Proposition 131, The Stealthy Burial of Conservatives in Colorado

Listen up, Colorado. We're facing a ballot measure this year that could be a death knell for Republican victories. It’s called Proposition 131, but I prefer to call it 'The Great Conservative Con job.' It's a wolf in sheep's clothing, a stealthy threat to our conservative values.

Let me lay it out: When our Founding Fathers crafted our electoral system, they prized simplicity, each person, one vote, clear and decisive. Enter Proposition 131, with its utopian promise that even your fourth-choice candidate can matter. It sounds charming, but it's as twisted as an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

Take Alaska's bite at this so-called ranked-choice voting (RCV) apple. It's been such a disaster there that they're scrambling to spit it out. They've had it with the voter confusion, the delayed results, and electoral outcomes that make less sense than a game of musical chairs with the chairs. Why would Colorado want to dive into this debacle?

Proposition 131 is not a benign proposal for more inclusive voting. It's a cunning ploy, designed to dilute conservative votes. Imagine ranking your favorites, only to discover that your top conservative choice has been excluded in the final round because they couldn't win over the centrist and left-leaning crowd.

And let's not overlook the financial burden. Millions from Colorado's coffers will be diverted, not for essential services like roads (potholes) or police, but for educating voters on a system as complex as a college-level calculus problem. Governor Polis may see this as offering more 'choices' to voters, but I see it as creating more opportunities to undermine your vote. Look at Alaska; their RCV experiment led to so much voter disenfranchisement that it’s as if it was designed by someone who wanted to kill the conservative vote hmmmm.

The true kicker? This proposition is floated by big money, not to amplify your conservative voice but to smother it under layers of confusion and complexity. Kent Thiry and his gang want this not for electoral fairness but to ensure their centrist and left candidates always win.

So, my fellow Colorado conservatives, let's not be lured by the call of "more choices." Proposition 131 isn't a step forward; it's a maze designed to silence our conservative values. This November, let’s vote NO on Proposition 131. We need our elections straightforward, no-nonsense, and unequivocally conservative.
