Since last Friday’s unforgettable moment at the Colorado Secretary of State’s office as two…well, rustic looking gentlemen arrived from Pueblo to turn in a total of four signatures in support of a recall against Senate President Leroy Garcia–just a few signatures short of the required minimum 13,506–there’s been a lot of chatter about what exactly […]
As the New York Times’ Neil Vigdor reports, a Trump-endorsed QAnon-curious January 6th participant Republican congressional candidate’s campaign for Congress is careening out of control, after his self-professed record of military service turned out to be wildly overstated: J.R. Majewski, a Republican House candidate in northern Ohio, has frequently promoted himself as a combat veteran […]
Keeping up to date with the latest in the ongoing battle between Secretary of State Jena Griswold and a handful of Colorado county clerks–now down to two that we know of–who are suspected of tampering with election computer systems as part of a half-baked and failed attempt to uncover evidence to support Donald Trump’s ongoing […]
David Mullen of the Colorado Springs Gazette reports: About 70 demonstrators gathered Saturday near the Colorado State Capitol to protest what they alleged was fraud in the presidential election. Calling themselves the Colorado Election Integrity Project, the group waved “Trump 2020” banners and held up signs reading “Stop the Steal” and “Masks, Tyranny, Corruption + […]
As Politico reports, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which is helmed for the 2018 cycle by Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, is being accused of stealing donor information…from House Republicans: Staffers for Senate Republicans’ campaign arm seized information on more than 200,000 donors from the House GOP campaign committee over several months this year by breaking into […]
Originally posted at Colorado Pols.
FINAL UPDATE: Looks like the Jeffco Republicans finally got their webmaster on the phone. The image has been taken down from every single page on the site as of 11:00 PM. In its place on the home page is a much more, well, innocuous announcement: “Pollwatchers Needed. Contact Amy to sign up for training or receive more information.”
UPDATE 2: As of 6:30, the image has been removed from other content pages but has returned to its spot on the home page. Odd.
POLS UPDATE: As of 4:45, the Jeffco GOP has removed the photo in question from the home page of their website, although it’s still prominently visible on several other pages for now.
The whitewashing of the home page, mind you, only adds to the argument that this is something that should never have been on a county party website to begin with.

At the website of the Jefferson County Republican Party, the first thing you’re asked to do:
The two men in the well-known photo above are members of the New Black Panther Party, charged with making an isolated disturbance outside a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008. No other incidents of the kind were reported anywhere else, but the photo of these two men has been used countless times by Republicans to incite baseless race-baiting fears of Black Panther thugs headed for your suburban neighborhood polling place to make trouble.
Oh, wait a minute!
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The Associated Press distributed a good article, which was picked up widely today, about Hispanic voters, pointing out that “there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to courting the nation’s fastest-growing minority group.” Hispanics back Obama (65%) over Romney (25%), but, reflecting their varied views on some issues, most are independent (46% […]
I wanted to follow up on posts from others last week, because I think McBride and the DeFENSE gang may have made a few legal missteps that could have some consequences. And after looking into McBride’s background, it turns out he’s done some shady – if not downright illegal stuff with campaign finance before. First, […]
If you’re a political activist, whether PETA or Tea Party or whatever, you spend a lot of time thinking about how to get media attention. I’ve done a lot of this myself, and even wrote a book about it (hint), and I can tell you that activists love to steal media attention that rightfully belongs to […]
As you may have read in my past posts on the GOP stealing the election in Colorado, you know that those of us in Colorado are frankly worried about the real possibility of our votes being stolen on election day. At issue, Sec. of State Mike Coffman’s voter purges, in violation of the law. Well, […]
The 2008 election is coming up fast. In the past 2 cycles, there have been misdeeds both before and after the election which invariably have unfairly awarded the election to the Republicans. There have been names of infamy associated with this: Kathryn Harris, Secretary of State of Florida – Ken Blackwell, Secretary of State of […]
Well here we go again. It would appear this reporter has been reading Colorado Pol’s all day, and decided to write a column. I am sure that didn’t really happen, but the talking points sound real familiar. I can’t believe any knowledgeable person would repeat Jeff Cranks anti-Military charge against Doug Lamborn. He has been […]
Both Republicans and Democrats are trying to out-accuse each other of political ploys. From the Rocky Mountain News: Republican lawmakers vowed today to back Gov. Bill Owens in his possible call for a special session, denouncing Democrats’ dueling plan as nothing more than a political ploy. Before the legislature could convene, Democrats, who control both […]
NEW: Gov Jared Polis (D) tells me he won't free President Trump's ally Tina Peters from prison to prevent more retaliation like Trump's removal of Space Command from Colorado. "Justice is not for sale," Polis said. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/y389pDWnwx — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) September 4, 2025 In an interview last night with 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark, Gov. […]
One Colorado Republican in Congress is criticizing President Trump for pardoning J6 rioters who violently attacked police. It’s not former police officer Rep. Gabe Evans. He’s still in line with Trump. It’s fellow freshman Rep. Jeff Hurd. #copolitics [image or embed] — Kyle Clark (@kylec.bsky.social) January 22, 2025 at 10:11 PM THURSDAY UPDATE: Rep. Gabe […]

UPDATE 5:20: The counts and verdicts from 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger: —– UPDATE 5:15PM: Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters GUILTY on influencing public servant charges, not guilty on some impersonation charges. Guilty on 7 out of 10 total counts. Stand by for summary. —– UPDATE 5:10PM: Jury has reached a verdict. Jury returning to the […]
The United States currently produces more oil than any country at any time in history. Under President Joe Biden. The two largest American oil companies — ExxonMobil and Chevron — recently reported their largest annual profits in more than a decade. But if that’s not enough for the oil and gas industry, and it may not […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) by Heidi Beedle and James O’Rourke During a Spunky Patriots meeting on Oct. 17, 2023, members of the conservative activist group practiced resisting arrest at Brave Church, formerly Fervent Church, in Colorado Springs. “They are coming to arrest your brothers and sisters,” said podcast host, election conspiracist, and defamation defendant Joe […]
Yesterday morning, ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos hosted Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, who very briefly was the frontrunner to become the next Republican Speaker of the House before his bid fell apart, to talk about what happened and what comes next. Stephanopoulos played a short clip of Colorado’s soon-to-be former Rep. Ken Buck condemning […]
UPDATE #7: Hello, “Square One.” Emmer already dropped out of the running to become House Speaker. Via The Washington Post: Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), the House majority whip, and the third Republican speaker pick since the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), had been elected as the GOP nominee on an internal ballot earlier Tuesday. However, […]
Prior to the GOP’s narrow takeover of the U.S. House in the 2022 midterms, Colorado’s then-freshman all-purpose blowhard Rep. Lauren Boebert ostentatiously refused to pass on requests for so-called “earmarks,” otherwise known as specific funding appropriations for numerous projects in her district, decrying Democratic leadership for engaging in a process she condemned as corrupt. At […]
In a sequence of events eerily similar to her extended “podcast tour” of the state that was in actuality a stealth launch of her historically ill-fated campaign for governor, 2022 19-point loser Heidi Ganahl is holding an event this weekend to discuss her future plans, just a month or so into her latest podcast excursion […]
We wrote in this space on Thursday about discussion in the State Senate regarding proposed legislation seeking to regulate unserialized firearms — more commonly known as “ghost guns” — and to establish a process to serialize firearms made at home via a 3D printer or other methods. There have been bipartisan calls for this legislation, […]
