  1. Jena Griswold gets another chance to demonstrate her resolve.  AP story:

    Kirk Wertz, 52, was arrested Wednesday in suburban Denver over the June 30 phone call to the office of Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold after investigators tracked his cell phone moving from Goodland, Kansas to Colorado, according to a court document. Authorities have not revealed what the alleged threat was. His alleged statements to the person that answered the phone at Griswold’s office and to a state trooper who called the number back later were redacted from a document explaining why he was arrested.

    In a statement, Griswold thanked law enforcement for taking action against Wertz and said threats would not deter her from carrying out her election duties.

    “The wave of violent threats directed at election officials and workers across the county is extremely concerning, Threats are being used to try to intimidate election officials from doing their jobs in an effort to destabilize democracy,” she said.

  2. Isn't there some statutory deadline by which time Stupid must designate the poor schmuck who will be her running mate?

    1. I think I saw that it is 7 days AFTER the primary vote is certified.  But I don't see that mentioned on the election calendar at the Sec of State's website.

      July 29 is "Last day for the Secretary of State to prepare an election notice for the 2022 General Election to be used in conjunction with a federal write-in absentee ballot."  presumably, the notice has to include names.

       

    1. So I dove deeper to see if I could find a definitive answer and it remains as clear as mud. CRS 1-4-502 does say 7 days after the certification of the primary election results. However, there is no date on the Elections Calendar for that certification. CRS 1-10-105(1) says certification must happen after all the counting and the last chronological event listed is the completion of all statutory recounts. That date IS on the calendar on 2 Aug. So presumedly Heidi has until 9 Aug to name her Lt.Gov. assuming the SoS certifies the election the same day the statutory recounts have to be done. If there are no statutory recounts, or they get done before the deadline, then there could theoretically be an earlier certification date and thus an earlier deadline for Heidi to do her thing, but that appears to be a moving target.

  3. Hiedi Heidi Ganahl/Felix Greg George (?) Lopez – 2022

    It's time to print the yard signs and bumper stickers!

  4. Twitter users (and Tesla stockholders) can breathe a sigh of relief — Elon Musk has backed out of his plan to make the platform safe for Trump and his ilk.  He'll have to cough up a minimum of $1 billion (chump change — the company has gained $75 billion in value in the last 5 days).  He'll likely be tied up in court (or more correctly his swarm of lawyers) for years, and may actually have to pay out billions in damages some day.

    Offering $44 billion for a company currently worth $28 billion was always a head scratcher of a move.  When an eccentric genius belly flops, he really empties out the pool.

      1. "100% fables………" Actually, some of the contents of the two books of Maccabees can be documented from other historical references. That's not a whole lot of potentially documentable truth out of all those books in the Old Testament.

        1. Plus the Song of Songs is beautiful erotica. “Thy breasts are like twin roe, which feed among the lilies. Thou art fair my love, thou art fair.”

        2. Most protestant Christians don't acknowledge the Maccabees. Those were among the books King James determined were too Jewish, and were left out of his version.
