This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, with a little less than 70 days left until the Colorado Primary Elections, we wonder…where the hell are all of the ads? Do the candidates know that they have to spend all the money they raised to win the only elections that matter in Colorado, the ones that happen between Democrats on June 30?
Then, the Supreme Court dealt yet another blow to the Voting Rights Act, this time allowing Republican states to just draw Black districts out of existence, but surely they wouldn't do something like that, right? In local news, the Colorado GOP still doesn’t have a chairperson and won’t until May 30th at the earliest; with the worst political environment since 2018 coming for them, we guess some candidates will have to make sure their postage deals with the Arizona Republican Party are still good! And finally, it’s always a good time to Blame Biden for the absolute disastrous shape of not only the country, but the entire world, even though Donald Trump has been president for like a year and a half already.
