Kids Voting

Kids Voting was a little stupid. We didn't get to voice our opinions on any of the really controvercial issues, just on the tax issues. I helped my dad fill out his real mail-in ballot, which was much more exciting. The two issues I thought were most important were whether or not to make amendments to the state constituion harder to pass, and whether to change the 'definition of a person' in the Colorado constitution. These two pair together well because if the first goes into effect, it will be harder for amendments like the second to get on the ballot. One girl got the abortion issue on the ballot, and I don't think it's a fair representation of what the state wants. The ballots would be shorter if it was harder to get amendments on them, and overall would be more significant.
