Litigation in Colorado:

Judge dismisses challenge to Electoral College ballot measure

http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,3...2493157,00.html

A federal judge in Denver today left it up to Colorado voters to decide on Election Day whether to change the way the state distributes its electoral votes for president.

The measure, Amendment 36, would scrap Colorado's winner-take-all system for distributing its nine Electoral College votes. Instead, presidential candidates a would be awarded a share of the electoral votes based on the popular vote. The change would begin with this year's elections

The measure has drawn national attention because the race between President Bush and Democratic challenger John Kerry is so close. The difference between getting all Colorado's Electoral College votes and getting eight or fewer could be enough to determine which man wins.
