Voters canceling registration?!? Uh-oh!

Colorado voters are canceling their voter registration as a reaction to the "voter fraud" data. That seriously worries me because is has all the potential to cause us to have someone like Ken Buck for governor. And then we'll essentially turn into another Kansas and extremist groups in the state like Focus on the Family will reign supreme throughout the state. This reaction is akin to giving Trump and the far-right what they want in advance.

Does anybody know more about it? Is there something more to it than this or are people really crazy enough not to vote at a time like this? Is there something more that I don't know that's going on? Reading about it was seriously disturbing to me because we're a purple state that could turn into a deep red one with this.

they have that option, but a few I've talked with who did de-register in Denver, plan to re-register July 15 online after the data is submitted to the Trump asshold committee.

I've been out of the loop for a while and when I heard about this it scared the crap out of me. I hope with all my heart that they do re-register because we need every person we can get.
