An initiative campaign seeks to end Colorado's winner-take-all presidential electoral system and award the state's Electoral College votes proportionally as a percentage of the statewide popular vote, the Denver Post reports.
"If approved Nov. 2, the constitutional amendment would affect this year's choice for president by immediately permitting the division of Colorado electoral votes. And it would mark the most ambitious Electoral College reform yet in the nation."
"The U.S. Constitution gives state legislatures the power to choose the method of selecting presidential electors. Most states, including Colorado, have a winner-take-all system. Two states - Maine and Nebraska - have passed measures giving only two electoral votes to the overall winner of the state; the rest are awarded individually based on the winner of the popular vote in each of those states' congressional districts."
