This policy MUST be amended. VOTERS are being duped. The current policy, not exclusive to CO, is not fair to the voting public. These are ELECTED positions that will now be filled by an appointment of the Governor. It smells really bad and has been set up intentionally.
@chrisredfield4017 oh well. Democracy is worth it. I don't like that we did not elect these people. Maybe there can be a penalty for pulling this kind of stunt to discourage it.
In fact, we Colorado voters just voted _against_ approval voting, because aside from broad humanitarian & union support, there was an unpopular person associated with the bill. We literally voted against having more effective votes, because of the cult of personality, rather than the content of the bill.
@@BrucevonBehrens Meg Froelich got in this way. In fact if the media would only uphold the Constitution and do their job of educating us on who is competent and who has integrity and promoting all candidates while staying apolitical, we the people can nominate servant leaders who represent all our values not just a few
What is this, a deliberate ploy to circumvent the voters? The voters should be able to vote for the replacement. So sick n tired of loopholes. Free country my a$$!
@ ah… Ty… which we Americans were ignorant and in awe of his alluring charm and need to see a black man elected to the presidency. At least I was allured and ignorant then. I’ve become wiser since then.
@@MarlaFernandezBenavides Unfortunately … as is often the case … most people did absolutely NO investigation into who this guy was. I was an OTR Truck Driver when I first heard his name come over my CB Radio. At the time I had a very good laptop and wireless cellular modem and, at my next break, sitting in my sleeper I began to look him up. As soon as I got an idea of “Who” he was, I went directly to the Congressional Records of the State of Illinois followed him into the Congressional Records of the USA and found, by his “voting records” and his presenting or sponsoring “Bills”, that he had done precisely NOTHING and hadn’t served most of his Term of Office in either location. Then, there were LOTS of pieces of footage of his various “talks” or speeches as a “Community Activist” and verifiable information of his lack of Academic/Scholastic Achievements as either Student or “Professor” … It took all of 3 hours to decide “NO Way” … it took another 3 rest periods carefully looking for more information to decide “No Way in Hell”. Unfortunately everybody seemed to be all in awe of his alleged “eloquence” and “charm” and … “Oh boy! We can elect a Black man (actually a Mulatto) as a PRESIDENT!!!” I realized then that most voters were simply voting for “feelings” and were basically Stupid and THEN they Re-Elected him (OMG)! Don’t get me wrong … Romney, and later McCain were honestly not much better but at least they had more on their resumé than “Community Activist”.
I truly hope you've and voted for Trump. I made my mistake with W. I told myself I would never again vote for someone without researching their personal business and political past.
I don't care if it's a Republican or a Democrat, when a lawmaker/representative resigns, the people should vote for his or her replacement. "The U.S. House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States...." Since "a constitutional republic is a form of government where the people hold the power but elect representatives to exercise it...." it should be a violation for an elected official to select a replacement for a resigning official. Give the people back their voice! Let them vote for replacements!
Politicians do it all the time. Kinda like resiging from your House seat just after being re-relected but before an ethics report is released. Oh, wait... that's a Florida man
Even if you aren't a conspiracy theorist, this seems suspicious. Keep someone popular in for the votes, then move them out afterward. Guess that's one way to insure there is no flipping seats and that someone with the 'right' opinions is in the office.
No, we should do a special election, every time.
I agree
This policy MUST be amended. VOTERS are being duped. The current policy, not exclusive to CO, is
not fair to the voting public. These are ELECTED positions that will now be filled by an appointment

BTW, special elections, depending on scope, cost millions of tax payer dollars.

@@chrisredfield4017 having unelected ringers run our government based on who showed up to an obscure meeting could cost taxpayers MUCH more.

No Demcracy in Colorado.

Something fishy going on here. Why run for office and then almost immediately resign?
It seems obvious, they were popular, easily win reelection and knew this would be the outcome.
Why didn't they decide this before running for office? This is insane.
They are leaving hoping to avoid prosecution
@@godtakingnotes7632 Of what? Are you stupid?
They are clearly doing this to bypass voters...
They want to rig in their friends and family
Because they did not think we would be dealing with trumps fourth reich at this point.
They do not want to deal with trumps brown shirts.
@@godtakingnotes7632 No they are Democrats not Republican criminals.
Just a way to get someone in the office that could not win in an election,

@@MarlaFernandezBenavides Especially if we use approval voting, instead of feeling constrained to vote strictly along partisan lines...
Will they be required to pay back the campaign funding they received (spent/wasted)?
Pay attention people to these snakes and vote 🗳️
Doesn't give me the warm fuzzies.
This steams my beans 😮

wow that is wild! At least hang out for a few months lol... Definitely a bad look
They get a pension for holding the position even for a day.
They do?
Oh. I agree. It’s not working. And I think we need a new election for her.
Oh, she is afraid so she runs home as a shelter for all her frauds. Right?
If you leave because you got a different job, WAY DIFFERENT than dipping out before doing any of the job. Nice try. We know how you voted.
Thats the secret in the house if you ask me.......
CO needs to start election approvals, not vacancy committee appointees.
That is how Obama got in
@@lauran6184 actually Obama became president bc we Americans were in awe over his eloquent speaking ability and failed to discern right from wrong.
No … originally … to the State Legislature which he traded in almost immediately for Senator … which he traded in to run for President.

Biden and Pelosi are so proud of the backroom politics in Colorado.

Now watch as he is appointed Senator after Rubio leaves for his own cabinet position.

lol, you're less likely to be prosecuted as a lawmaker, dummy.

2:09 only long blink of interview.
He is obviously lying.
Democrat philosophy:
By hook or by crook.
This REEKS of the other political party threatening elected individuals.
It is hard to not see it that way.
Im retiring as a long time active voter. Miss me with this 🐂 ❄️
Vote in more ways
Have a cry Kyle, how do you know as to why she left. She could have cancer or anything. Stop undermining her decision
