Since a lot of you are new since @ProjectLincoln blasted out a column (THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING!), I thought I'd share a few more columns y'all might like.
I'm a little late, but the #TinaPetersTrial is back on this morning.
She is a county clerk on trial for multiple felonies related to her role as an Election Denier working with Mike Lindell.
You can watch here:
/2 It is probably the most important pre-November trial in the country - even more than Trump's.
Election Deniers in public office as county clerks pose an existential threat to our democracy. The #TinaPetersTrial will be critical to keeping them in check.
/3 Peters's attorney is cross-examining a witness from the Mesa County Clerk's Office.
Objections against his questions keep getting sustained.
Watching the #January6thCommitteeHearings focused on the pressure campaign against former VP @Mike_Pence and it occurred to me that he is effectively a real, live version of our maligned #GOT character.
I received my ballot in the mail a couple days ago and this thread will be an "unboxing" and explanation of voting in the primary for unaffiliated voters with sprinkles of how well our #VoteByMail systems work.
/2 So we are all on the same page, Colorado has a universal vote by mail system.
That means a ballot is mailed out to every registered voter. They can return it in multiple ways:
- by mail
- drop it in a drop box
- drop it off at a polling place
/3 Upon opening the envelope, one of the first things to come out is a handy instruction pamphlet.
It explains LOTS OF STUFF! What is in the packet, how to vote, where to return your ballot, how to track it, and how to determine the security of the election.
