Colorado Seeks Fair and Balanced Electoral Votes

Colorado leads the way in electoral college reform and now seeks a better solution to the "winner take all" way electoral votes are cast in their state. Make Your Vote Count, a feisty group of Colorado citizens, believes that electoral votes should be awarded based on the percentage of votes for any candidate. For instance, if Satan got 3% of the vote and Dead People got 97% of the vote, then one electoral vote would go to the S-man and the rest to the Ghost brigade. Wow! What a concept! Way to go Colorado for setting a fine example of how to restore voter confidence.
