The Democratic-leaning issue committee is supporting Proposition CC, which seeks to eliminate state spending caps under TABOR. Turnout among Democrats for the 2019 election has been low.
Coloradans for Prosperity, a deep-pocketed group working to pass Proposition CC on Novembers ballot, has been sending people a voter report card in an effort to boost turnout.
The report cards grade recipients on their recent voting record compared to their neighbors, urging them to cast their ballots. Some voters have been frustrated by the mailers, however, saying they incorrectly give them a poor mark on their turnout.
Public records indicate that you voted less often than your neighbors in recent elections, the mailer reads. Raise your grade by voting in the 2019 general election in November.

Vote NO on Proposition CC! Tell liberal special interests to take their effort to gut TABOR and shove it where the sun dont shine.
you are added. thanks
Does anyone have a conservative voter’s guide for the rest of the ballot?
From what Ive read, Ill be voting no on both ofem.
How is it legal for anyone to investigate how or if you voted? Why isn't that private?
Kind of like the social score Red China gives out to its people.
Voters are registered with the local governments which sponsor elections. You are generally registered as a RAT, a Republican, or unenrolled. Also, if you voted in a primary, it's a pretty good bet that you voted for that party in the general election.
Why isn't that private?
Because it's a matter of public record.
The voter lists are usually available to the candidates or the party's county committee.
Coloradans for Prosperity must be trying to play off of the organization called Americans for Prosperity. I’ve gotten voter guide type cards from AfP (no grading of my record) but nothing from the former, CfP.
AfP recommended a NO vote on Prop. CC which is what I was going to vote anyway. Once in a while these voter guide mailings tell me something I don’t know but 95% of the time they’re useless to me.
It is a scam in my neighborhood too. I received one with a C- grade even though I have voted in every election , even local ones, for decades. EIGHT of my neighbors on the mail ( only first names) all got A’s. I asked my next door neighbor if he got one of those fliers too. He said he did and HE was the one with the C- and eight of his neighbors, including myself all got A’s
“I voted NO on all the propositions. And threw that “report card” in the trash.”
ditto
This is the last defense against becoming California. Coloradans have to protect these laws because they will attempt to remove them every single election.
But it seems to me every single time there is a ballot there is at least one ballot initiative/issue brought up where the State government is trying to get out from under TABOR. I freakin' love TABOR (Taxpayer Bill of Rights) - that limits the amount of taxes the State can collect.
This year there are two propositions and both are trying to get around TABOR. One blatantly just wants to eliminate it, one is trying to set a precedent of taxing "around" it. No way, TABOR is one of the few remaining good things about living here.
Every time these initiatives are couched in terms that sound so good, so appealing who could possibly be against them? Who doesn't want improved water management? Or law enforcement? Or firefighting, or roads, etc. etc. They always try to make it sound great, all upside, trust us, we'll take good care of your money, we'll even allow an indepdent audit of the money we collect under this new initiative. (but apparently not what they do with other funds)...
Haven’t seen/heard how it’s polling, I hope it goes down in flames.
I just drove by my voting area, and they still have walk-in voting.
Vote today in the local county courthouse. No to everything.
In this state, idiot lib voters in the Denver suburbs and Boulder decide the outcome of elections.
Whats a small rural county voter supposed to do?
“No to everything.”
that’ always a good default position, even if one knows zero about the issues ...
