Any real electoral reform should be fair, honest, and nationwide -- not a scheme where a Democratic state like California acts alone, while Republican states like Texas and Florida keep their "winner-take-all" systems intact.
To the 2008 Presidential Candidates:
I strongly oppose a potential California initiative that would divvy up California's electoral votes in the 2008 presidential election to the winner of each Congressional district, rather than the "winner-take-all" system that 48 states currently use.
Any real electoral reform should be fair, honest, and nationwide -- not a scheme where a Democratic state like California acts alone, while Republican states like Texas and Florida keep their "winner-take-all" systems intact. That's not reform -- that's a power grab, plain and simple.
Please join me in speaking out against this dangerous initiative and urging California voters to defeat it. It's in your best interests -- and the best interests of all Americans -- to have an electoral system that is truly fair.
