Looks like the Colorado vote on splitting their electoral votes instead of doing it winner-take-all is on for sure:

(via NYT)

A federal judge threw out a lawsuit [Tuesday] that challenged the constitutionality of a state ballot proposal seeking to change Colorado's method for awarding its electoral votes for president, clearing the way for a popular vote next week on a measure that politicians and political analysts say could affect the outcome of the presidential race itself.

I have taken courses in Constitutional history and I still have never figured out just what the Founders had in mind with this cockamamie setup called the Electoral College. They claim it's supposed to benefit small states, and I suppose you could say it's stimulating the hell out of the economies of Iowa and Wisconsin at the moment, but still...

More importantly, I find it outrageous that this measure is going to apply to the same election in which it's being voted on. Talk about changing the rules in the middle of the game!
