View Full Version : 2019 voting
Voted no on CC because the state stole too much money, and with dems in charge, the money will go to thier pet projects, not what's on the ballot.
Voted no on DD because of the tax, not because of gambling. Remove the tax and new guberment piggy bank, then I would vote yes.
Douglas County 1A. Voted no. Time for a tax to die. No need for additional projects. They can find the money elsewhere.
I thought the weed taxes were supposed to make everything better? [hahhah-no]

I voted no on everything including the school board choices (don't know enough about them to trust any of them ... I've come the the point where anyone that wants to hold public office makes me suspicious)
The outspoken educator lesbian couple on the corner that have a sign in the yard? If I pick people that aren't on that sign, that should work, right?
The only issues with my ballot is there's no bubble marked "Not only NO, but Hell F@cking NO!"...

Colorado ballot 2024:
We have updated the ballot to remove answers such as "yes" and "no" as we have determined they have racist historical roots in white privilege; when slaves used to be required to answer "Yes'M" or "No'M'". As such, they marginalize minorities, LGBTQPPHO, undocumented voters, and millennial.
On a range from 1 to 10, please indicate how triggered each following ballot proposal makes you:

Voted "NO" again.
Seem to remember the last time "extra tax money" came up on a ballot, "the people" voted to let them keep it. WTF?

...and the Dems run the government. It's the same numbers game that allows both.
Got this from Rally for Our Rights via email this afternoon:
Colorado's 2019 Election is Tuesday, Nov 5th and it matters!
People rarely think of gun rights when voting for a city council, mayor, or school board, but the gun grabbers have their tentacles all the way down to the municipal level - and it has been proven with things such as the Assault Weapons Ban in Boulder, the recent bogus Gun Safety Resolution in Longmont, the Douglas County School board voting to remove a charter school who had authorized armed school staff, and then even the other way with Second Amendment Sanctuary Resolutions in other towns such as Commerce City.
I wish I had the time to speak with everyone who you'll find on your ballot, but unfortunately I do not. That said, I do have some strong recommendations in a few very important races. Here they are:
Longmont:
Regan Sample - Ward 3 This ward is being vacated by councilwoman Bonnie Finley. Bonnie has been one of the strongest pro-2A and limited government voices on that council. Regan will fill her shoes well and keeping this seat is critical. Regan's opponent is being funded by the other anti-gun sitting councilmembers in hopes to push more of their agenda.
Matt Garrett - At-Large Matt is running against sitting councilwoman Joan Peck, who recently voted for the extreme anti-gun resolution the town passed. Matt is a Longmont native and solid in his pro-gun principles.
Learn more about both candidates at www.voterightlongmont.com.
Commerce City:
Benjamin Huseman - Mayor Benjamin is a current sitting Commerce City councilman and led the successful effort to declare the town a Second Amendment Sanctuary. Watch his speech about that here. He is definitely worthy of your vote!
Learn more about him at www.facebook.com/Huseman4Mayor
Broomfield:
Kim Tavendale - Ward 1
Brent Hultman - Ward 2
Kevin Jacobs - Ward 3
Emily Joo - Ward 4
David Beacom - Ward 5
Pueblo:
Dave DeCenzo - Ward 2 Dave was on the original successful Recall Angela Giron team in 2013 and is dedicated advocate for gun rights.
Douglas County School Board:
Franceen Thompson
Andy Jones
Kory Nelson
Jefferson County School Board:
Rob Applegate
Susan Miller
Garfield County School Board RE2:
Seth McMillan
If you have other candidates you know are worthy of support, please let me know! Please also don't hesitate to forward this email on to others who may live in these areas.
I also encourage a NO vote on Prop CC as this will eliminate TABOR refunds FOREVER with the legislature being able to change where the money goes at will, and it could go to anti-gun efforts. And hey, that's money we could be spending on guns and ammo and defending our gun rights!
Everyone probably voted early, but if you haven't, ballots are due tomorrow.

