I have heard it said that it is all 5 points or none. I think it rests upon the various descriptions people give to the 5 points. There are those who ascribed to Amyraldism who tinkers with the 'limited atonement'. I think they say that no one can choose God, but somehow they can reject Him. They will point to some verses that appears as if a person rejects God. But with this view, it appears to me that election follows man's rejection or not. Somehow universalism plays a role, but I cannot understand completely how.

This is Wikipedia's article on Amyraldism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyraldism

Just a thought. The way we see election today is the results. It is the result of people choices. The term 'elect' in the Bible conveys the choice of God, not of people. Therein, that may be a problem with today as we come from a more individualistic and democratic mindsets.
