Colorado is getting more attention this year than usual. For one, the state might go either way this time rather than being solidly Republican.
Possibly more important is Amendment 36. (need Acrobat Reader to open the pdf file) In a nutshell, Amendment 36 would split the 9 Colorado electoral votes by percentage of popular votes. Potentially, a third party candidate could get some electoral votes. Definately, some EC votes will go Repub and some Demo. This amendment would take effect for the 2004 election. If Amendment 36 passes, the outcome of the election could be impacted, with most analysist thinking that it would help Kerry and hurt Bush. Some analysts have speculated that passage of Amendment 36 could throw the whole election into the courts again. I'm going to vote for this change, but what do you think? Debate question: Should Colorado adopt Amendment 36 and thus split its electoral votes for the 2004 election? |
