Yep.
But it won't make much of a dent if it's only implemented in one state, although that's better than nothing....
However, is anyone really surprised that one of the two major parties is trying to tweak the system to serve their interests?... I thought everyone realized that such events are commonplace for both the big parties!
I do agree that this is an obvious attempt by the Republican party to tip the odds in their favor in the state. Democrats would be feverishly supporting it too, if they thought it would better THEIR chances of election/re-election...
But if it were a nationwide thing, then I'll be all for it! ANYTHING that makes it easier for third parties to get a foot further in the door is a good thing.
