Why We Vote Ep. 169: Red Flame Wins, BIOS Scandals & Tina Peters Update

CannCon and Ashe in America welcome James Wiley, Red Flame of Liberty, fresh off a commanding 72% sweep at the Colorado Republican Assembly for Secretary of State. The three dig into the credentialing chaos that left delegates standing in line for hours and produced 80 more votes than voters. Wiley breaks down the BIOS password scandal that exposed Colorado voting machines to potential foreign compromise, the Libertarian Party lawsuit against Jenna Griswold, and the cover-up audio from deputy secretary Christopher Beale. The conversation shifts to Wiley's campaign platform, built around a sharp and surprisingly effective question: do you want AI running your elections? They also tackle the erosion of the caucus system, the delegate republic vs. direct democracy debate, and wrap with a breakdown of Tina Peters' new appellate filing and a win for Maricopa County recorder Justin Heap.
