Give the money to Qbert so she can re-open the money-losing Shooters Grill and continue to poison people.
I’d divide it into two equal parts. One half would go to groups that maintain and build trails in Colorado, or protect key wildlife habitat & public lands.
The other half would go to groups advocating for separation of church and state, and womens’ reproductive rights.
Spend it on bolstering Clerk and Recorder offices around the state with extra cash and additional practice counting ballots. Oh wait that's what she is doing with someone else's money. You have to love how this steals attention away from the candidate who won and is the Republican nominee.
I'd give it to Adam Frisch, the Democrat running in the 3rd CD (so far invisibly) against Boobert, with the provision that his introductory radio spots mention his business background plus water and more water, and that they run on stations in the 3rd CD that carry right-wing radio. The lion's share of the buy should be made direct on KNZZ, AM 1100, in Grand Junction.
Hear, hear.
Serious question from a Mesa County Lurker. Why was the machine recount rule put in? Since it was put in by Gessler what was the advantage to the Rs?
I don't know Gessler's reasoning, but:
• the machines are certified accurate with test ballots matching real ballot layouts
• they're faster and cheaper than a hand recount
• they're more accurate than a hand recount. All ballots with clear intent are counted in software, and those that aren't clear are human-reviewed.
• any programmatic discrepancies should have been caught in the risk-limiting audit
Who gives a rat's ass?
It's her money to waste as she sees fit. It did belong to the MAGA morons who donated it to her cause, but those fools and their money soon went separate ways. Such is life.
If she really wanted to do something nice, she would have invited a contingent of Q-Anon folk from Mesa County to travel to Mar-A-Lago with her for the recent private screening of 2,000 Mules. Or she could have provided them with an all-expense paid trip to Bedminster the Saudi golf tournament this week.
Or she could spend it on a recount.
It's their money… I just wish that the clerks and secretary of state could have some fun with it. I'd keep teasing Tina in the lead! Numbers are woke as sos uses arabic to communicate! A smell of sulphur was reported! Then revel Tina Peters got the same number she lost by thanks for playing.
(in voice of fake Al Gore on SNL saying "lock box") Food Banks
That money could house about 15 low income families for a year.
(current market rate for 2 BR apartment in Denver is 1400/mo times 12, ~16,800 / yr. 250,0000 / 16800 = 14.8)
Give it to Media Matters or Progress Now. Hopefully, they could run this BS so high up social media trend lines that every Dem in the country feels it necessary to contribute $5 and a 2-hour shift this fall to drive her and her kind out of politics.
Expecting anything productive out of Media Matters or Progress Now is the funniest thing I've read so far today.
But the suggestion, should Peters read it, would make her projectile vomit.
The quarter million dollars could provide a guaranteed income of $24,000 to 10 families for a year. Or probably about a quarter million meals through a food bank. Or pay for a campaign like Pueblo's “Get the Lead Out” effort for communities that have not completed the detection and removal of lead pipes.
I'm just happy it will not be available for MAGA campaigns.
$250,000 would repay most, not all, of my kids' student debt.
Set up a foundation to fund childhood vaccination and name it after the most rabid anti-vaxxer in the Colorado GQP. (Yeah, I realizing picking just one could be problematic.)
If that doesn't work, there's always hookers and blow.
You all are listing what a philanthropic liberal would fund. Not a fair answer to this question. A fair answer is what would a Republican politician fund that was the most effective use of the money.
I’d say it’s donate to the PAC supporting the Republican candidates in the 7 competitive Senate races.
$250k would buy about 10,000 cases of Pabst Blue Ribbon. We could have one helluva meetup.
V, you drink cheap beer.
As Lenin said, Cookie, quantity has a quality all of its own.
