The Colorado voters spoke, and while they were fairly evenly split on whom they wanted for president and whom they wanted for senator, but when it came time to vote on Amendment 36, they spoke with relative unaminty that they didn't want to split their electoral vote based on the popular vote, voting down the proposition with 65.42% voting "No."

However, I decided to go ahead and tabulate results if the proposed scheme was implemented in every state. For reference, Bush won the real race 286 electoral votes to 252. Under the new scheme, Bush would have won 280 to 258.

I also decided to apply the dividing proceedure to the nationwide popular vote, in a manner not unlike (in spirit, although not exactly in practice; they use a different rounding method) like the Israeli Knesset, where you vote for parties in a national election. Bush would receive 270 electoral votes to 262 for Kerry, with Ralph Nader getting 3 and Libertarian Michael Badnarick getting 2.
