in Colorado, proposing to change the winner-take-all system to a system where the candidates get the proportion of electoral votes from the state as they got popular votes.
In other words, if Bush barely carries CO, then he will get five of our nine electoral votes and Kerry will get the remaining four.
A couple of things I like about this scheme:
- If it passes in November, then it goes into effect immediately for the current election.
- Repubs are violently against it, which suggests we may be on to something good.
