Colorado Democrats Switching Parties To Tank Lauren Boebert In The Primary

Lauren Boebert could be facing an uphill battle in her upcoming primary race, as new reports indicate that Democrats are switching their Party registration in order to vote against her in the primary. The state has already seen thousands of Democrats switch their affiliation, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are ALL planning on voting against her. Farron Cousins explains the plan and why it just might work.

Democrats in the state of Colorado have actually come up with a very clever plan to try to get Lauren Bobert out of office by forcing her to lose her primary. And that plan involves actually abandoning the democratic party. So far since February of this year, thousands of Democrats in Colorado, many of whom are in Lauren Bobbit's district have decided to switch their party affiliation from Democrat to no party affiliation. And by doing that, they are allowed to vote in Colorado's open primaries. See here's what would happen if they stayed registered as Democrats, they would only be able to vote in the democratic primaries. If they're registered as Republicans, you can only vote for Republicans, but if you're unaffiliated, you can vote for either. So Democrats have said in the state, according to interviews, they've decided to become unaffiliated. Even after some of them say they were lifelong Democrats, just so they can vote in that Republican primary to get Lauren Bobert out of office.

Now, as I said, you've got thousands of Democrats in Colorado, not just in her district, right? All over the state, 3,700. I think it is that, uh, have switched their party affiliation or are no longer affiliated with the democratic party. And sure, political scientists tell us that some of these people may have moved. Some of them may have died. And of course there's no way of knowing whether or not all of them left the democratic party in order to vote in the Republican primary. However, as I also mentioned, plenty of interviews with these people said, yes, that is exactly the plan. And there are a lot of us that have decided to do this. So whether it's going to be enough to get Lauren Bobert to actually lose her primary, it remains to be seen. The primary of course is on June 28th. So we don't have a lot longer to wait.

Lauren Bobert does in fact have a, uh, pretty, I would say worthwhile opponent who is popular in the state. It is state Senator Don quorum. There's a problem though, even though, as I've discussed in the past, Bobert is not exactly well liked in her district. A lot of people think that she just wants to be famous and they're not happy. She hasn't done anything for them. Um, quorum is not able to raise much money. In fact, the numbers are, uh, well, let's just say pathetic by the end of March, last time we have reporting quorum had raised only $89,000 compared to 4.4 million for Bobert. So yeah, that's, uh, that's,

It's, it's a pretty big difference there, you know, oh, I've got $90,000. Cool. I have four and a half million dollars. So Bobert of course has the competitive edge. It's obvious she has name recognition, but we've seen crazier things happen in primaries, not to mention the democratic party in the state has lost 2.7% of their registers. That's pretty significant. In fact, the political experts in the state say that that number is stunning. And in primaries like this, even with high profile people like Lauren Bobert one, 2000 votes could absolutely mean the difference between victory and defeat. So it'll remain to be seen, but just in case I've got any Democrats out there in Bauer's district watching this check and see if you've still got time, because every vote could matter. Maybe it's time to switch to unaffiliated. It doesn't really change anything for you. You can still vote in your democratic primary if that's what you choose to do, but you may also be able to lend a hand in keeping Lauren Bobert from getting a second term.
