Colorado Saves Democracy By Not Allowing People To Vote For Preferred Candidate

DENVER, CO — In a heroic effort to save American Democracy, the Colorado Supreme Court has voted to prevent residents of Colorado from voting for their preferred candidate.

"I love democracy, and this is why we had to vote to overrule the millions of Colorado citizens who want to elect Trump through the democratic process," said Colorado Justice and white woman Melissa Hart after the vote. "Trump is a terrifying orange man and if he's elected he will likely grow to over 50 feet and rampage through the country killing people with his laser eyes. Our democracy is too precious for us to allow that to happen."

After Justice Hart's statement, the three other justices who voted with her stood and clapped in approval.

Democracy experts also applauded this democracy-subverting move to make sure democracy wasn't subverted. "Just think. If 4 people in robes hadn't taken away the voting rights of millions, we would have lost our democracy!" said journalist and democracy expert Linda Florgbott. "Thank God we saved it just in time."

At publishing time, Trump had gained another 12% in Colorado polls.

From pages 8-9....

"But for our resolution of the Electors’ challenge under the Election Code,the Secretary would be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot.

Therefore, to maintain the status quo pending any review by the U.S. Supreme Court, we stay our ruling until January 4, 2024 (the day before the Secretary’s deadline to certify the content of the presidential primary ballot). If review is sought in the Supreme Court before the stay expires on January 4, 2024, then the stay shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court."

Their "ruling" was just to GRAB A HEADLINE....nothing more! They STAYED their own ruling until January 4th, the day before the deadline, then INDEFINATELY thereafter. Trump will STILL BE ON THE BALLOT for the primary.

Those people do too many “recreational drugs”. Drugs are the only way they can get it up.

Once again The Bee crosses over from satire into what is more than likely a very accurate observation.

I respectfully disagree. This CO SC ruling is to train the public drip by drip that we should get used to the Dim overlords deciding who is on the ballot. This time it’s a meaningless gesture. The next time it’s a real “attempt” that will be easily undone, with us glad that we won that time. Then after that the Dims will be the only ones deciding who’s on the ballots.
