Change In California Electoral Votes Not Likely
An initiative may be placed on the ballot in California to change the way the state allocates its Electoral Votes. Some political pundits have noted excitedly that the change could add 20 Electoral Votes to the Republican column in Election 2008. However, a Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey confirms the common sense expectation that this change will not be approved by voters. The proposal being pitched in California would award one Electoral Vote to the winner of each Congressional District along with two Electoral Votes for the statewide winner.
