HB 1299 is Dead, Long Live Electoral College & Colorado’s Political Relevance

A close call: House Bill 1299 — Colorado Democrats’ attempt to subvert the Electoral College wisdom of the Founders — happily has died. Thanks to senators on both sides of the aisle (including my own Democrat state senator Moe Keller) for putting an end to this bad idea.

But HB 1299 went further and lasted longer than it ever should have … all part of the joy (cough) of having the Democrats in charge at the State Capitol.

After all, the Democrats are making progress in their other efforts to govern themselves out of the majority: the latest example is the “for the children” hypocrisy of Senate Bill 291.
