Democrats are usually the first to vote early, en masse because they just fill in the party-line bubbles quickly and return their ballot... Republicans take a whole lot more time to do their research and vote with a bit more awareness on what they're doing...so the stats we see right now will undoubtedly be skewed toward democrats. I'm hoping they shift heavily in the next week though, or we're screwed.

as do the trump fanclub members. The third type, people who have to select Trump (for sake of judicial, if nothing else), despite it clearly being idiocracy in the flesh, are not racing to the polls. Some might even get there a week late.
I went through the blue book last night, will fill out my ballot tonight, and drop it off tomorrow morning on the way to work. Some seriously devious wording on some of the ballot issues this year.
Yeah I had a real tough time deciphering Amendment B.

I find property taxes to be the most odious of taxes because you can never REALLY own your own property because you have to pay property taxes every year and if you don't they take your home. There are issues with Gallagher to be sure, as the ratio has put a disproportionate burden on businesses (they they pass on to us, the customers) but a full repeal is the wrong move to fix those issues.

I read that opinion, and many others. What tipped me was that a repeal appeared to be another attempt at a cash grab and work around for Tabor.
I think the line about businesses passing the extra along to customers only probably applies to some businesses. It must be very rough for businesses that can't just charge more.
There's a lot of Tabor end runs going on every year lately. They wordplay to catch the uninformed, unsuspecting, stupid, and lazy off guard to voting for their BS amendments.Quote:

Guess I?ll break open the blue book tonight and try and educate myself.
Someone else here posted a text where they actually replied to one of those political messages. I got yet another one and figured I?d at least respond.
