chatarra did not explicitly state whether they meant popular vote in Colorado, or electoral college vote in Colorado, so I escalated this to a discussion of new rules at this link:

I intended for this market to be decided by Electoral College votes, which are the ones that count, when it comes to elections and voting in our country.
