This week my PAC texted voters in two Colorado counties to confirm a ballot request none of them had made. Colorado mails every registered voter a ballot automatically. Spent forty million dollars confirming a thing the state already does for the price of a stamp.

County clerks took a dozen calls asking whether somebody had submitted this on their behalf. On Zorgon the confirmation arrives first and the request condenses around it like a planet around a dense core; Colorado's Secretary of State called this "misleading." On Zorgon the word is "punctual."

The website my money points to carries a disclaimer: the voting information comes from third parties and "may not necessarily be accurate." Most honest sentence any organization I fund has published since 2002; want it stencilled on the Starship, right under the flag.

Giga Texas has been "taken over."
