I thought Colorado voted on this back in 2004? I guess their legislature doesn't care.
They file these bills all the time, I don't know why the media insists on reporting it like it's anything unusual or new. Get back to me when one passes completely and is signed by the state's governor.
Personally I'd like to see these kinds of laws past in liberal states that like this kind of stuff, California, New York and Massachusetts. Let the liberals make it harder on themselves to win. Give them the rope.
It is a viable movement that is moving forward, including in CA, MA, and NY. The idea is to circumvent the electoral college and have the vote decided by popular vote. It gives more power to the large states and urban areas.
This was soundly defeated in Colorado...
