Dem Election Fraud In Play During Recall Elections?

[RugersGR8]

IMHO, it was very much in play--considering that the new election reform legislation in question was sponsored by Sen. Angela Giron, who is also facing a recall - essentially allows anyone who has lived in Colorado for at least 22 days to vote in the recalls. Just call it part of the lib's defintion of a "Level Playing Field".

They're counting on the influx of granola lovers moving to John Denver's Far Out State to influence elections.

Just goes to show you how far the dims in that state have gone to make voter fraud legal. I would hope someone with a couple of brain cells challenges this law before their next major election as I could imagine a LOT of abuse coming from this down the road.

everyone I know that's moved there in the last year is pro gun. They may be granola loving bohemians, but they're well armed granola loving bohemians.

Am I the only one that finds the irony in this?

It's bull$hit like this that disgusts people so much that they just stay home. The process is being corrupted and transformed into a complete farce. And Giron is crying voter suppression? Jeeze.

Edit: Okay maybe I was wrong. Seems that the turnout was heavily weighted to the dimocraps and she still lost her a$$.

The ululations of gun-grabbing Democrats here in my adopted home state are reverberating far and wide. Appearing on cable TV Thursday to answer the question "What happened?" Pueblo State Sen. Angela Giron sputtered that she lost her seat due to "voter suppression." Giron whined to CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin that voters "weren't able to get to the polls" and that there was "voter confusion."



"Voter confusion"? My goodness. You'd think there were no public libraries, local television stations, talk radio, newspapers, blogs, Facebook, Twitter or government websites to get information about the elections. (Oh, and pay no attention to the massive 6-to-1 spending advantage that Giron and her fellow recall target John Morse, formerly the president of the state Senate, enjoyed.)

"Voter suppression"? Dios mio! You'd think there were New Black Panther Party thugs standing outside the polls shouting racist epithets and waving police batons!

But no, there was no "voter confusion" or "voter suppression." In fact, as the Colorado Peak Politics blog pointed out, the "majority of turnout in (Giron's) district was Democrat, by a large margin. And she still lost. Voter suppression (is) not even believable."

Giron lost in her Obama-loving Democratic Senate District 3 by a whopping 12 points. The only significant complaint about voter suppression came after the polls closed -- and not from anyone in the district, but from out-of-state Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wah-wah-wah-sserman Schultz of Florida. The majority of constituents who signed the recall petitions against her were, um, Democrats. Would Giron care to argue that voters from the same party that put her in office are too dumb and confused to comprehend her state's own Constitution and election process?

Giron was defeated not by elite Republicans and nefarious NRA bigwigs, but by a former Clinton supporter/police chief/campaign neophyte and a couple of upstart citizen activists who make a living as plumbers.

Grassroots organizers in both Pueblo and El Paso counties with little to no previous electoral experience researched the state constitution's recall provisions and put in the hard nose-to-the-ground work of gathering thousands of petition signatures in a brief period. They did their homework, adhered to the law and made their voices heard. As I've reported in my column over the past several months, it was a David vs. gun-grabbing Goliath battle from the start.

Only after the local citizens got the ball rolling -- catching flack from establishment GOP types who initially opposed the disruptive process -- did national organizations weigh in with help. And the campaign cash they provided was still no match for nosybody Bloomberg, Vice President Joe Biden (who personally lobbied state Democratic legislators) and their gun control-freak company.

The significance of this unprecedented battle cannot be overstated. Self-government won. Demagoguery lost. All the Bloomberg bucks in the world couldn't buy immunity for his water-carriers in Colorado. The role of Second Amendment-supporting, limited-government-advocating local women in pushing back against false smears was invaluable. The "reproductive rights" fear-mongering failed. And the use of social media to organize echoed other successful tea party efforts.

So when are they going to recall their Governor?

 

[RugersGR8]

Even a Denver CBS local station covered the story. Too bad it didn't get the 24/7 coverage that it should have gotten on the national CBS snews with Scott Pelley.
