ELECTION 2014 - Merged Threads

Just thinking out loud. What if the ballot allowed you to vote for a first choice and a second choice. Your second choice vote only counted in the case that your first choice was not in first or second place. We do it for hunting. :)

I believe you are referring to run-off voting. Nynco is always suggesting it.

Also just found out we took the house down here! Woohoo!

It's all about selfish and immediate gratification: "If the state is losing and I'll be miserable here, why would I stay? I have a limited time here on earth, I may as well live in a place that suits me best, right?"
If you didn't catch it earlier, I'm not leaving Colorado by choice. I got orders for California 2 weeks ago. [pileoshit]



Honestly, I cannot understand how DeGette got 160,000+ votes.. This just blows my mind. How are people not dying off by the dozens from natural selection?

Instant Runoff Voting can work a number of different ways. The chart below is one example. Several countries use this effectively.

Red turn arrows and airbags. [ROFL3]

So the way it looks now, R's took the State Senate, and as of current standings the state house is 32 D and 33 R, but there are some very close races still

When do they do re-districting, only every 10 years?
That's really the only hope to make CO a balanced state once again, aside from some massive re-organization of the state .gov

Bright side is Kagan and pee your self Salazar lost.

Arizona has no water. A serious influx of illegals. It will be one of the battleground areas when LaRaza and Azteca decide to take it back. Combine that with it being a major highway for illegals coming here and points north.
Utah, Northern UT perhaps, Idaho looks good. Wyoming has priced itself out of the market for those looking for some acreage, due to oil & gas boom.
