Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, under criminal investigation over a major breach of election system security in her office that (this goes in the lede of every post now, sorry) did not uncover any evidence of a conspiracy by Dominion Voting Systems to steal the election from Donald Trump, has been in hiding at an […]
The domestic news cycle has pretty much come to a halt this afternoon after suicide bombings attributed to the terrorist group ISIS killed dozens of people including at least 12 American service members outside the gate to Kabul Airport in Afghanistan, where the U.S. military continues a massive effort to airlift tens of thousands of […]

As Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette reports, the grassroots organizing group Rural Colorado United is pressing the case against freshman GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, filing a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics following up on their call for Boebert to release her tax returns–all in response to Rep. Boebert’s still-mysterious disclosure last […]
UPDATE: We’re sorry to report it gets even sillier: Real Americans (see: Boebert, Lauren) don’t need any stinking stock photos of their guns. Even Jeb! Bush has Eli Bremer beat. —– Earlier this month, Republican Eli Bremer formally announced his intention to seek the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate in 2022. Bremer made his announcement […]
The redistricting process in Colorado is much different in 2021 than it was 10 years earlier because of Amendments Y&Z, which created an “independent” redistricting process for redrawing both Congressional and legislative district boundaries. Many of the political players have remained the same, however, and the Republican operatives working on redistricting have already managed to […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Tom Hesse reports, the widening scandal involving Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters as local and federal criminal investigations into a breach of security in Peters’ office that resulted in proprietary election system data being leaked to far-right conspiracy theorists is getting worse by the day: Mesa County Commissioner Scott McInnis […]
As we discussed yesterday, a protest over the weekend in Grand Junction in support of Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who is under investigation for a breach of election system security that resulted in proprietary data being leaked to far-right election conspiracy theorists was attended by freshman GOP state Rep. “Raging” Ron Hanks of Penrose.

We’re still waiting for Colorado’s Independent Congressional Redistricting Committee to finalize new district maps for 2022 as the last bits of data from the 2020 U.S. Census trickle in to states. But one potential candidate for Congress isn’t waiting any longer to jump in the race in Colorado’s as-yet-unknown Eighth Congressional District. State Representative and […]
A press release from the activist group Rural Colorado United is calling for freshman GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert to release her tax returns from 2018 to the present, after a still-mysterious disclosure by Boebert late last week of almost $1 million in compensation paid to Rep. Boebert’s spouse by a Texas-based oil and gas company: After […]
The non-official Twitter account for Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley) Tweeted out a spectacular bit of nonsense this afternoon before somebody apparently came to their senses and hit the ‘DELETE’ button. But, alas, nothing ever REALLY gets erased from the Internet, so we can show you exactly what Team Buck hoped to delete: The screenshot […]
UPDATE: Fog of war, Marshall Zelinger clarifying that the call between Mesa County Commissioner Scott McInnis and Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters was last year, not recently: After relistening to the meeting, the reference Scott McInnis made about a phone call from Tina Peters was a call from last year, when he said she was […]

A late-breaking story yesterday confirmed what everybody in Colorado politics knew from the beginning, but only one side of the aisle was politically able to admit–as the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports, ex-President Donald Trump boasting to an Alabama radio show ahead of a rally there tonight that he “single-handedly” made the decision to relocate […]
We mentioned this story in today’s Get More Smarter update, the vote yesterday by the all-GOP Douglas County Board of Commissioners to opt-out of a mask order from the Tri-County Health Department for children in school ages 2-11 and as a result not yet able to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Elliott Wenzler at Colorado Community […]

UPDATE #3: While Jayson Boebert was allegedly making $478,000 in 2020 working for Terra Energy Productions, here’s what then-candidate Lauren Boebert told RailVail.com about her husband’s job: He works in the natural gas industry. He’s on that one rig that’s drilling West of the Mississippi right now. No, he’s a contractor. [Pols emphasis] Looks like […]
Vice confirming an unverified report we noted two days ago: drain-circling 2020 election conspiracy theorist Mike “MyPillow Guy” Lindell, fresh off his disastrous so-called “Cyber Symposium” which revealed absolutely no election fraud last week in South Dakota, is presently harboring Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters at an undisclosed location while the combined federal and state […]

Yesterday, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Sen. Rick Scott of Florida Tweeted out his warm congratulations to Maria Weese of Aurora, Colorado, on the occasion of her winning something called the NRSC’s “Champion for Freedom” award: Maria’s story is a true example of freedom, and it is people like her that […]
Colorado Public Radio reporters Megan Verlee and Bente Birkeland have the latest on the continuing election equipment security breach scandal in Mesa County, where Clerk Tina Peters is under both local and FBI investigation after passwords and data from election systems was stolen and leaked to far-right conspiracy theorists, in a fruitless attempt to uncover […]
Back in June, we went through the five statewide offices that will be on the ballot in 2022 in an attempt to provide some clarity about who (on the Republican side) might be running for what in Colorado. Two months later, the 2022 election situation (and The Big Line) remains what you might charitably call, […]
UPDATE: CNBC’s Brian Schwartz: Federal officials are pressing Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., for answers on the apparent personal use of thousands of dollars in campaign funds. A letter from the Federal Election Commission to the treasurer of Boebert’s 2022 reelection campaign inquired about four Venmo payments totaling over $6,000. FEC filings show the payments came […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Whoa. NEW: Mesa County search warrants show investigators want logs, docs, texts, voicemail, email from Clerk Tina Peters (R) and her office regarding election voting equipment.
