How Did Conservative Colorado Go So Progressive, So Fast?
This article in American Thinker begs the same question asked in this series: How did this happen? There certainly was an Alinsky-like blueprint put together nearly two decades ago to undermine and pervert Colorado’s natural independence, rugged individualism and conservative values. But it proved insufficient to make the strides necessary for big wins: until 2018. What changed in the meantime?
We can talk about newcomers from out of state bringing liberal and leftist values with them: but that would not account for the numbers produced in 2018 or 2020. Nobody questions the impact these folks (cultural interlopers) have had on cities like Austin, Texas, but it started back in the 1970s and despite all manner of predictions about Texas going blue, it did not happen in 2020. Of course, Texas did not go with DVS (see Part 5) and that might be the difference…
Many of us who moved (back to) Colorado did so because of emerging political tyranny and stupidity in former states like Virginia and the lure of individualism embodied in the Centennial State culture.
We’ve already gone through (Part 2) myriad dogmatic changes in election policy that began in 2013, many of which read like the “don’ts” portion of the Baker-Carter Election Commission, culminating in the 2020 blanket mailing of ballots to a reported 4.6 million registered voters when the math indicates Colorado should have ~3.7 million: no doubt inflated by the fact that 40 of 64 counties have over 100% of eligible voters registered.
We’ve discussed the growth of Unaffiliated Voters increasing some ~600K in the last 5 years or so to become the dominant force in Colorado politics. Notwithstanding their apparent independence from the two-party system-which affords the opportunity to vote in either party primary-these voters exhibited odd patterns that belie their status. Their-our- dual ballot options in primaries adds 600K extra ballots into “voter-land.”
For instance, “hating” all things DJT but voting overwhelmingly that you must be a citizen to vote in Colorado. Yet seemingly not showing up in the same numbers on the issue of allowing Colorado electoral College votes to align with states we have nothing in common with, the genesis of which was certainly a “spite” or spoiler vote in the event Trump lost the popular vote but would prevail in the electoral college. This initiative underperformed the citizenship ballot initiative by ~400K votes while passing by a slim margin. Coincidently close to the amount DJT lost by.
The other big change is the implementation in 2015 of the Dominion Voting System (DVS) in 62 of 64 counties across Colorado. This was a big step for the state, but did that step potentially contribute in some way to election outcomes that would not otherwise have happened?
I believe it did through the adjudication process. The last three elections-2016, 2018 and 2020- radically changed the landscape of Colorado. I walked through a number of ways this could have happened throughout Parts 1-5B using cloud computing and analytics resident in DVS software, bolstered with a modeling and simulation (M&S) capable software suite-Microsoft Sequel Server database.
Some have postulated that if there was mischief, mass distribution of mail-in ballots “stuffed” into collection drop boxes is the likely culprit: I don’t believe that theory is plausible due to the sheer numbers. With a voting window of less than a month and the two major races-President and Senator-having separation of some ~430K and ~300K votes respectively, such a task would have required the generation of over 10K ballots a day during the entire window to create the delta. Which is certainly not impossible, but likely improbable…
The anomalies I listed in Part 2 of this series points to software manipulation of key races and issues and only one solution fits the bill to accomplish such a massive volume of ballots: the DVS adjudication process-and that’s not to say DVS did the dirty deed, as they would not have (should not have been) authorized to decision adjudications: but the machines could certainly generate the opportunities.
I can imagine some type of conversation between a Colorado SOS official and her trusty DVS support technician lead like the following: “OMG, the 62 DVS machines in Colorado have staged 260K votes for adjudication statewide (winky, winky.) I think 54.6% of those went for candidates X (Joe Biden and John Chickenpooper,) while 45.4% went for candidates Y (Bad Orange Man and Cory Gardiner.) It is going to take forever to clear the adjudication backlog. What do you recommend???”
No amount of talking or writing about this process is going to shed light on or resolve whether the final vote tally was just the way the cookie crumbed, or truly the product of “anomalies,” without getting to the bottom of the who, what, where, when, why, and how (5Ws and H) these processes unfolded. I’ve touched upon what I believe to be the main culprit in this election and will state it again at the risk of belaboring-again-how I believe this happened.
The Colorado Secretary of State (SOS) undertook an effort to increase voter participation by mailing ballots to all 4.6 million registered Colorado voters 18-22 days before the election. The vast majority of these ballots (nearly 80%) were returned via drop boxes.
According to Ballotpedia, these ballots can be opened and entered into the system upon receipt. In Colorado an entity of or sanctioned by the SOS was scanning these ballots into the system (which I assume was DVS,) performed an action to decrement them from the official Consolidated/Central Voter Registry/File (CVF,) processed them and then sent mail reminders throughout the election window to notify those who had not returned a ballot that there was still time to vote.
Whoever did this processing had access to a valuable list of names of those who had not yet voted. This information could easily have been used to build an M&S projection of how the election was going (rough approximation) and who needed how many votes simply by doing running totals as the ballots entered the system.
So the SOS-aided by the DVS-had running totals building toward election day, as well as access to a list of those who had not yet voted. To repeat an earlier point, ballots were mailed to 4.6 million names and at least ~3.3 million voted in the presidential election, some ~400K more than voted in the 2018 election and ~600K more than in 2016. Also, 660K voters registered as Unaffiliated voters.
I could hypothesize-and I have-a number of ways there could have been shenanigans within the DVS process to elevate the names of those yet to return ballots into the system (simply by turning the voter reminder list into candidate ballots) that would be processed within the system, flagged for adjudication (since they were blank) and then dispositioned.
Does that mean that potentially 1.4 million votes were handled this way? Who knows: that would have provided way more numbers than necessary, but enough to cover the “belt and suspenders” approach of anyone determined to find the win. But is that a possibility? What would stop somebody from doing just that?
