Issue 1A in Adams County has the following language:

Shall your rights, as an Adams County voter, be restored to elect candidates of your choice to the offices of Adams County commissioner, (etc.) by lengthening the term limits for those offices by one additional term (for a maximum of three consecutive terms) as authorized by Article XVIII, Section 11(2), of the Colorado Constitution?

Seriously?

That’s the language of a push poll, not a supposedly neutral ballot question.  If similar language were used in a voter poll, the pollster would be ridiculed mercilessly.  Apparently, neutrality isn’t actually required of our “betters” in County government.

Update: It occurs to me that if I were to carry a sign with the official ballot language on it, I would be barred from approaching a polling place.  Where’s Jimmy Carter, “esteemed” election monitor, when I need him?
