According to the 10/05/26 edition of the public Colorado voter roll, twenty-three active status registrants, ranging in age from 21 to 75, listed the address of the HomewardBound year-round homeless shelter in Mesa County as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. HomewardBound can accommodate a large population made up of vulnerable single adults, families with children, people with disabilities, and military veterans. One registrant has a Colorado ballot mailing address that points to a U.S. military facility in Europe. This seems, at least to me, to be an unusual ballot mailing address for someone who primary residence is an emergency homeless shelter but then again, this is Colorado …

According to the 10/05/26 edition of the public Colorado voter roll, twenty-three active status registrants, ranging in age from 22 to 60, listed the address of STEP Denver as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. Founded in 1983, Step Denver is a residential recovery program that helps men with no resources and nowhere else to turn take the first step toward recovery. The organization serves more than 330 men each year and is not just helping people get sober, but helping men who have the gift of desperation save their own lives.

According to the 10/05/26 edition of the public Colorado voter roll, thirty-six active status registrants, ranging in age from 21 to 65, listed the address of Community Alternatives of El Paso (CAE), a community corrections and reentry facility in Colorado Springs as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. Eight have their Colorado ballots mailed to different addresses including a thirty year old male whose Colorado ballot mailing address is in Michigan. A review of the public Michigan voter roll shows that he is also registered to vote in Michigan (registration date 10/17/2025) but apparently the Colorado Secretary of State doesn’t mind that he has the option of voting in two federal election this year.

According to the October 5th edition of the public Colorado voter roll, forty-four active status registrants, ranging in age from 24 to 74, listed the address of the YMCA of the Rockies Snow Mountain Ranch as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. Presumably all are staff members although one 54 year old male has his ballot mailed to an address in Fairbanks Alaska and a 27 year old female has her ballot mailed to a U.S. military address in Europe. I’m sure Colorado’s erstwhile Secretary of State has confirmed all are legitimate Colorado residents so no worries here.

According to the October 5th edition of the public Colorado voter roll, twenty-six active status registrants, ranging in age from 28 to 60, listed the address of the 225 bed Roberts Road Residential Facility in Colorado Springs as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. One of these individuals has a Colorado ballot mailing address in Georgia and a review of Georgia’s public voter roll shows that he is also an active status registrant there (registration date 08/07/2014) and last voted in Georgia IN PERSON at the November 2024 election. He obviously doesn’t live in Colorado nor has he voted in Colorado since at least November 2022 (Colorado registration date 2/5/2020) BUT he has received a Colorado ballot for this current election, just in case … Is Colorado the only state in the nation where you don’t have to be a resident to vote? The Colorado Secretary of State has to be the WORST and MOST INEPT Secretary of State EVER.

According to the public Colorado voter roll, sixty-three active status registrants, ranging in age from 18 to 56, listed the address of location of Lynx Crossing Residence Hall, an on-campus student housing facility for the University of Colorado Denver, as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. Ten have their Colorado ballots mailed to other addresses but twenty-one others have their Colorado ballots mailed to Lynx Crossing Residence Hall from other Colorado addresses. Of the seventy-four ballots and blue books recently delivered to the address, only thirty-eight identified room numbers so presumably (hopefully?) someone diligently chased around matching ballots to names in rooms.
 Lynx Crossing Residence Hall is an apartment community offering furnished studios, 2 and 4 bedroom apartments near the University of Colorado in Denver. Residents enjoy an on-site dining hall, fitness center and computer lab. It has a Google review rating of 2.6. People say this student dormitory has a nice vibe and friendly people, and guests mention the gym is nice. Other reviews mention management can be unhelpful and unresponsive, and the dining hall can have limited options.

According to the public Colorado voter roll, fifty-four active status registrants, ranging in age from 20 to 58, listed the address of The Other Side Academy in Denver as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. One has his Colorado ballot mailed to an address in Georgia so fifty-three Colorado ballots and blue books were recently delivered to the Academy for re-distribution to individual registrants.
 The Other Side Academy is an incredibly successful two and a half year self-sustaining, residential life-skills, and vocational training program for people in long-term criminal behavior, drug addiction, and homelessness.

