Ted Harvey, Colorado's Premiere Political Ambulance Chaser

  • 10 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Over on the alt-facts social media network Parler, former state Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch is up front about how he feels the 2020 elections have gone (Biblical reference above). But Harvey, whose job since the Colorado General Assembly has been running so-called “Scam PACs” that spend most of their raised funds on overhead instead of winning hearts and minds, isn’t stopping there:

We are unable to verify to what extent Harvey’s organization is “leading the legal effort” to ensure that overseas military votes in Georgia are counted, but it’s consistent with reports that “small conservative firms” are handling the majority of the legal grunt work in Trump’s hodge-podge of small-potatoes challenges. Politico:

Behind the scenes, much of the legal work has been handled by small conservative firms. And publicly, President Donald Trump has relied on his staunchest political allies — some of whom aren’t even lawyers — to explain why states should toss out ballots or invalidate the results altogether.

There’s a reason for that.

As with everything Trump, the messaging has served as more a base-pleasing political play and less as an attempt to make a logical legal argument to the country, according to Republicans familiar with the plan. The goal is to not only undermine the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s win, but to also rile up supporters for the runoff fight in Georgia that will determine which party controls the Senate next year. It also serves to sow doubt about the integrity of U.S. elections now and in the future, benefiting Trump’s I-never-lose posture.

Because Ted Harvey’s political committees are first and foremost self-sustaining fundraising operations with no accountability to donors or reputation to uphold, they’re the perfect vehicle for diversionary legal actions that nobody with a clue expects will alter the results of the election. What they are expected to do is facilitate the passage of the Republican base through the trauma of Trump’s defeat, by giving them a way to deny its legitimacy. Bad for the country, good for keeping the Republican base placated for whatever comes next.

And along the way, Ted Harvey will get paid his own thirty pieces of silver.

  1. Ted knows his sheckels; he’d sell out his mother for thirty pieces of silver . . .

    . . . Harvey was neville before being Neville was grifty cool.

  2. . . . as for Pennsylvania, the SOS is reporting fewer than 10,000 ballots were received after November 3rd.

    (And, since Biden is up over 51,000 votes in PA, and that lead is still growing as the count is finalized, we’re talking a McSally level of sheer stupidity and ignorance, here . . .)

      1. Kevin Priola and Bob Rankin both won re-election. Neither is a perfect politician. But at least there will be two senators in the GOP Senate Caucus who can often be counted on to vote in a common sense way.

        1. They need common sense because of the nature of the districts they represent. They do not have the dubious luxury of being ideological extremists.
