I need some help here guys. Colorado has a proposition on the ballot that will change us from a winner takes all (currently 9 votes) to a proportional system where the winner gets 1 vote plus a percentage of the rest. Now Colorado is often split pretty much down the middle with a titch more voting GOP than DNC. So the end result could be a 5-4 split for the electoral college. Now if this system had been in place last election Algore would have won.
Arguements
Con: Colo's 9 votes makes us worthwhile in the election. If it is changed to the proportional system then it would only be 1-2 votes and therefore we would be ignored/have no pull.
Pro: This seems the quickest way to make a third party viable. It would also help to break up the stranglehold that the one party/two faction system currently has.
Dems of course love this system for the midwest states as it would gain them votes, conversely getting this system on the coasts would lose them votes. I am trying to decide whether or not to support this initiative and am not sure if I am seeing all the sides here.
