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 […]
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 […]
