How Colorado’s all mail ballot system benefits the political left
Complete Colorado ^ | November 1, 2018 | Jon Caldara

Colorado is one of only three states that run their elections with all-mail ballots. The other two are the west coast progressive strongholds of Washington and Oregon... So, between this and Jared Polis’s goal of 100% renewable energy five years sooner than California’s unreachable goal, we’re out-Californicating California...

Colorado mandated all-mail ballots the last time the Democrats controlled both the state house and senate, 2013. And it fundamentally changed electioneering

...

We used to have an election day, a 12-hour period for civically minded folks to get to their neighborhood polling place and exercise their voice. Voting was for those with just the tiniest bit of motivation. Political machines had only 12 hours to get “their people” physically to the polls. We no longer have election day. We have election month

...

Big Data tells us with surprising accuracy how you will vote. And two, we know if and when you voted, giving plenty of time to pressure you to vote, assuming big data tells us you’ll vote our way.

When you return your ballot, or vote at a polling center, the Secretary of State’s Office must announce to the world that you voted, not how you voted. This report is made available daily.

...

Colorado is currently the only all-mail state that has same-day voter registration. This means that if, as they are counting their votes during “election month,” a campaign sees there still aren’t enough votes to win, they can go out and make brand new voters.

This is particularly effective in college towns where there are out-of-staters just hanging around for the harvesting. With only a utility bill, no photo ID required, a person can register to vote and vote at the same time. As was the case in Boulder recently

I voted and sent in my mail ballot in Colorado in yesterday and I’m on the Right.

how is this different than when union bosses used to require the tank to vote?

It’s EASY to generate mail for all those who didn’t bother to vote.

And you know they were all on your side anyway...

Then again, I live in a small town.

Early voting is great and I may not be able to keep Polis from becoming Governor but I feel I did my part for our President.

Life can give you lemons but there’s lemonade, too.

Voted on the western slope almost 2 weeks ago. You have to win elections to change things, and you have to deal with the ground as it is in the meantime.

Concerns are running high over door-to-door campaign workers asking voters for their mail-in ballots in what is known as “ballot harvesting.”

people coming to the door and gathering ballots and doing whatever they want to them,” said Marilyn Marks, president of the Aspen-based Citizen Center, which focuses on election integrity.

-2- The mischief from the large number of previously inactive / dead voters now in the system.

“I guarantee you right now if you went to an apartment complex anywhere in Colorado, you would find ballots in the trash can,” Mr. Harvey said. “If you went to the Highlands Ranch post office right now, where they have P.O. boxes, you would find a ton of ballots in the trash can. You and I could go there, and we could pick up those ballots, and we could vote. That concerns me greatly.”

“Voting Month” in Colorado and other states is an open invitation for election fraud.

Democrats are going to apartment complexes to find blank ballots in the trash can.

There are many avenues for voter fraud. Crack down on the fraud and many DIMs will see the light of day.

It’s Colorado GOPs fault of not challenging it in court

Having lived in Colorado back in the 70’s, early 80’s, at that time it was a pretty good place to live...……………...then people in California decided they had enough of that hell hole and decided to seek more opportunities in the “Mountain” state. Problem is, they brought all their crazy ideas with them and things quickly turned sour. Seeing the writing on the wall, we relocated back to the mid-west to avoid what Colorado is today.

I'm surprised the left doesn't protest all mail-in voting as suppressing minority and homeless voters, in the same way that requiring voter ID supposedly does.

But then again, nobody really knows who is filling out those ballots, and I wouldn't put it past the Dims to offer some 'walking around money' for every blank ballot turned in to a voting 'assistant.'

If all one needs is a mailing address and some phantom method of registration, then all mail ballots completely eliminates the chance to verify voters are legitimate.

This system is ripe for vote fraud from the left.
