More ruses than honesty, more ballots than voters:
Something is happening in Colorado, and you better pay attention. Colorado Democrats, with the active help of some Republican county election clerks interested in shirking work, have devised a revolutionary plan to remake future Colorado elections.
The plan is simple: ballots are automatically mailed out to every single person on the voter rolls. Ballots are even mailed to people listed as “inactive” voters at their last known address. Ballots are then voted and returned by mail.
No more polling places. No more voters actually demonstrating an interest in participating in an election. The government will decide that for them, and scatter millions of paper ballots into the U.S. mail.
Hey, it’s not like people are going to just walk up on election night and hand you all the votes you need. Sometimes you gotta be proactive and put those votes out there.
Not to worry – what with the new law allowing dope smoking, the voters in Colorado will be too incompetent to fill out their ballots properly.
This is scary stuff. We laugh at it at our peril. This is how a democracy is destroyed.
If that’s how democracy is destroyed, just wait until you see how the money is destroyed . . . . which is how a civilization is destroyed.
This will be chaos is college towns. Ballots will be mailed out to the last address used locally by a voter which means many apartments will receive multiple ballots. The current resident could easily cast all of them with no repercussions. Easy fraud.
Sigh.. It’s the unfortunate wave of the future. Here in Oregon we’ve had mail-in balloting for years. While there seems to be no evidence of massive fraud in recent elections, the system is firmly in place to allow that fraud to happen. When it does, I expect the officials to shrug their shoulders and say that they’ll try to work out something a little better for the next election… then shuffle paper for two years.
Voters should accept nothing less than paper ballots at a polling station. No mail in ballots.
Just goes to show both parties don’t give a fig for Democracy. It who’s first to loot Citizens. Why bother to vote is the mantra. We will decide for the once free adults.
They have turned the Constitution into just paper. Now even voting is a sham.
I’m afraid the wave of the future will be clicking “like” on a social-networking site…
This is almost the dumbest idea ever.
I’d care a lot less if this was occurring in California.
Sigh, I have to think. Is the solution electronic fingerprinting?
In Venezuela they have electronic fingerprint machines that need be scanned before you are able to vote.
The recent cheating has been widely reported.
So the Iraqi people with their purple dyed fingers have a better system to counter electoral fraud than the US does. I feel like I’m living in some bizarro world.
I wonder how many stations are going to vote 100% for one candidate like those in Philadelphia last November.
Wonderful scheme,now the bureaucrats will be able to claim success.
Voter turn out at all time high.
130% of eligible voters voted, there is no voter apathy in Colorado.
This might be a clue, that these people do fear the real voters.
How can this possibly go wrong?
Colorado (and Denver in particular) being the new spook capital of the US (more active, retired and semi retired CIA/NSA concentrated in one area than anywhere else) you can expect to see the local and state politics resemble the klusterfug they have made of every foreign hell hole they have ever meddled in.
The Dem party is the spook party in DC and we see them making it their own little play thing in Colorado.

Approximately twenty years ago, while on a business trip to Denver, I took a taxi across the city. The driver gave me an hour long description of what Colorado had been and what it was becoming. He concluded that Colorado’s increasing problems stemmed directly from the number of Californians who had grown tired of the way things were going down on the coast, so they moved to Colorado to something “better”. But like a horse with burdock in his tail, they brought along the seeds of the rot they were trying to escape.
Could something similar happen in Canada? Surprise, folks. It already has – thousands of Ontarians moved to Alberta over the past couple of decades, and now – Alison Redford is Premier of the province.
That is because even the airheads have to eat. They always go where the ‘pickins’ are good. I’m a Jared Diamond fan. All civilizations have their day. They usually fail when the citizens are not prepared to defend it. That pretty much describes where we are at.
