Gov. Polis again suggest prisoners, who have been subject to many of Colorado's biggest outbreaks, aren't a high vaccine priority: "There's no way it's going to go to prisoners before it goes to people who haven't committed any crime."

I have a different opinion on this. I applaud for admitting this publicly. It will give those who haven’t been voting encouragement. The point is to expand the electorate, not shame folks — ESPECIALLY black men.
