Very simply, in the November 7, 2023 election, the Colorado Secretary of State's web site reporting ballot returns was reporting more ballots counted on Proposition HH than the total number of ballots received, by over 142,000, as described in more detail below from my local newsletter.


Election Magic - Did the Curtain Slip? Why do card sharps wear long sleeves?
Hypothetically, of course, if you controlled the software that reports voting results, and you assumed that not all cast ballots would vote one way or another on a particular issue important to you, you might consider slipping in some numbers favoring your position that no one would notice. So if 100 ballots were cast but of those 20 didn’t bother voting on your issue, you might get away with slipping in a few numbers no one would notice, up to 20, or so you hope.

I listened to the Dick Wadhams interview with Dan Caplis.🔗

He is the mouthpiece for the profiteering, equivocating faction of the GOP. They want us to believe that open primaries and pandering to the unaffiliated is how things have been all along and we’re attempting some sort of radical never-been-done-before coup by only allowing Republicans to vote for our candidates. It’s a gaslighting technique that has, regrettably, worked on a fair number of Republicans.

The exact opposite is true: Colorado primaries were closed until a mere seven years ago. The radical change was opening them and all the woes this party has borne in election cycles since are directly correlated to open primaries.
So why does Dick Wadhams and the consultant class of the GOP fight so ferociously to protect open primaries? Could it be that they’re making money on these campaigns? We already know that petition candidates are good sources of revenue and many, if not most, of the GOP candidates on the general ballots since open primaries have been petition candidates.

It is also noteworthy that crises make for great fundraising opportunities. Fear-mongering to the GOP faithful has undoubtedly been successful for groups like Advance Colorado, Peak Republicans, et al. If the GOP were successful and there was no imminent threat from tyrannical Dems, their crisis funding would dry up.

"OhGod!OhGod!OhGod!OhGod!OhGod!OhGod!OhGod!"

It wasn't much of a prayer, but apparently, it worked.  She skidded to a stop, stood up and brushed at her jeans - while the boys in the small truck she had just fallen out of completed the left-hand turn in front of me and pulled over on the side of the road to pick her up.

My light turned green and I drove across the intersection and pulled to a stop behind them.

"JesusChrist!JesusChrist!JesusChrist!JesusChrist!JesusChrist!"

The boys were using the name as an expletive.  They nervously shoved their long hair out of their eyes - more for the sake of doing something with their hands than trying to see.  They looked like they were trying to shake themselves out of a bad dream - dumbfounded that their friend was just standing there, unhurt.

Wide-eyed, they came over to my car window.  "Jesus Christ!" they said at me.