The only way to get to the bottom of some of these hypothesized outcomes is a true forensic audit: not a sample of ballots, or the so-called “Risk Limiting Audit,” which I’ve likened to a bank counting machine processing 100 dollar bills-coming up with the right number each time, but unable to determine a real one from a forgery. What would be required is an actual forensic audit of all ballots that could confirm that Colorado is indeed the leading voting Mecca in the land, that we actually had an 87% turnout rate and accomplished the majority of all of it through the less costly methodology of the overwhelming number of ballots submitted by mail.
With an incredible, unbelievable, unprecedented, miracle-like low ballot rejection rate-some ~49K that curing enabled to reduce to 11K or less than 3/10ths of 1% when the average is routinely over 5%.
I would advocate looking at only two races for such a forensic audit -the president and senatorial, as well as the ballot initiative regarding the need to be a US citizen to vote in Colorado-and maybe the electoral college initiative. I realize this ends up being big numbers, but if I’ve belabored anything in this series it is the ease with which these machines can handle these trivial numbers.
The same CVF used to send mail reminders to those who had not yet voted could be used to send coded email or post-card questions or web access passcodes soliciting who people voted for in the two federal races. The beauty of doing this via the same mechanism (particularly if DVS) is it would be just as easy as sending the reminders in the first place (a simple task for the aforementioned Microsoft Sequel Server Database.)
The forensic audit has actually already been done for Mesa County, which is the point of this story and the problem for Tina Peters: she caught them. Audits obviously cost money. But election integrity is important enough for our elected representative to take any steps necessary to validate the process that led to the results. How long would such an audit take to accomplish? With a little software engineering, a website, a link to the sequel database, it would be child’s play to accomplish such an action.
There is almost no-chance Colorado will do such a thing under the current regime in charge in Denver. While I’m ordinarily not a big fan of the argument that if you have nothing to hide you should submit to anything that is burdensome, such an action would go a long way to confirm that even with all these “innovations” in the election process since 2013, Colorado indeed has a “bullet-proof” process, and the state has indeed turned significantly to the left over the past 3 years.
At the very least it will provide important, cautionary information for those looking at Colorado as one of the few remaining bastions of rugged individualism in the United States. That has already undertaken burdensome anti-2d Amendment policy at state and local levels, including against the AR15 platform, introducing a bullet serial number initiative, limiting magazine capacity to 10 bullets (obviously not ranchers who respond to roving packs of coyotes-and now wolves, given the ballot initiative that passed) among other silly ideas.
How could such a thing happen here is a good question. Consider that during the ridiculous aftermath of the Michael Brown propaganda in 2014 characterized by the tried-and-true fund raising bumper sticker, “hands up, don’t shoot,” the lie that ruined an already economically devastated city of Ferguson, MO and proved a great boon for both ANTIFA and the Black Liberation Revival Movement, Colorado was motivated to act (apparently in support of its ~4% black population.)
I was TDY (Temporary Duty) in Aurora that week and had the misfortune of having two improbable experiences with the ramifications of the Michael Brown aftermath. Some of the folks I supervised worked in St. Louis and had to pass through Ferguson on the commute to work: many discovered it was a bad time to be caught “white” while driving, but others of color were also accosted on the highway just driving through. The only plausible recourse was to have them work from home (telecommute) for what stretched out to almost two weeks.
In Denver and Aurora several local schools took it upon themselves to sanction “protests” by schoolchildren, letting them out of school to parade up and down the busy streets surrounding Aurora, reportedly for extra credit. The “precious little ducklings” had police escorts-motorcycle units-and traffic coordinators-since it is not smart to march down busy thoroughfares.
I was about the 50th car in a lane of traffic, in somewhat of a hurry to get to my next meeting out by Buckley Aerospace Data Facility, and a police officer passed by. I rolled down the window and asked what the heck was going on? His answer said it all: (paraphrased)-“we have some radical, leftist teachers who thought it would be a “civic duty” for the children to show their support for Michael Brown-for extra credits. Our mayor declared it was a safety issue for the kids and we have two dozen cops out here making sure nobody gets hit by a car.” I asked if parents know their kids are parading up and down some of the busiest connectors in Aurora like grown people when they think they are in school learning? He just shrugged and moved on.
These kids have been playing at the social justice warrior “thingie” ever since and are all “growed” up now (7 years later.) They later showed up as ANTIFA warriors fighting fascist cars on the highway leading to the Denver airport-in Aurora (surprise,) attempted to stop a jeep on I225 (speed limit 65 MPH) that was trying to catch a flight after a wonderful Colorado trip. After failing to stop it by shooting the tire out, they lit it up with an AK/AR15 platform weapon, shooting protestors across from them in the most ironic crossfire ever.
No one laughs when I mention they bagged the “real fascists” (so I won’t.)
Denver has been a cesspool of activity where ANTIFA and BLM show up and trash the downtown area and disappear with no one the wiser and nobody charged. The homeless camped out mere blocks from the capital have complained about the violence and disruption to their “daily life:” which is ironic and funny, but not haha. Students in Boulder also had a COVID lockdown break-out that turned violent.
Big threat to world peace Michele Malkin was accosted at an annual “Back the Blue” rally which turned violent when the cops were given a standdown order by the mayor and the ANTIFA thugs beat the organizers and speakers who were there to support the police (perhaps the “irony in civic action” award winner.) Malkin quit politics after this incident, as it was too dangerous for law supporting viewpoints in public in Colorado.
There was also the assassination of one of Tig’s group by a “security guard” employed by a local news station when Patriots and ANTIFA/BLM protestors clashed in Denver. He was shot point blank in the forehead at close range: and the assassin got off on a self-defense plea.
So, yes, how could these things happen here???
