Default Re: What's the frequency, Colorado?

Well, the State of Colorado had their Primary this week. And in the 4th Congressional District, Boebert the Bimbo took the ReThuglican nomination.

I have yet to examine the turnout numbers, much, but I can say that in our county, she came in third. only a little over 100 dolts voted for her.

And, She only took the district with 43% but when there are five candidates, that seems to be enough.

The bad news, only a bit over 1600 of the 5700 or so people in the county bothered to vote, at all.
In a state of nearly four million registered voters, Less than a million actually voted.
Reports of "Voter Apathy" seem to be substantiated.
And it also seems that the "Sqeaky Wheel Syndrome" is alive and well.

And, as expected, drunk driving woman beater Greg Lopez will indeed serve out the rest of Ken Buck's term in the House of Reps, which lasts until the 118th Congress ends in early January 2025.

Eastern Colorado well and truly covered itself in glory last night. :D
