Ha! First it was the Republic of Boulder, and now Colorado has lost it's statehood?
Also, watching the #COLeg hissy-fit about this on Twitter today has been funny.
Definitely, our most amusing typo so far this year. Thanks for pointing it out.
Call Governor Hickenlooper at (303) 866-2471 and tell him to veto this bill–OR ELSE THE ANARCHISTS WILL DESTROY OUR WAY OF LIFE!!!!!!!!11111!!!!one!!!!!11
LMAO. Did they find even one Republican County Clerk to testify against this? In the more conservative and smaller counties, the far right has a lot of friends? Just wondering.
Democrats know that their overreach has put them in a terrible position next year. The ability to flood the polls with tens of thousands of marginal, uninformed unregistered voters means you can now put your thumb on the scale of any election.
It's more than just the fraud, although the fraud is a huge problem. What Democrats are doing with this bill is diluting the votes of responsible voters with emotionally motivated, marginal, irresponsible unregistered voters they can roust up at the last possible moment.
This bill is a disaster for democracy and for Colorado. If Hickenlooper signs it, everyone will see that Democrats have completed their putsch. This is a terrible day for every responsible citizen.
Just like Idaho. Since they pass this legislation, it's been a absolute Democratic takeover.
"marginal, uninformed voters"
Are you claiming a particular expertise understanding this particular demographic?
Even you know it's all nonsense, right? That no one has shown voter fraud to be a problem? No one has shown that those who register and vote early are more informed? No one has shown same day registration leading to more voter fraud in states that already have it? You do know that in our system, ideally we want all eligible citizens to vote? That calling more voters a threat to democracy is an oxymoron?
You really are pretending to believe all this crap because Rs like you and Gessler and Cadman and Mittens don't like messy democracy that lets the peasants have a voice and want an elite minority in control, right? Or are you truly stupid enough to take your party's spin for consumption by dimwits seriously? Never mind. Sadly, I suspect I knew the answer before I asked.
I see you've found the big bold text feature…
On a more serious note – why is it that the Republican clerks support this and even helped to draft the bill if it's so detrimental?
In fact, it is marginal, emotional, irresponsible low-information voters on the extreme right who have elected some marginal, emotional, irresponsible low-information state Reps and Senators in Colorado. Congrats to those Pols readers who do not live in a District representated by one of these worthless lawmakers.
Why would any responsible citizen who plays by the rules and votes in every election want their vote diluted by somebody who doesn't care enough to even register to vote? That's the question none of YOU can answer.
I'm disgusted.
Since you've never done it before, I suppose I'm wasting my time with this, but could you please articulate how 1303 "tilts the field"?
The "uninformed" are mostly on the red side. "Unregistered"? How? Who? And "marginal"? If by that you mean birthers, truthers, eggers, etc, ok, but, again, that's your crew.
agop, man the fuck up and explain yourself.
Please review your Constitution.
diluted rights?
Hmmm…why would any responsible, law abiding citizen want their right to own and bear arms to be diluted by those with questionable backgrounds? What are they hiding? Why would you oppose background checks?
ArapaGOP says — "I'm disgusted" . . .
That pretty much tells me all I need to know about how much of a good day this was for democracy (small d), freedom, and human rights . . .
ummm… nobody will be able to vote until they register so there still won't be any unregistered voters voting. I'm typing very slowly. You may have to read this a few times, Arapgoof.
The Good Guys win again. Cry all you like, Guppy. Bitterness is all you have left.
"-ing." You write "-ed.' Typo I presume. Yes, you are.
you are also a fucking idiot.
You are so stupid, it sometimes amazes me. Let's look at what you just said again:
If they aren't registered to vote, then they can't "dilute" anything. Because they can't vote. Bluecat already pointed that out to you, but you're very thick, so repetition is required.
Stupid, stupid, stupid… and probably bitter that this hinders your ability to steal elections.
And that's the real problem. It's hard to disenfranchise voters who show up to the polls only to find their registration's been falsely cancelled if they can just re-register at the polling site.
This is the same reasoning presented for poll taxes, voting only by the landed gentry, and election of Senators by State legislatures. All of those have been discarded as outmoded, because we've decided they're crappy ideas.
If someone is motivated enough to show up at a voting center, then they've got motivation. If they're motivated enough to surf over to the SoS's website and register, then motivated enough to provide their proof of ID and signature when voting, then they've shown responsibility and motivation. To say that these people are unmotivated or irresponsible is, well, ignorant.
It makes you wonder, doesn't it? The idea of more people being able to register and vote, when it's convenient for them, thus making more people likely to vote….why should that be so scary to Guppy, Cadman, and Senator Helmet Hair?
They love the second amendment. It's the rest of the constitution, especially all the stuff about democratic elections and all of us, even those of us who aren't affluent white men or the ignorant stooges they convince to vote against their own interests, having the right to vote that they aren't crazy about.
