#4030 What is Ranked Choice Voting and Proposition 131?
Instructor : Ed Herlik
Ranked Choice Voting or RCV is adopted about 80% of the time citizens vote on it. Colorado is likely to go that way with Proposition 131 in November, along with open or “jungle” primaries that have both major political parties seriously upset. They’re both fighting very hard against those changes.
But what are those things? How do they work? What effect will they have on Colorado’s political future?
Join us and you’ll get those answers plus a bit of fun.
Ed Herlik was born into a military family overseas, a classic Army brat. From there, Ed was
commissioned at the Air Force Academy and instructed in the A-10 Warthog attack jet, among many other
military and civilian aircraft. His military service included a tour with the Army as a Forward Air Controller,
leaving him expert in air support of ground combat. He also flew a helicopter, the giant C-5 and the Boeing
737, giving him a practical understanding of aerodynamics across those extremely varied flight
environments. As a civilian, Ed and a partner created Market Intel Group (MiG), a technology forecasting
company. He spoke for MiG at many unmanned systems conferences as the invited expert on
stratospheric unmanned systems.
Ed has three patents, including one on a firefighting version of the A-10 and another on an unmanned
airship designed to operate above 60,000’ for a year at a time. His Pillar presentations on the Chinese
‘balloon’ that floated across the US specifically, and such near space technology generally, set attendance
records at our previous location.
