But I’m less sure that @BriannaForCO, my amazing house rep, will prevail. I don’t know about the income tax measures on the ballot that would gut state funding in the middle of a massive budget crisis.
Vote because your down ballot races and initiatives need it.
I've seen a number of attempts today to convince Democratic voters they don't have to vote, because Biden has it in the bag, and/or Trump is about to resign.

Don't buy it. If your vote didn't matter, Fascists wouldn't be trying to tell you that you don't have to vote.

Is he going to get CRUSHED by Sleep Joe Biden?
Make it so.

My piece in the NY Times today: "the Trump administration is denying applications submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services at a rate 37 percent higher than the Obama administration did in 2016."
Based on this analysis: "Denials for immigration benefits—travel documents, work permits, green cards, worker petitions, etc.—increased 37 percent since FY 2016. On an absolute basis, FY 2018 will see more than about 155,000 more denials than FY 2016." https://t.co/Bl0naOO0sh
"This increase in denials cannot be credited to an overall rise in applications. In fact, the total number of applications so far this year is 2 percent lower than in 2016. It could be that the higher denial rate is also discouraging some people from applying at all.."
Thanks to @gsiskind for his insightful comments. The increase in denials, he said, is “significant enough to make one think that Congress must have passed legislation changing the requirements. But we know they have not.”
My conclusion:
