All mail voting advocate goes down to defeat: Giron did all she could to tilt the elections process in her favor. During the January to May session she had been preparing a complete re-write of Colorado election law: same-day voter registration, mandatory all mail-in ballots, virtually no residency requirements and no photo voter ID. Abolish the precinct polling place and reduce the role of citizen election judges. After it was apparent that there was a recall effort against her, she struck the provision in the law that said recall elections must be conducted in person, at polling locations. Like every other election, they were to be all mail-in. To understand the significance of this, it should be noted that mail-in ballots are the tool of choice for election fraud, according to author John Fund’s newest book on election integrity, Who’s counting?: How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk. Giron’s bill was written behind closed doors. It was introduced at the last opportunity, no debate, no amendments—just like Morse’s gun bills and a host of other legislation this session. What she forgot—or perhaps didn’t know—was that the Colorado Constitution guarantees candidates the right to petition on to the ballot up to fifteen days before an election.”
“The big excuse offered by both Giron and Morse—one wonders whether this, too, is being centrally managed—is that the election process itself was unfair. That pill is ultimately impossible to swallow.
