Denver May 2005 Election
The North Denver News is endorsing the new Denver Justice Center, Referred Question 1A, on the May ballot. They write, "The Mayor has been poorly advised on this issue for two reasons. The first is that shaping the electorate, or seeking to depress turnout, sets a poor precedent and is simply anti-democratic. Denver needs more, not fewer, engaged citizens voting. The second is purely practical politics. The voting machinations have set off suspicions with many long-time Democratic activists-people with elephantine memories and long track records organizing elections. These folks were skeptical of Hickenlooper to begin with, and the games with votes have hardened those concerns. Hickenlooper is a political newbie, with months in double digits under his political belt, while these activists have generations of experience with the process. The Mayor would be well-served to buy the Frank Sullivans of the world a cup of coffee and tell his supporters and staff not to monkey with voting."
