Colorado modernized voting, but the ballot Is still closed for many | PODIUM

Colorado's primary election on June 30 highlights a paradox in its modernized voting system: while the process for casting votes has been streamlined, many races already have clear frontrunners, leaving voters with little real choice. This situation underscores systemic issues in political competition, where early dominance by a few candidates stifles genuine voter engagement and choice. The implications extend beyond Colorado, raising questions about the fairness and inclusivity of modern electoral processes nationwide.
