1900s James Bucklin was a lawyer, a founder of Grand Junction, and a stockholder in the Town Company. New ideas in politics and government intrigued Bucklin and he promoted the unusual Preferential Voting System, in use here from 1909 to 1922. Citizens voted for everyone running for an office, in the order of the voter�s preference. Winners were those who tallied the largest number of high preference points. This innovation gained Grand Junction national and international attention.
