Whatever happened with the measure on the ballot in Colorado that would have the state's electoral votes split by congressional district??  I'm assuming it lost, but I don't know.

It wasn't by CD as far as I know...I believe it was by popular vote. As in, unless it was a landslide, the winner would get 5 and the loser 4. Unless there was a similar proposal...

It lost. Badly.

No 66%
Yes 34%

With 97% of precincts reporting. It passed in only three categories: Pitkin, San Juan, and San Miguel. Kerry took Pitkin by 39 points, San Juan by 8 (which makes a win there surprising), and San Miguel by 44.

Wow.  I thought it would be closer than that...maybe 5-10 pts. difference.

Salazar and Coors both came out against it. That pretty much killed it. Democrats probably were still hoping that Kerry might be able to carry the state, or worried about future neutralization.

It would have split the electoral vote 5/4 without regard to congressional district (unless one candidate won by a landslide).  The margin wasn't really surprising, it was only getting about 35% in the polls in the last week, and undecideds always break heavily against the passage of ballot propositions.

On CNN, they announced that this proposition had failed even before they got any other CO results in.
