Colorado’s growing industry of Bad Ideas is now pursuing jailhouse ballot collection services for inmates who haven’t committed serious enough crimes to lose their right to vote.
Sure, non-felons can already vote.
But leftist advocates insist our incarcerated citizens are too stupid to do mail in voting on their own and require the help of ballot harvesters in person voting.
Criminal Justice Reform Coalition is already helping Denver inmates vote.
Now they’re working with Democrat state Sen. Julie Gonzales on legislation to require in-person voting events at every jail and prison across Colorado.
Cook County, Illinois already does it, and look how that’s worked out for Chicago!
Cringe.
Kyle Giddings, civic engagement coordinator for the coalition, told Law Week Colorado:
“Chicago has really set a lot of good standards for how to do in-person voting, and we’re excited to take some of their models and continue that trend here in Denver, in Colorado and across our great state,” said Giddings.
They’re in a rush to get the legislation passed in Colorado so they can start harvesting collecting ballots in Colorado for the Democrats to win the 2024 presidential election.
“But our hope is that individuals who are confined to a jail or detention center would be able to vote in the presidential election. We are currently doing stakeholding meetings with the county clerk and recorder association as well as the sheriffs to make a game plan and make sure that their voices are heard in this process to make sure that we’re not just going over that.”
This is why Republicans loose elections.
Democrats get laws passed to help them target voters who will support their party, while conservatives sit around and complain that the election process is not fair.
Granted, this particular tactic probably wouldn’t work for conservative activists, seeing as how jail inmates are not likely supporters of tough on crime candidates that make up the Republican Party.
And Criminal Justice Reform Coalition was formed to defund prisons, so they literally have a captive audience from which to recruit voters.
