Then read this blog on Colorado being the Florida of 2008 re the presidential election: Square State.
Then no matter what state you live in, email the people in charge in Colorado at the email addresses at the bottom of the blog, if you want to try to help the presidential election be fair.
What’s really amazing is that Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman (R) is overseeing his own election to COHD6 and has refused to resign due to conflict of interest. I will definitely vote for Hank Eng (D) who always shows integrity as well as intelligence in everything he does.
The HBO movie RECOUNT recounts the events of November and December 2000, when the electoral process in Florida became the deciding factor in electing George W. Bush as president rather than Al Gore. Watch it and come to your own conclusions. It could happen again, and this time in Colorado.
By the way, the movie does show both sides and provides us with some well-needed humor at this time via Katherine Harris and her lipstick. So I guess “lipstick” via Sarah Palin’s pitbull joke and all the other references (before the banking and financial crisis took its proper place in the news) may be THE word we will remember from 2008. Hopefully it won’t be “Coffman”…
