Protecting Your Vote: Key Insights from Mike Davis and Dave Bossie
In a recent discussion led by Mike Davis and Dave Bossie, the focus turned to the critical importance of voter engagement in Colorado, particularly concerning the upcoming retention election of Chief Justice Monica Marquez. Davis and Bossie expressed their concerns about the increasing radicalism within Colorado’s judicial system, warning that decisions made by justices like Marquez could undermine the democratic process and voter rights.
Davis underscored the significance of Marquez’s controversial decision to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot. He emphasized that this ruling effectively disenfranchised over 550,000 Trump voters, a move he described as a blatant disregard for the democratic will of the people. “We must send a clear message that such actions are unacceptable,” Davis stated, urging voters to cast their ballots against Marquez. He believes this retention election serves as a pivotal moment to safeguard electoral integrity in Colorado.
Another critical aspect of the discussion was the role of Republican leadership in combatting the leftward shift in state politics. Davis highlighted Michael Whatley, the chair of the North Carolina Republican Party, praising his strategic efforts in galvanizing support for conservative candidates. Davis noted that strong leadership at the state level is essential to counteract the Democratic establishment’s influence. He argued that Whatley’s commitment to building a robust grassroots movement is a model that should be emulated across the nation, including in Colorado.
Davis and Bossie also addressed broader themes related to election integrity and the challenges posed by the Democratic party’s legal tactics. They pointed to Mark Elias, a prominent Democratic lawyer, as a key player in orchestrating strategies aimed at reshaping electoral laws to favor Democratic candidates. Davis cautioned that Elias’s influence could lead to significant changes that might jeopardize the fairness of future elections. “We need to be vigilant and ready to challenge any attempts to undermine our election processes,” he urged.
To empower voters, Davis and Bossie shared several crucial pieces of information that could help them feel secure about the integrity of their votes. First, they emphasized the importance of being informed about local election laws and processes. Voters should familiarize themselves with their rights and the mechanisms in place to protect their ballots, including understanding how to report irregularities.
Moreover, they encouraged voters to engage with local Republican Party efforts aimed at monitoring elections. Davis emphasized the necessity of having trained poll watchers who can ensure transparency at polling stations. “Having boots on the ground can deter misconduct and bolster confidence in the electoral process,” he remarked.
Davis also touched on the significance of building a united front among Republican voters. He reiterated that individual votes matter, especially in close races. “Every single vote counts, and a unified Republican base can make a difference in swing states,” he said, encouraging all voters to participate actively in the electoral process.
In addition to these strategic insights, both speakers highlighted the importance of voter outreach and education. They urged Republicans to engage with undecided voters and educate them about the implications of their choices, particularly regarding judicial appointments and local legislation. “We have to reach out, explain our values, and show why it’s crucial to vote against candidates who do not respect the rule of law,” Bossie added.
