Perfect Harmony of Synchronized Voting in Colorado, Or

What Could This Mean for Nevada?

Ain’t it a sight to behold? In the grand spectacle of the 2020 General Election in Arapahoe County, Colorado, where 354,267 ballots got cast, a peculiar thing happened—something so improbable, it might make even the most seasoned gambler pause his hand. A solid three percent of those votes, tallying up to 10,628 ballots, showed a voting pattern so synchronized between Republicans and Democrats that it would make you wonder if they were all reading from the same hymn book.

Now, it wasn’t just the usual partisan squabble on the ballot. No, sir. It was stranger as these two sworn enemies of the political landscape—those red and blue comrades—voted in perfect lockstep on Proposition B, a measure looking to do away with the Gallagher Amendment in Colorado’s state constitution. It’s curious, considering that these folks typically can’t agree on the color of the sky, let alone taxes.

And here’s where it gets downright uncanny. The correlation between the votes was a staggering 0.99—a statistical number so high, you’d think someone had been cooking the books. For you and me–it means they were just about as in sync as two folks singing a duet in perfect harmony, with barely a whisker’s difference in how they felt about the proposition.

It wasn’t a mere fluke of nature; it was more than 20 standard deviations from the norm. If it had been a poker hand, the odds of such a thing happening would’ve made a straight flush look like child’s play.

Now, despite the strange spectacle, Proposition B passed with a convincing 57 percent of the vote, and Arapahoe County played a mighty hand in securing that win. But hold on, this wasn’t just any old election.

Oh no, a whopping 46,062 votes seemed to have been moved around, shuffled in a way that would make a seasoned dealer proud, all to give the measure that final push. You won’t find this kind of thing happening in most places as Republicans and Democrats typically line up in opposing columns but voted together at 43 percent each in opposition to the measure, creating a voting pattern about as unusual as a hen laying a square egg.

Now, it ain’t just Arapahoe County that’s raising an eyebrow. This peculiar harmony in voting was spotted in other parts of the nation, too. In Nevada’s Washoe and Clark Counties during the 2024 General Election, synchronized voting was seen too. The ballot measures addressing things like ranked-choice voting and abortion access saw the same unusual pattern of Republicans and Democrats singing from the same sheet of music.

It’s enough to make a fella wonder if there’s an algorithm behind all this, pulling the strings in ways that might fly under the radar of your average election auditor. Some are even talking about the possibility of widespread algorithmic election fraud—a notion so outlandish, you might think it belongs in the pages of a dime novel. But if these voting patterns are any indication, it’s a question worth asking.

As the good people look toward coming elections, you can bet the issue of election integrity and the role of programmable electronic systems will be at the forefront of many heated discussions. With all this new evidence, folks are starting to believe we don’t have a fair and transparent education system.
