2019 voting

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.

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

20,000 of them are out-of-state CU students who don't have to live with the consequences of their vote.

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?!
