Remember, Friends: Ballots Must be Taken to Drop Box Now

If you are still holding on to a ballot for the 2025 election, which ends on Tuesday at 7:00 pm, remember that it is far too late to drop that ballot in the mail. Ballots must be received by the county clerk before 7:00 pm on Tuesday, November 4 — postmarks don’t count. For a list of […]

First Ballot Return Numbers of 2025

The Colorado Secretary of State’s office has released the first ballot return numbers for the 2025 election: For as much as Republicans complain about mail balloting, it’s pretty clear that Coloradans love the process.

Medicaid Cuts Will Increase Healthcare Costs for All Coloradans, Say Experts on Greeley Panel

Don’t Look Now But Jeff Crank’s Challenger Raised A Pile Of Cash

Actually, as Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, go ahead and look because it’s objectively newsworthy: Colorado Springs Democrat Jessica Killin, an Army veteran and former chief of staff to second gentleman Doug Emhoff, raised more than $1 million in the initial quarter of her campaign to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. […]

Another Stupid Republican Recall Sputters Out

As Cassandra Ballard reports for the Aurora Sentinel, Aurora’s headline-hoarding far-right city councillor Danielle Jurnisky’s latest cry for attention, a recall campaign she initiated against Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden, will not move forward after Jurinsky and her usual-suspect GOP attorney Suzanne Taheri informed the Secretary of State that they don’t have the signatures: […]

Aurora City Council Campaign Rally Embraces Right-Wing Rhetoric

(Nonpartisan no more — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Municipal elections in Aurora are supposed to be non-partisan, but while Aurora’s elections are many things, non-partisan is not one of them.

Republican Candidate For Governor Would Secede All Over Again

Back in 2022, GOP Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer was running for Congress in Colorado’s then brand-new and closely divided CO-08 with no apologies about one of the wackier points in her long record in elected office representing deep red Weld County, helping organize in 2013 a proposal for Weld and several other lightly-populated rural Colorado counties […]

New Ad Campaign Wallops Gabe Evans On Trump Tariffs

There isn’t time in the news cycle to take note of every ad that goes up in America’s hottest U.S. House race, Colorado’s ultra-swing CO-08 featuring America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans, but when it’s a timely, hard-hitting, and (most importantly) well-funded ad campaign like this latest offering from the House Majority Forward PAC, […]

Busted On The Take, And Don’t Call Tom Homan Safe Yet

Over the weekend, MSNBC broke the latest problematic news for the “most transparent administration in American history”–a story that in any other administration would have ended in federal bribery charges, but because border czar Tom Homan is tight with Donald Trump, no such legal oversight apparently applies: The federal investigation was launched in western Texas […]

Barb Kirkmeyer’s Campaign For Governor Is All But Launched

Four years ago, then-Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl was on the run from inquiring reporters after a questionably lengthy campaign “pre-launch” period, during which the independent expenditure campaign operating on Ganahl’s behalf could money up while Ganahl carried out a “podcast tour” of the state that served as a campaign tour in all but name. […]

What Trump’s Loony Swipe At Mail-In Ballots Really Means

We’re taking the rare step of posting the text of President Donald Trump’s wild and wacky screed early this morning presumably in response to a headline about Jeffrey Epstein he didn’t like, to ensure that search engines capture every word of it for posterity: I am going to lead a movement to get rid of […]

Colorado Dems Challenge Trump Administration At Aurora ICE Jail

As Seth Klamann reports for The Denver Post: For the third […]

What The Gabe Evans Primary Grumbling Really Means

We don’t normally find much credible to cite over at the conservative website Complete Colorado, once colloquially known as Colorado Drudge before the world forgot who Matt Drudge ever was, but a story from the weekend by right-wing paid poison pen Sherrie Peif did catch our attention–a piece ostensibly reporting on, but without much subtlety […]

DougCo Republican Activist Plots To Primary All “RiNOS”

Epilogue: The Jeff Small “Shakedown” Story Isn’t Over

Embed from Getty Images A major story that broke last week in the Washington Post and then significantly expanded upon by the Denver Post last Friday has gone mostly quiet this week, but that could just be temporary as questions continue to swirl about Jeff Small, a principal with the Republican consultant firm 76 Group […]

As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, the story that broke this week in the Washington Post about Republican political consultant Jeff Small’s rebuffed approaches to Republican county clerks to permit outside access to voting equipment, a la convicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, is taking a turn towards something closer to extortion and […]
