I cannot think of better proof of everyone’s vote mattering than the CO-03 race. It’s literally being decided by a 64 vote margin. If even 100 people had decided not to vote, or if 100 more people had decided to vote, this race would be going in a completely different direction. This one race alone is going to help decide which party controls the House for the next 2 years. Your vote matters.

Gop flat out admitting they don��t want young people to vote, tho.

They are even acknowledging she isn’t telling anyone how to vote.

Just telling them to vote makes her bad.

"In a stunning and unprecedented decision, the Colorado Supreme Court removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot, ruling that he isn’t an eligible presidential candidate because of the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban.”"

"Colorado is poised to be the first state to to expand automatic voter registration to Native American reservations, thanks to a new registration system.

Tribal members have the right to vote in elections, from the local to the national level, just like other U.S. citizens. But actually casting a ballot has been an uphill battle for many tribal residents, including those here in Colorado. Even after obtaining official U.S. citizenship a century ago, Native Americans’ ability to vote has been consistently ignored or actively undermined. In recent decades, unequal access to in-person voting, early voting and election funding on tribal lands has been a particular issue...

Working with Colorado tribes, state lawmakers passed a set of election reforms earlier this year to expand voting access for Native Americans. Those reforms include the nation’s first automatic voter registration program of its kind for Native Americans. The program will cover both of the federally-recognized Native American reservations in the state—the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, and will allow the tribes’ governments to submit lists of members to be registered through the Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office.

Griswold said the new registration system could make a big difference for Colorado's tribal communities.

"Seeing registration rates and turnout rates being much, much lower on tribal lands is a big problem that we want to solve,” Griswold said. “I personally believe automatic voter registration is one of the best ways to register voters in the state of Colorado, and all of our data shows how highly effective it is.”

Colorado is one of more than two dozen states that have automatic voter registration systems, but Colorado is the only state so far to extend its system to cover Native American reservations. When Colorado rolled out its system for the first time in 2020, about 250,000 people were added to the state’s voter rolls within the first year.

Now, [Secretary of State] Griswold hopes the new registration program will have a similar effect on tribal lands in the state. She wants to see the program in place in time for the 2024 election. For now, tribal leadership is reviewing the plan and providing feedback on it.

“It will not take us much time to register people once we start receiving data,” Griswold told KUNC. “But I think there's a couple of logistics to still work through.”

Measures to keep tribal members' information confidential were added recently at the request of the Southern Ute tribe, and lawmakers have also increased the number of on-reservation vote centers available for early voting and on Election Day.

This year’s election reforms also build on a slew of changes in recent years. For example, in 2019 Colorado lawmakers guaranteed in-person voting centers on tribal lands and loosened address requirements for voters."

The Colorado senate just passed a bill that would require all hospitals to disclose if they don't provide gender-affirming care, end-of-life options, and reproductive health-care. The hospitals won't be forced to provide any of this type of care if they don't want to, but they will no longer be allowed to hide that they don't. A lot of patients haven't found out that these types of care aren't provided until they've already paid for an appointment, are already dying, or even are already mid-birth, so this is a really important step.

And, honestly, this is how it should work. If you have religious objections to something (because it is primarily the Catholic hospitals with these problems) fine, you can do that, but you don't get to dictate other people's care based on your own beliefs. Forcing hospitals to disclose what they will and won't do allows patients to make informed choices on where they want to go based on their OWN beliefs.
