Why We Vote Ep. 140: Free Tina Peters, Colorado’s Showdown, and Election Integrity Battles

Ashe in America and Alpha Warrior host a laid-back but fiery episode of Why We Vote, tackling breaking news and election integrity fights. They open with Ed Martin’s call to free Tina Peters, praising her courage and highlighting Trump’s pressure campaign on Colorado—including his decision to move Space Command to Alabama, citing mail-in ballot fraud. The hosts dig into Colorado’s political landscape, exposing how uniparty players like former Perkins Coie attorneys are being placed in key state roles to obstruct transparency. They connect these moves to Trump’s broader strategy, pointing out how funding cuts and federal investigations are hitting Colorado where it hurts. Beyond that, the episode unpacks debates over Second Amendment rights, National Guard deployments in blue states, and Democratic governors’ fear that Trump will use the military to secure elections. With humor, sponsor shoutouts, and even a detour into alpaca farming at Willow Wind Farm, Ashe and Alpha balance lighthearted banter with serious analysis of the battles ahead for free and fair elections.
