11 states and the District of Columbia in what's called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

 

It would replace the Electoral College, in which 270 electoral votes are needed to win the U.S. presidency. Compact proponents say it would go into effect once enough states with 270 votes enter the pact.

 

Colorado has nine electoral votes. Compact members currently have 172 electors.

 

The bill, which passed on party lines Tuesday, goes to the Democrat-controlled House.

 

Several presidents, most recently Donald Trump in 2016, were elected with an electoral college majority despite losing the popular vote.

PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKES FIRST PHONE CALL TO VENEZUELA’S JUAN GUAIDÓ

 

President Donald Trump made his first known phone call to Venezuela’s Juan Guaidó on Wednesday and reinforced his support for the opposition against dictatorial President Nicolás Maduro.

 

Trump recognized opposition leader GuaidĂł as the legitimate president of Venezuela last week after Maduro won re-election in a contentious nationwide vote. The U.S. government cited the election results as illegitimate because the Maduro regime has been known to jail and torture political opposition and protesters.
