    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.

    If you didn't catch it earlier, I'm not leaving Colorado by choice. I got orders for California 2 weeks ago.



    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.

    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

    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.
