Poll question: A36
(Would split the electoral vote, no more 'winner takes all')

I think it's the ethically right thing to do, I'm just afraid it may end up taking 4 EV away from Kerry... I think I'd vote for the 3rd option, even if it is immoral...

1. Read Colorado Luis
Here is a small part of his 3 part rant:

Let's admit it -- there are a fair number of Democrats who are supporting this measure because they think it is a way to peel off four electoral votes from George Bush. Defeatists!!! How stupid will we feel if John Kerry wins Colorado, but the electoral college "reform" measure passes, Bush picks up four electoral votes and those votes put him over the 270 vote threshold to put him in the White House for another four years. Then what? John Kerry sues to overturn the measure because it changes the way electors are chosen during the same election at which those electors are on the ballot? The Colorado Supreme Court rules in his favor, but the U.S. Supreme Court installs George W. Bush as president a second time?
