I agree with you Warbler. Reform is necessary to keep value in individual votes. I like the fact that in Colorado they will be voting on a new system for Colorado's electorial votes. The system they would like is one where the votes are given on the basis of the majority vote. That is, if you get half the majority vote in Colorado, you get half the electorial votes. I think this is a much more logical way to do things. It would balance out the democracy vs. republic problems, and also be a more accurate representation of the majority vote.

Ive heard that there is a large movement against this being on the ballot for Colorado. Its a bipartisan plan, or its touted as such. Mostly Republicans are nay-saying its effectiveness at this point. Im not making an evaluation of either party. However, I cant understand being opposed to better representation of the people's desires.
The only fault I see is, if every state doesnt do this. Some states that do will be considered negligible. Politicians will still go after the big pulls on electorial votes. But if every state were to do this, I dont see where any problem would arise.

Forgive me if thats all not very clear.
