Prop 131 Will DESTROY Democracy
Ranked Choice Voting will Destroy Colorado
"We have never seen anything like this in the 148 year history of CO Elections."
-Scott Gessler, Former CO Secretary of State
Jungle Primary
Ranked Choice Voting begins with an all-candidate primary. All candidates who petition on to the ballot will show up on a single primary ballot. Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Third-Party Candidates will all appear on the ballot. Voters will be asked to choose one candidate out of the long list (In Alaska, 48 candidates were on the ballot). The Top 4 Candidates from the Primary will appear on the General Election ballot. There is no limit on how many candidates from each party may move on.

It’s “Open Primaries” on steroids. Not just open to unaffiliated voters, but to voters of All Parties, or no party!
-
Ends the Party System, the Party Platform, the marketplace of ideas.
-
Creates a uniparty, hivemind candidate, eliminating diverse opinion.

Designed to silence the “fringe” points of view, like Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Border and America-First voices.
-
All voters may sign all petitions and all voters will participate in the primary races.

Candidates chosen by a false “majority.”

WARNING
Colorado voters need to wake up and stop this ultimate power grab from taking away our right to choose our own leadership. #131 will be marketed as a means to “modernize our elections and improve the quality of candidates.” It does neither. It is a reckless political experiment that will reduce Colorado voters to serfs of the state. If the measure passes by a simple majority, our party system and the marketplace of ideas that we know as the caucus and assembly system will be gone forever. Few will be able to administer the complicated process and questioning it will be impossible. It further removes the vote from the people and places it into the hands of government to determine the outcome.
Colorado voters need to wake up!
