This article was posted yesterday. One of the posters replying to it pointed out that the method of selecting electors must be determined by the state legislature, not by a referendum (and the Colorado legislature has already rejected this proposal).

See Article II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors..."

I hope the voters know this. :/

Well, the Rats ignored this clause in the Constitution during their self-created Florida debacle...why would anyone expect them to adhere to this clause in Colorado or anywhere else?
