This year, all citizens in Colorado were mailed ballots.  LOVE LOVE voting by mail.  [NOTE: designated drop boxes are located throughout the County, if one wants save postage on the ballot return 🙂  Louisville’s [box] is at the local Police Station.]

registered Libertarian…but kinda all over the board this year with my vote.

voted: Libertarian twice, Republican thrice & Democrat 4 times (2 Democrats ran uncontested).

7 proposed tax increases in my town or County – voted them all down.  I’m not against city programs – but after attending a council meeting last winter, sadly realized our City Board was inept at decision making.  Squeaky wheel syndrome, loudest voice wins.  Louisville’s population (& related tax revenues) continue to grow…but this Council requests even more $$s.  My thought: expand our business district, support LOCAL proprietors.  Council members should NOT draw a check – should be 100% voluntary positions…yep, even meals.  Don’t like it, don’t run.  Fix ‘County Road’ which directs traffic into our Downtown.  Washed out by the 2013 Flood…yep, over 3 years ago.  Golf course was fixed within months (with city tax dollars).  ENOUGH!

Citizens vote to retain Judges.  Information is available re: these individuals.  EDUCATE yourself & choose accordingly.  Colorado Court of Appeals – voted 2 YES, 8 NO.

Constitutional Amendments: Yes to 70/higher living wage to Coloradans.  No to 71/makes it harder for citizen initiatives to make the Ballot.  (Backlash from last election’s marijuana legalization.)

Propositions:  Yes to 106/citizen right to Die (within 6 months of your expiration date). Yes to 107 & 108/allow all citizens to vote in Primaries.  One-third of Coloradans are not registered with the national 2-party monopoly – so we are shut out from voting…but our tax dollars still fund this activity.  Ridiculous.

It’s not HOW I voted, it’s THAT I voted.

Your voted ballot has been received and accepted by the Boulder County Elections. This is your final message this election. Thank you for voting!

Donald Trump Is Elected President in Stunning Repudiation of the Establishment

 

Donald John Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States on Tuesday in a stunning culmination of an explosive, populist and polarizing campaign that took relentless aim at the institutions and long-held ideals of American democracy.

 

The surprise outcome, defying late polls that showed Hillary Clinton with a modest but persistent edge, threatened convulsions throughout the country and the world, where skeptics had watched with alarm as Mr. Trump’s unvarnished overtures to disillusioned voters took hold.

 

The triumph for Mr. Trump, 70, a real estate developer-turned-reality television star with no government experience, was a powerful rejection of the establishment forces that had assembled against him, from the world of business to government, and the consensus they had forged on everything from trade to immigration.

 

The results amounted to a repudiation, not only of Mrs. Clinton, but of President Obama, whose legacy is suddenly imperiled. And it was a decisive demonstration of power by a largely overlooked coalition of mostly blue-collar white and working-class voters who felt that the promise of the United States had slipped their grasp amid decades of globalization and multiculturalism.

 

In Mr. Trump, a thrice-married Manhattanite who lives in a marble-wrapped three-story penthouse apartment on Fifth Avenue, they found an improbable champion.

 

“The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer,” Mr. Trump told supporters around 3 a.m. on Wednesday at a rally in New York City, just after Mrs. Clinton called to concede….
