@Aella_Girl Your put it out there mentality has caused me to be more tolerant of people with different perspectives. Your enjoyment of being yourself has impacted how I see the world.

@TateTheTalisman @elonmusk 4 kids already wipes out $8,000 in taxes. Married, 4 kids, and 100k in taxable income is only $32 in federal tax.

Senate Bill 19-042 (SB19-042) is a law in Colorado that changes how the state allocates its Electoral College votes in presidential elections. Specifically, the bill committed Colorado to awarding its electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote rather than the winner of the state's own popular vote. This is part of an initiative called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC).

Key Points of SB19-042:
National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC):Under SB19-042, Colorado agreed to join the NPVIC, a multi-state agreement that aims to ensure the candidate who wins the national popular vote becomes president, even if they don't win the popular vote in individual states.
Once enough states join the compact (enough to reach 270 electoral votes), the member states agree to award their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, regardless of who wins in their state.

Conditional Nature:The key aspect of SB19-042 is that it does not change how Colorado's electoral votes are awarded unless the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact reaches the threshold of 270 electoral votes.
As of now (2024), the compact has not yet reached that threshold. While several states have joined the compact, the total electoral votes of those states still fall short of 270.

Effect of SB19-042 on Colorado in 2024:In practice, this means that Colorado will still award its 9 electoral votes to the winner of the state's popular vote unless the national popular vote compact reaches 270 electoral votes by the time of the election.
If the compact were to reach that 270-electoral-vote threshold, then Colorado would follow the compact and give its electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote instead of the winner of the Colorado popular vote.

Conclusion:

If Donald Trump were to win the popular vote in Colorado, under normal circumstances, he would receive all 9 of Colorado’s electoral votes. However, if the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has reached the necessary 270 electoral votes by the time of the election, Colorado would be required to give its electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, not necessarily the winner of Colorado’s own vote.
As of 2024, the compact hasn't yet reached the 270 electoral votes needed for full implementation. Therefore, if the NPVIC hasn't reached that threshold by the time of the election, Trump would still receive Colorado's electoral votes if he won the state's popular vote.

@elonmusk Is there a plan to ensure voting procedures in Florida given the hurricane that's about to hit?

@elonmusk Wait. If Elon heads a commission for government efficiency, won't that just cause a recession due to reduced government spending?

@v_eye_let17 @ShatteredSim Swatting gets people seriously injured and killed. Let's NOT generalize it.

[Marshall Martin @marshallsmartin]

"Fire trucks and ambulances swarmed the White House on Monday morning after a caller told 911 dispatchers the building was on fire and someone was trapped inside in what appears to be a 'swatting' incident."

How is this attempted swatting? How would a trapped person in a fire cause SWAT to show up?

It this a false report to get emergency services to show up? It sure is.

[Marshall Martin @marshallsmartin]

@disclosetv It's not swatting until SWAT shows up with guns... and flashbangs. The article says ambulances and fire trucks. 🙄
