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 […]
As Cassandra Ballard reports for the Aurora Sentinel, the fifth new chief of police in Aurora since 2022, Todd Chamberlain, held his first public availability since the controversy over the department recruiting new officers from the crowd who attended ex-President Donald Trump’s rally on the edge of town early this month–an event at which Trump […]
Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve been tracking an unusual story about how the Arizona Republican Party is sending direct mail pieces to Colorado in support of Republican congressional candidates Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd in CO-03 and Gabe “-ish” Evans in CO-08. We know of at least three mail pieces for Evans and at least […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, an apparent attempt to fraudulently cast as many as two dozen ballots by persons other than the intended voters has been intercepted by the state’s voter signature verification system in Mesa County–where, as readers know, the former county clerk is now cooling her heels in county jail […]
The Colorado Secretary of State’s office released the latest ballot return numbers with 12 days left until Election Day. Here’s how things look through Wednesday: We’re not surprised to see that ballots are coming in at a slower pace than in the last Presidential election in 2020. There is no statewide race in Colorado this […]
9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger fact-checked a pair of related TV spots in the red-hot CO-08 congressional race last night, with two Republican PACs attacking incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo for her opposition as a state legislator to Colorado’s so-called Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), the fiscal chokehold measure narrowly passed in 1992 that has bedeviled […]
Proposition 131 is promoted as being focused on ranked-choice voting, but it is much more about implementing radical changes to the primary election system and restricting voter choice in the general election. The proposition would complicate the voting process, favor wealthier candidates, confuse voters, and fail to deliver a better system. This measure introduces a convoluted […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s James Bartolo reports, after losing earlier this month a second attempt to pass a city ordinance attacking abortion rights, anti-abortion usual suspects at Colorado For Life sent a letter this week to two professed pro-life members of the Pueblo City Council urging them with politically threatening overtones to switch their votes […]
As we noted last week, the Colorado Republican Party has taken its collective eyes off the ball that is the 2024 election cycle…to the extent that they were ever truly paying attention to the only thing that really matters for a state political party (winning elections). There’s little reason to think this might change once […]
In the latest edition of one of our longest-running features, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Texas, where a candidate for State Representative is only pretending to have children of her own. As The Texas Tribune explains, incumbent Republican Rep. Caroline Harris Davila is doing something kinda gross: For those who did […]
Susan Greene reports for the Aurora Sentinel on Mayor Mike Coffman’s State of the City address delivered yesterday, the first report back to the citizens of Aurora after ex-President Donald Trump traveled to the edge of town earlier this month to expound on the fiction that the city has been “taken over” by migrant gangs, […]
Hot on the heels of last week’s contentious text blast from supporters of the school voucher Amendment 80 which falsely (to put it mildly) suggested the measure has the support of the state’s largest teacher’s union the Colorado Education Association, this weekend another misleading text blast went out–this time with a disclaimer identifying the source […]
The 2024 election isn’t over quite yet, but at least one Republican politician in Colorado is already looking ahead to 2026. State Sen. Mark Baisley (R-Roxborough Park) is apparently looking at running for the state’s top job in 2026, when Gov. Jared Polis will be term-limited. As Ernest Luning notes via the social media website […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: Denver-based Blitz Canvassing sends the word out to their crew: DO NOT talk to the press about anybody scamming Elon Musk, claiming “disgruntled” former employees are “conspiring with reporters who want to elect Kamala Harris.” —– A story from the UK Guardian’s Hugo Lowell over the weekend could have serious implications for one […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s James Bartolo reports, Democratic CO-03 candidate Adam Frisch just picked up a significant endorsement that could help swing voters in the district’s largest population center make up their minds: Pueblo Mayor Heather Graham, a registered Republican, is endorsing Democratic candidate Adam Frisch in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District race. Graham told the […]

The Denver Post’s Sunday front page was dominated by the paper’s profiles of the competing candidates in Colorado’s most competitive congressional race in CO-08, a race expected to help decide the majority in the closely-divided U.S. House. Both worthwhile reads–here’s reporter John Aguilar’s profile of incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo–but it’s Seth Klamann’s story on […]
As Colorado Newsline reported Monday, the failed pretender to the position of Colorado Republican Party chairman Eli Bremer conceded final defeat in his months-long quest to unseat chairman Dave “Forever Brandon” Williams by withdrawing the lawsuit to determine the question that was set to begin this week. Bremer’s stand-down comes after an El Paso County […]
It seems that the closer Republicans get to the end of the 2024 election, the more we return to the end of the 2020 election. It’s critical to understand why this is happening. As Talking Points Memo reports, Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance finally gave a straight answer to a question he’s been asked about […]
For a few weeks now, we’ve been tracking the bizarre story of mailers showing up in two Colorado congressional districts — CO-03 and CO-08 — that are paid for by the Arizona Republican Party. This is a strange tactic that we had never seen before in Colorado until recently. We’re not sure it’s legal, and […]
UPDATE: Statement from the Colorado Education Association: Proponents of Amendment 80, a deceptive ballot initiative claiming to be about protecting school choice, are continuing their efforts to mislead voters by falsely claiming that Colorado Education Association (CEA) President Kevin Vick is supportive of the ballot initiative. In a mass text sent to voters statewide, proponents […]
As readers who have been following the summerlong controversy over wildly exaggerated election-year rumors that the city of Aurora has been “conquered” by migrant gangs are aware, much of the story concerns several apartment buildings operated by one property management company CBZ Management, a company that has been out of compliance with city code on […]
After months of trying very hard to portray himself as “normal Republican candidate guy,” the real Gabe Evans is being revealed to the world just in time for voters to make their decision in CO-08. Today in The New York Times, reporter Annie Karni highlights the Republican candidates for Congress across the country who are election […]
Among the 14 statewide measures Colorado voters are working through on this year’s ballot is Proposition 127, which would ban the hunting of mountain lions, lynx, and bobcats, with exceptions for self-defense or defending livestock. It’s not a fight in which we in this space have a dog or a cat, but as FOX 31 […]
(Republished from Colorado Newsline under Creative Commons license) by Sara Wilson, Colorado Newsline October 14, 2024 A lawsuit over the leadership of the Colorado Republican Party has been dismissed, leaving Dave Williams as the chair of the state party after a group of party members tried to vote him out. The lawsuit in El Paso […]
