	U.S. Electoral College - InformationBlast
		The electors in each state vote on separate ballots for President and Vice President, at least one of whom must not be an inhabitant of that state.
		Regardless of why the system was chosen, the term "electoral college" is not used in the U.S. Constitution, and it wasn't until the early 1800s that it came into general usage as the unofficial designation for the group of citizens selected to cast votes for President and Vice President.
		Most electoral reform plans in the US include ways to abolish the College, which was originally set up to ensure that responsible citizens would be able to overrule citizens' irrational choices, or negotiate compromises in cases of a very badly split vote where each state was pushing its own native son.

		House Democrats opposed the map because they said it leaves their party with control of the same two districts they already control without providing at least a third competitive seat.
		House Speaker Doug Dean, R-Colorado Springs, said he called Thiebaut last week and suggested they co-sponsor a redistricting bill with the understanding that the Senate could amend it and the House could request a conference committee to work out their differences.
		That ruling was interpreted as a virtual mandate for a "majority-minority" House District 60 with a 50 percent Hispanic voting age population.

	Public Interest Guide to Redistricting
		But reapportionment -- the redrawing of legislative district lines every 10 years after the census discloses changes in population -- is truly the baldest of efforts to keep power in the hands of those who already have it at the expense of anyone or any group of people who might really deserve it.
		Lawmakers are supposed to approve new districts every 10 years to reflect population shifts revealed by the census, but twice in the last three decades a panel appointed by the Supreme Court has drawn the lines because Democratic legislators could not agree with Republican governors on how to draw new districts.
		The new 38th district, essentially an open seat, would be 47 percent Republican and 38 percent Democratic, a 16 percent increase in GOP registration from Horn's current district, and a 13 percent drop in the share of Democratic voters.
