Progressives wrote Colorado’s “unmanageable” new voting rules, but Jon Caldara of the center-right Independence Institute reminds voters “they are now the rules of elections in Colorado. They are your new voting rights, so you had better use them. Others certainly will.”

What are these new Colorado voting rights?

Under the new law, our ballots are flung through the mail like grocery-store coupons, whether you want them delivered to you that way or not… ballots in the last election were readily found in trash cans and apartment mail rooms, just ready to be harvested.

But even more disturbing, this new law legalizes moving voters around like chess pieces on Election Day to the district where their vote is most needed. Now a voter who merely “intends” to make a different district his home can vote in that district.

And get this: Any enforcement of “voter fraud,” even if it could be caught, happens after the ballots are all counted and recorded. Under this same-day voter registration law, the vagabond voter is handed a ballot when and where he registers. His ballot goes into the ballot box and there’s no yanking it back out.

As the Democrat-controlled Assembly is not likely to repeal the lax new election laws it passed last year, Caldara says Colorado voters “all have the responsibility to learn about our new voter rights and exercise them fully.”
