It’s not us…it’s you. Republican Lauren Boebert moved across the state in late 2023 because it was clear that she would not have been re-elected to Congress in her home district of CO-03; in 2022, Boebert only managed to defeat Democrat Adam Frisch by 546 votes. Boebert’s cross-Colorado move paid off last week when she […]
Republican Rep.-elect Gabe Evans, basking in the glow of his exceedingly narrow win over incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo in Colorado’s ultra-swing CO-08, held his first press conference since Caraveo’s concession yesterday to carefully word his way around the thornier aspects of returning President Donald Trump’s agenda–starting with Trump’s vow to initiate the largest deportation […]
Republican Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd defeated Democrat Adam Frisch last week by a 4-point margin, keeping the third congressional district in Republican hands in a post-Boebert era. Hurd and his campaign advisers judged (correctly) that he could just ride the ‘R’ next to his name in a district that generally favors Republican candidates not named […]
On the morning after the election last Wednesday, embattled-then-vindicated chairman of the Colorado Republican Party Dave “Brandon Forever” Williams sent out an email blast celebrating Donald Trump’s nationwide victory, side-stepping the obvious problem that Trump for a third consecutive election failed to carry the state of Colorado. Radical Democrats, and even sell out RINO’s like […]
SUNDAY UPDATE: With the count failing to close a persistent gap of around 2,500 votes, incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo concedes the race to Republican challenger Gabe Evans: —– As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, the agonizingly slow count in the close-as-can-be CO-08 race, which as of this writing is […]
Warning about non-existent “election fraud” has been almost a requirement for membership in the modern Republican Party. Everything is fraudulent…unless Republicans are winning, and then it’s fine. And as we found out again this week, whenever actual election fraud attempts take place, it is always — ALWAYS — a Republican who is involved. From The Colorado […]
The Colorado Republican Party under chairman Dave “Brandon Who?” Williams wrapped up their minimal contribution to the 2024 elections on Tuesday morning with yet another low-budget email blast substituting for a coordinated campaign, before a national “red wave” broke on Colorado’s Front Range with local Republicans totally unprepared to capitalize on this change of fortunes […]
As the Colorado Sun reports, one of the nation’s most competitive congressional races is neck-and-neck the morning after as ballots continue to be counted in two politically polar opposite counties in the swing CO-08 race, conservative Weld County versus the larger swing suburban Adams County, each breaking strongly for Republican Gabe Evans and incumbent Rep. […]
UPDATE 8:20PM: Incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo posts a small lead over Gabe Evans, but these results are subject to change with only Adams County reporting so far: —– UPDATE 8:15PM: Decision Desk calls CO-04 for incumbent carpetbagger Rep. Lauren Boebert. UPDATE 8:00PM: Amendment 80, the controversial school voucher initiative, trails 52-47%. UPDATE 7:45PM: Colorado […]
The campaign working to pass Amendment 80, a radical school choice amendment intended to usher in a private school voucher system in Colorado with as-yet unknown but potentially catastrophic fiscal consequences, gained notoriety this election season with a highly controversial text message blast to large audiences of Colorado voters last month falsely suggesting that the […]
For the last month or so, we’ve been conducting weekly polls on this site to get a sense of how readers of Colorado Pols are feeling about the two tightest congressional races in Colorado. (Here’s Poll #1, Poll #2, Poll #3, Poll #4, and Poll #5) As we’ve noted many times, our readers have been […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast… it’s everything you need to know before election day! We make our final calls for 2024 and bring in the big prognosticator himself: Pollster of the pod Andrew Baumann, Partner at Global Strategy Group, predicts the future and lays down a marker for what he thinks is going to […]
Reproductive justice coalition launches campaign to put abortion access in Colorado Constitution Keep Abortion Safe Vending Machine – Amendment 79 Colorado’s Trump ruling sets off political firestorm, raising legal stakes and putting state at center of debate No Regrets: Colorado Progressives Stand Up For The Constitution Loflin: Republicans, donors should reject Trump Colorado Progressive Voters […]
This morning, a joint press release from Gov. Jared Polis and Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that the emergency operation to change every voting hardware password accidentally disclosed by the SoS office in a publicly-posted spreadsheet, which resulted in a major political embarrassment just days before the election despite posing little actual security threat […]
Here are the latest ballot return numbers via the Colorado Secretary of State’s office: As you can see from the graph at the bottom, Democrats have really rocketed upward in recent days when it comes to ballot returns. Remember: It is WAY too late to try to return a ballot by mail at this point. […]
As the Aurora Sentinel’s Susan Greene reports, all is not well on the Republican-controlled Aurora City Council, crafted over the course of years by former GOP congressman Mike Coffman but now beset with infighting centering on one particularly vociferous council member whose recent fame has come at a terrible cost for the rest of the […]
We wrote just over a week ago about a brewing scandal inside gazillionaire Donald Trump supporter Elon Musk’s America PAC operation, which has taken over responsibility for field campaign efforts for the Trump campaign in a number of key states. An investigation in the UK Guardian revealed that a large percentage of the campaign’s recorded […]
One week before Election Day, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold started fielding the wrong kind of calls. By the end of the evening on Tuesday, one election cycle — but not this one — had changed significantly. It has long been an open secret that the ambitious Griswold — who tested the waters for a U.S. […]
At the beginning of the month, an Emerson Polling survey of Colorado’s Eighth Congressional District found the race between incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo and her Republican challenger state Rep. Gabe Evans deadlocked at 44% with 12% of respondents still undecided. This poll was cited throughout October by both campaigns as a call to action […]
We’re continue to track the odd story about the Arizona Republican Party sending campaign mailers into Colorado on behalf of Republicans Gabe Evans (CO-08) and Jeff Hurd (CO-03). While we are only aware of one such mail piece floating around in Colorado in support of Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd, mailboxes have been considerably more crowded […]
By now, you’ve probably heard about the public relations disaster that unfolded for Donald Trump’s campaign at a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, in which comedian and podcast star Tony Hinchcliffe deadpanned his way through a routine that denigrated just about everybody except for the undereducated white males most steadfastly in […]
Alright, Polsters, it’s time to opine on the biggest race of them all. For weeks we’ve been asking you to give your thoughts on who might come out ahead in Colorado tightest congressional races. Now we want your thoughts on the big enchilada on the ballot. As always, we want to know WHAT YOU THINK […]
We’re just over a week away from the election in one of the nation’s most competitive congressional districts, where Republican freshman state Rep. Gabe Evans is running a close race against the incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo. Throughout the campaign since winning the Republican primary in June, Evans has struggled with a cagey position on […]
First, the good news if you are a supporter of the Colorado Republican Party: At least they aren’t talking this week about furries or transgender surgeries performed by the school principal. And now, the predictable bad news: The Colorado GOP is still laser-focused on internal grudges. The latest Colorado GOP newsletter/call to action out this […]
It’s that time again to ask readers of Colorado Pols about what’s going to happen when the votes are tallied. (Here’s Poll #1, Poll #2, Poll #3, and Poll #4) As we’ve noted many times, our readers have been oddly accurate in predicting outcomes over the years; while these polls are completely unscientific, we think […]
