Libertarians Accidentally Do Something Helpful

Normally the function of the Libertarian party is to insure that the least popular candidate gets elected. This time it's not working out that way.

Our upcoming recall elections for Senators Morse and Giron (D-New York, both of them) was to be the first held under the Dems new Vote Fraud Enabling Act of 2013, i.e. all mail in ballots except for gypsies who evince an interest in relocating to the scene of the election, weather they actually do or not. Recall elections don't normally get a lot of participation, so with ballots sent to every single person on the voter rolls, expect a lot of them to get tossed. Makes it worth while to dive the dumpsters behind apartment buildings when the ballots arrive.

The Colorado constitution gives candidates for office until 10 days before the election to get their petitions in and signatures verified to put their names on the ballot. The Republicans got this done quickly, but problems developed due to the 60 day elapsed time between the declaration of the election and the actual voting. The Libs sued to get the extra time to submit petitions even though that meant that ballots would not be ready to mail out in time for the election, especially to absentee voters overseas. Backdoor disfranchisement of the troops, sort of, so the all mail in vote fraud festival was cancelled.

The election was changed to a conventional walk-in format, which the Dems are trying to say is unconstitutional, but so far to no avail. The Libs, were not able to collect enough signatures to get on the ballots, so the election looks like it will be as honest as any around here and word on the street is that this favors tossing the bums and replacing them.

At this point I would like to thank the Dems for demanding an unworkable election format which the courts tossed out, and the Libs for not fouling the ballot this time and making the vote fraud law unworkable. Hope springs eternal.

Look for the busloads of folks motoring on down to the Springs and Pueblo to peruse real estate and vote in the elections, although the local election commissions say they'll be watching too. Very carefully.
