OK, Liz Cheney, yes the daughter of Darth Vader himself, has just endorsed Kamala. Not a super-big surprise really, but her message took a little extra dig at the vote-wasters:
So did her brother Jim. He went a step further and switched his registration. He's now a Democrat. The cemetery episode was the last straw for him: https://apnews.com/article/jimmy-mccain-endorse-kamala-harris-vance-31556735c27e032f19799af14ab0b9d2
Colorado Secretary of State put out the regular monthly report on Voter Registrations. August gains in Active Registrations that were over 1,000 and the new totals: (numbers won’t add up due to other minor party registrations)
PARTY ….. ….. AUGUST GAIN ….. TOTAL
Democrats ….. ….. 10,504 ….. 1,008,115
No Labels ….. ….. 1,686 ….. 12,293
Republicans ….. 5,023 ….. 901,749
Unaffiliated ….. ….. 20,776 ….. 1,883,376
Total ….. ….. ….. 38,350 ….. 3,872,161
Context is that after January 6, 2021, Republicans took a dip in comparison to Democrats, and since then, have been close to equivalent (and slowly getting enough to offset the dip). There seems to be a surge in enthusiasm for the Democrats.
Wow, even by my C- level math ability, it looks like UAFs have almost caught up with Ds and Rs combined!
My limited imagination struggles to comprehend the volume of mailers unaffiliated must get during elections.
So far, none.
Well for unaffiliated in CD3 and CD8
Why anyone is registered to a party is beyond me.
You only get 1/2 the primary ballots.
I would probably agree with that, Barnes, if it wasn't for extremist MAGA. It will take some type of power structure to fight against a far-right takeover, and a scattered assortment of unaffiliated voters won't do as much as an organized party to raise enough money and assemble enough people-power to advertise and canvass and match the other organization toe-to-toe. I do understand there are other ways to organize, but none of them are going to match the Democratic Party for sheer volume right now. I do disagree with Dems time to time, sometimes vehemently, but I'm glad it's still a strong party, warts and all.
If there was an organized guerrilla effort to usurp control of the Republican party in Colorado which resulted in secret left wing agents sabotaging Republican party… There isn't. THERE ISNT.

Russian disinfo campaign paid right-wing (TP USA) agitators, and helped increase their audience.
I've had a couple of "whatabout" conversations regarding Venezualan gangs taking over an apartment complex in Aurora, and then a motorcycle gang going out there to umm, "something-something-something". It didn't make much sense to me, does anyone know anything about it?
Republican scare stories are inevitably between 90% and 110% fabricated BS.
Exactly MartinMark. I was thinking the other day that I should check out whether or not it was true that a Venezuelan gang had taken over that apartment building in Aurora, then again I thought why bother. Time for them to go back to the drawing board and gin up some other kind of bullshit.
The Aurora apartments did not evict all their residents because of Venezuelan gangs.
It was a slumlord, , under the ownership of out of town property investors, who had neglected these properties for decades, with the city's tacit acceptance. A Doug Bruce situation.
Right wing pundits just wanted another scare tactic to get folks riled up about the
"Scary immigrants and the open borders". There are gangsters of various allegiances in some of the apartment complexes, but the Aurora PD is more or less on top of that situation.
Odds are the slumlord shares a political affiliation with Dougie?
Exactly kwtree. Now the orange turd himself is claiming the Tren de Aragua has taken over "a large section of the town". Lies, lies, lies.
If I lived in Aurora, I would be much more afraid of the Tre Tre Crips than the Venezuelans. Though I'd be most afraid of the city council majority and Mayor Mike
Yep. The same folks who claim to love America harder than I do are the same ones who can't find a good thing to say about our country.
