Colorado electoral votes question

Sorry … I’m sure you guys have discussed. I’m in and out the board everyday, but tough to stay on top of everything. It’s been difficult to search and I can’t get clear answer on Google…
So it seems Colorado voted to give their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner. Is that official? Or is it just a pact they signed for the future?
Clearly their state legislature will reneg and remove it going forward. They never envisioned this result.
Thanks

It was a lot more than Colorado.
But it doesn’t kick in until enough states join.
Off of memory it’s CA, WA, OR, CO, NM, IL, MN, NH, VT, NY, MA, CT, RI, MD, and DE.

If the law were in effect, Kamala would only have 7 EV’s this election.

The compact never went into effect. They had to have a certain number of states and electoral votes for it to kick in and they haven't reached that amount.

The compact goes into effect if they get enough states together that total a sum of 270 EVs. They don’t have that amount yet so it’s not active. It’s their liberal way of taking what they perceive as a stand without having to actually do anything. All talk no action, reason why Trump was elected.

We won't know what that number is until they decide it's to their advantage to tell us.

I had asked this question earlier - and still have a question:
IF that 'threshold' is ever reached, does the law hold them to that pact regardless of the outcome?
OR is it written so that they have the OPTION of choosing that way of allocating their EC votes IF they get the desire they want.
It would seem to me that any LAW would have to work whether or not the people initially proposing the law liked the outcome or not. But is there wiggle room in the 'interpretation' such that it DOES give the states the OPTION of choosing the "new way" or the "old way" depending on the OUTCOME??
I would expect these self-serving critters to do the latter.

That's a better way of asking the same question I just posed - plus it contains the answer.
= 'It only is applicable IF it gives us the result we want."