That's good to read. I'd filled out the ballot except for the actual elections (did yes on DD for the legalization aspect, no on everything else), but was wanting to review the candidates. Both of the mayoral candidates for Longmont suck, and there's one position where only one guy is running, so I refused to fill those two out. For the council, there are 4 individuals. Two are hard no's, one was a maybe, but I liked Matt's "must look at all positions" view, seemed the most reasonable. I've signed and sealed it, so seeing here now that he's also pro-2A, that makes me happy I went with him.
The only elections in Bennett were for school board directors, cant find much on any of them.
For the record, I went no on DD. The "Water Plan" is extremely vague with no specifics. Having the tax revenue exempt from constitutional spending limits also doesn't blow my skirt up.
These vice taxes to fund "fill in the blank obligation here" also never seem to resolve the issues and they'll come back and ask for more next time around.
I voted no on everything that mentioned tax on my ballot.
Key words that require a “No” vote-Tax, Increase and Budget.
Wife and I voted "NO" across the board. I have hope that CC won't pass, but yet in the last election the "D"s got voted in about every where and surely by now everyone knows that they stand for more taxes. SO, CC isn't about raising taxes, but their frickin' TV add sure makes it sound all warm and fuzzy with know mention that the state wants to avoid paying back the over tax that they receive. It's for the children, after all. I'm afraid too many people will vote for it because, "it doesn't raise taxes". I suppose if CC doesn't pass, we'll simply start seeing more "fee" increases, to get around the TABOR issue.
Crooks, the Dems. are.
No across the board was a pretty easy vote.

I'm nervous. A short bit ago, CC yes was leading like 56% to 44%, labelled as 20% reporting. Now, as of 2 minutes ago, it's No 56, Yes 44. Moving in the right direction, but that early scare has me a bit on edge.

Should have seen it when only Denver was reporting :)
no kidding, 9 news reported CC "yes" votes were way ahead at the time that the 6 o'clock news aired. Must've been when only Denver was reporting...Surely people aren't ready to give the Dems. full rein on taxes....
This was so heavily favored to the Government, I can't imagine how strong the people are (like Douglas Bruce!) that resist it.
Without raising taxes and to better fund public schools, higher education, and roads, bridges, and transit, within a balanced budget, may the state keep and spend all the revenue it annually collects after June 30, 2019, but is not currently allowed to keep and spend under Colorado law, with an annual independent audit to show how the retained revenues are spent?
YOU MAY NOT!

They got it passed in CA.
We're damn close to being East CA, so it's likely just a matter of time.

Not this time.
-John
Agreed, and I am glad of that fact.
I just find it unlikely that it will stay that way with the rate of new people, often lib's, headed for CO.
My understanding was that California never had a Tabor (Tax Payors Bill of Right's) Amendment, and therefore were at the mercy of their politicians.
-John
We have had, and will hopefully continue to have, a Tax Payers Bill of Rights.
Thank you Douglas Bruce.

When we shut down Government spending, and demand a balanced budget, the only thing they will be saying is "Oh, shit."

Dougco went stupid on 1A.

Out of state students, with non co id cannot vote in CO elections.

Sure. I suppose illegals and dead people can?t vote either?

I think they can register to vote in CO even if they're originally from out of state, they just can't vote back home too. Not entirely sure, but I think that's what was going on at DU when I voted on campus. I don't know much about the rules.
They are still counting votes in Aurora, and my conservativ'ish guy Bob Roth, after starting decently ahead, has now fallen behind his ultra liberal opponent (I think, didn't pay this lady any mind, never heard of her before.)
We're 500 votes away from having the vote swing from Coffman as Mayor to another ultra liberal (I think, I didn't pay this guy any mind, never heard of him before), Omar Montgomery.
Looks like Charlie (who already was siding with the other ultra liberal council members,) is losing, likely to an even more liberal candidate.
Fran?oise Bergan looks safe, and I think she is semi-normal.
The Council at large seems to be destined to split, one ultra liberal, one purported conservative.
It's gone down hill severely since election night. :(
I didn't realize there were still votes to be counted, even though I was one of the people that dropped off their ballots election day.

If they're still counting ballots, they're probably still stuffing the boxes.
Maybe I can sneak several hundred ballots in yet? Where's my color printer?! ;)
-John
Weren't all the news agencies declaring Coffman the winner yesterday?
Sent from somewhere...
Apparently they also don't know that it takes some time to count votes.

I do think that the Secretary of State should be much more transparent in reporting results.
We received all these by email/mail;
x, y
We picked up (lots, none, some) ballots today, and will count and report them, ASAP.