On average, Americans save less today than they once did ...

For those wondering why we in the United States experienced so much inflation during the Biden Administration, which continues to plague us today, it was because of the idiotic decision of a partisan Senate in March 2021 to pass a $1.9 TRILLION COVID relief bill. Most Americans had returned to work by then and the big welfare handouts pushed up consumer demand when, because of production disruptions, supply was low. Ergo inflation! And no, inflation WASN'T worldwide in 2021. Just in those countries where feeble minded politicians didn't understand basic economic principles but wanted to win votes by handing out cash. Like the United States. geofactbook.com/fact/inflati…

According to the public Colorado voter roll, forty-six active status registrants, ranging in age from 19 to 67, listed the address of Denver Rescue Mission’s The Crossing on Smith Road in Denver as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. Eleven have mailing addresses directing their Colorado ballots elsewhere so hopefully the busy staff were able to get the thirty-five ballots mass delivered to their location this month into the hands of the appropriate individuals on a timely basis. The primary programs offered at The Crossing include the New Life Program, which serves up to 130 men focused on addiction recovery and rehabilitation, the STAR Transitional Program, which provides up to 100 rooms for working individuals, families, and participants transitioning out of homelessness, and support services that include case management, counseling, life skills classes, and daily meals.

According to the public Colorado voter roll, seventeen active status registrants, ranging in age from 18 to 30, listed the address of the U.S. Forest Services’ Collbran Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center located on a 48-acre campus in Collbran, Colorado, one of 88 such centers that opened in 1965, during the Job Corps' first year and managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It is free to eligible men and women ages 16 through 24 and there are 220 students on campus with 62 staff members. Of those listing this address as their primary residence on the Colorado voter roll, three have their ballots mailed to different addresses in Colorado, California and Texas, and five others collect their ballots here, Nineteen ballots were thus delivered to the Center’s address for distribution prior to the November 3rd election.

A Meta regulatory filing released yesterday shows Mark Zuckerberg considered leaving California over Proposition 40, a proposed one-time tax on billionaires, but agreed to stay in Silicon Valley for eight years. Under the deal, Zuckerberg can immediately sell 20 percent of a new class of nonvoting shares to cover any tax he owes, with the other 80 percent unlocking over eight years only if he keeps living in California. Prop 40 calls for a 5 percent tax on billionaires' stock and assets held in the state as of January 2026, though recent polling, after about $129 million spent opposing it, suggests the measure will fail.

There are two active status registrants on the October 5th version of the public Colorado voter roll, whose ballot mailing addresses are in Iran. One in Tehran and the other in Yazd. Neither address has been formatted correctly on the voter roll so it is impossible to pinpoint either location on a map, which is lucky because the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps probably monitors the Colorado voter roll and would be interested in tracking them both down. I know that Colorado's erstwhile Secretary of State doesn't ever monitor the voter roll. Both registrants represent Congressional District 5 and will be able to vote electronically on November 3rd. Colorado has THE dirtiest voter roll in the nation ...

Inflation, then and now ... how quickly Colorado's two do-nothing Senators forget ...

An economy comprises both private sector and public sector activities. Within the private sector, there are business entities that have employees and others that don’t. The largest category of business entities without employees are sole proprietorships. Although business entities without employees generated almost $38 billion in gross revenues in Colorado in 2024, they don’t usually contribute much towards state income tax revenues as owners, partners and proprietors oftentimes report expenses that match or exceed revenues. Business entities without employees are nevertheless a critical element of any state’s economy. A recent U.S. Census Bureau release highlighted that in 2024 Colorado had 627,479 business entities WITHOUT employees. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data highlighted that in 2024 there were 193,276 business entities WITH employees (a number that fell to 192,468 in 2025).
