Just got Dean's message about the CA electoral votes.

http://www.democrats.org/DirtyTricks

<snip>

California, like 47 other states, awards all of its electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the most votes. In the last four elections, all of California's electoral votes have gone to the Democratic nominee.

Republicans want to change the rules to award one electoral vote for each Congressional district a presidential candidate wins. In 2004, that would have given George Bush 19 of John Kerry's 55 votes.

These so-called "reformers" aren't proposing to do this in Texas, or Florida, or Ohio, or any other large state that the Republicans won in 2004.

Only California.

This isn't electoral reform -- it's a blatant power grab.

2. Thanks
I signed the petition and forwarded it on. This is really important and I don't think a lot of people in CA are aware of it.
