Elections

Amendment 36 would change the way Colorado awards its presidential electoral votes, awarding votes proportionally as opposed to the traditional method of winner-take-all.

Except in rare years when the winner gets more than 60% of the votes, five electoral votes would go to the winner and four to the loser. As such, the advantage to a winning candidate goes from 9 electoral votes down to 1. COLORADO'S PRESIDENTIAL VOICE GOES DOWN WITH IT

Amendment 36 is the permanent trading of Colorado's influence in presidential elections and position in the hierarchy of states for FOUR ELECTORAL VOTES

In terms of political leverage in the executive branch of our government, Colorado will effectively have 1/3 of the power of Alaska, Delaware or Wyoming. Washington DC will have 3 times the effective electoral votes of Colorado and the people behind 36 want you to believe this is a good thing. (But what do they care? They don't live here anyway.)
