Wow -- Colorado to split Electoral College Votes ??

[Eloriel]

This could be good. They're talking about splitting their Electoral Votes in line with the popular vote. If this passes it will go inte effect immediately. Al Gore would have WON by 1 Electoral Vote in 2000 had this law been in effect.

All this from a Fox News piece I'm watching (only because CNN and MSNBC go "dark" for all practical purposes on Saturday afternoons).

THIS is a very GOOD idea for "reforming" the Electoral College, IMO. Think about this: it would put so many more states in play so there'd be fewer "fly over" states relative to the campaign -- certainly Colorado would get more attention starting immediately, I would think.

Colorado is currently split down the middle, according to polls, and Republicans are trying real hard to defeat this initiative.

Edited: because I just realized it's probably a BILL in the Lege, rather than a referendum.
