Out-of-State Billionaires Push Confusing Voting System Start listening at 22:43 – Hour 1 Trent England, founder and executive director of Save Our States, exposes the massive out-of-state funding behind Colorado’s Proposition 131 ranked choice voting initiative. Over $10.8 million has poured into the state, primarily from billionaires like Kathryn Murdoch and organizations like Unite America, to fundamentally transform how Coloradans vote.
