CO Prop 36 ....proportionate representation.......

[serryjw]

League of Woman voters came out for it....is this good? Still undecided.

1. I like it, but only if the entire country votes on it

If only Colorado passes it, essentially we'll only have +/-1 EV.

I'm voting NO this time.

7. I'm with you

ONLY if all 50 states do it. :think:

2. In the big picture, yes. This year? Hell no.

I think Colorado can go kerry; I want him to have all 9 of our votes.

BUT... I want the proportional system all over the country.

It's the one issue I'm having a hell of a time deciding on.

3. CO is going Kerry

I'll vote NO!

4. Bad idea. Worst. Idea. Ever.

1. This year, it tactically gives Bush 4 EV. If it passes, and Kerry wins the state, Bush gets 4. If it passes, and Bush wins the state, the Supreme Court outlaws it on an article 3 challenge and Bush takes 9 EV.

2. The states where this type of referendum could pass are mostly those who follow the "Oregon System" of government. They are, you guessed it, mostly west coast states, mostly "blue states". If the West Coast goes to this, we've just lost 30-40 electoral votes.

6. I am worried about the challenge in the Supreme Court

Hasn't Owens threatened to veto it?

Policat said +/- 1 or a 5/4 split. What would it take for a 3rd party to win 1 EV? I think this is why MOST people want to support it, is to give a 3rd party a chance.


I hadn't thought about blue vs red states. You are correct. RED states would never do this.

5. What polls show Colarado will go Kerry?

I would vote Yes, and give Kerry a sure 4 EV's
