Grand Junction, CO – Today, Commissioners Rose Pugliese and Mark Waller released a letter signed by 50 current and former county commissioners from across Colorado calling on Governor Polis and other statewide political leaders to reject SB 42 and the national popular vote scheme. Senate Bill 42 would commit Colorado to a national popular vote agreement that gives Colorado’s votes for President to states with more people like California, New York, and Illinois.
The letter, signed by Republican and Independent commissioners, further underscores the deep opposition to Colorado joining the national popular vote agreement and strong support for the petition filed to allow Colorado voters the chance to reject the national popular vote scheme in November 2020.
Coloradans Vote is dedicated to keeping Colorado’s votes for President with Colorado voters by blocking the national popular vote scheme and giving Colorado voters a chance to decide the issue in November 2020. To put the national popular vote on the 2020 general election ballot, Coloradans Vote must collect and submit more than 125,000 signatures by August 1, 2019.
