You should take a look at her district. She represents an area barely anybody lives in. The people of colorado by and large hate her.
Wow, that's a dismissive statement. So because this district isn't Denver they don't count as the people of Colorado? We have a diverse mix of people here--yes some of the stereotypical rednecks, ranchers, and resource extraction jobs, but also artsy types, old hippies, organic farmers, civil service for the public lands, and many members of the local tribes. People have moved here from all over the country (and in some cases the world) with many different experiences and perspectives on life. Lumping them all together as voices that don't matter doesn't help anyone.
Correct. 1,000 people from a very specific region of a state are not representative of "the people" of that state.
320k people voted.
1000 is quite the hyperbole.
