Recalls

I think California alone would prevent Trump from getting the popular vote.

Committee replaces former Rep. Rochelle Galindo

Mary Young said between her work and what she recently saw after the Stem School shooting, she has her focus.

"I was watching the memorial and there were several Colorado politician talking about gun control," she said. "And the students started chanting mental health and walked out. That resonated with me because I've seen we have a deficit of mental health spending during my entire career in Colorado."

Mary Young plans to piggyback on what lawmakers did this session, passing eight mental health-centric bills that focus on everything from school resources to insurance coverage for treatment.

I think California alone would prevent Trump from getting the popular vote.

Part of the reason for that is that California Republicans (along with Republicans in many other deep blue states) either don't vote because its pointless or they vote tactically like the movement in 2016 to get Republicans to vote for Jill Stein so that the Green Party would hit the popular vote threshold to where they'd qualify for federal money thus making them more of a thorn in the side of the Democrats.

If we go pure popular vote you'll see a lot more Republicans in deep blue states voting for Republicans than they are now.

There are several models showing that going pure popular vote will end up helping Republicans more than Democrats (which I'm not so sure of, but if that's what I have to tell Dems to keep them from supporting the dumping of the Electoral College...).

Looks like the Polis recall has started.

It'll fail but hopefully it does well enough to scare the little poof and keep him and the Dems of Denver from pulling the trigger on their most egregious desires.

Agreed. They need something like 15k signatures/day and there are multiple groups in a pissing match over which petition will succeed. If the groups pooled resources and worked towards the common goal instead of arguing who is the 'official' recall group then there *might* be a remote chance of success. I doubt any attempt at recall will temper the policies coming out of Boulder though. If anything they'll take the recall failure as a success and double down on their bull flop.

I really wish the best for you guys, but I've lost ALL confidence in anything Pro2a in this state, which is why, upon my return to work, I'm putting in paperwork for a transfer (promotion) to AZ, despite my "scouting" plans taking a complete nosedive. I know I can handle the heat, have researched the important things, and most importantly I'll be close to Great Kazoo! Wish me luck!
