Independence Institute Downplays Colorado Election Fraud

Colorado’s Independence Institute, a libertarian think tank and policy advocacy group with whom this website agrees on just about everything, is apparently supportive of the notion that there was no problem at all with the 2020 presidential election in Colorado.

On their website Complete Colorado (a Drudge Report lookalike for Colorado news that is well worth following), they link to a contrary analysis of the New York Gazette article challenging the Colorado presidential election results – apparently taking the position that Colorado’s election results were above reproach.

Of course, if you’ve followed Mile High Evening News for any length of time, you know we have done extensive digging into the macro return data for Colorado that shows weighted voting and algorithmic manipulation, investigated the overall voter registration and participation trends in the last four presidential elections and interviewed system designers who participated in the development of the core software being used by Dominion Voting Systems and other election companies. We’ve also highlighted the uncanny similarities between what we’ve found in Colorado and what has been discovered in other states.

Unfortunately, the “nothing to see here” trend among established conservative journalists, policymakers, and websites shows how entrenched the opposition establishment has become. Many conservative and libertarian groups and media personalities are all too happy to sell and promote loyal opposition. They are happy to be the leaders of losing, as long as they are leading. Many are never-Trumpers, and they would rather their principles lose than see someone else (Trump, new media) lead.

We are not prepared to call the Independence Institute institutionally compromised. They are a well-researched and principled bunch and have been on the scene a lot longer than us. Although, as Colorado has gone reliably blue in the last 20 years, it’s hard to determine how effective Colorado’s conservative groups have been.

As far as the 2020 election goes, nobody has been able to explain how what we’ve found is normal. We’re waiting.
