GOP-backed bid to reform California’s electoral process collapsing

Days after a controversial organization began collecting voter signatures for a ballot measure to change California’s winner-take-all presidential vote, a founder of the GOP-backed group says its major players are resigning – and the group will fold – due to lack of funding and support.

“The levels of support just weren’t there,” said Marty Wilson, the Sacramento-based fundraiser, in a telephone interview Thursday.

Wilson was among the founding members of Californians for Equal Representation, the group led by Sacramento attorney Thomas Hiltachk that intended to collect roughly 434,000 signatures to qualify the Presidential Election Reform Act for the June 2008 ballot.

So, is electoral college delegate reform over for the 2008 Presidental election cycle?

Probably………

But, Electoral Reform California Initiative has qualified and is currently circulating for signatures. However, its signature deadline is within 60 days.

And this initiative does not have the funny business – butt biting -Â associated.

Looks like a dead issue to Flap. Or is it?
