The 2016 city of Boulder, BVSD and SCFD ballot measures all passed. The only county measure that didn’t pass was a mill levy increase for subdivision roads. State voters rejected 4 measures and approved 5 measures. The approved ballot issues open primary elections to unaffiliated voters, increase the number of signatures for petitions to change the constitution, increase the minimum wage, and allow medical aid in dying for the terminally ill.
As in 2000, the 2016 winner of the presidential popular vote did not win the Electoral College vote. The proposed National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) is intended to bypass the Electoral College as soon as states with 270 electoral votes join the compact. The NPVIC was introduced in the Colorado’s General Assembly as Senate Bill 17-099. It was “killed” in the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee.
