(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder According to a social media post from “America’s Mom,” Sherronna Bishop, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) had prior knowledge of Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters’ plan to breach the security of Mesa County’s Dominion Voting machines. “Tina Peters is a whistleblower,” wrote Bishop on […]
Welp. This story just keeps getting more bizarre. As we’ve noted in this space, the Arizona Republican Party has now sent two different direct mail pieces into CO-08 in support of Republican Gabe Evans as he tries to unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo. As you are no doubt aware, Arizona is not in Colorado […]
Republican Gabe Evans has been trying hard to present himself as a normal person throughout his campaign for Congress in CO-08. On Tuesday evening, the real Gabe Evans finally slipped out. During a live debate on 9News, Evans was asked THREE TIMES by co-moderator Kyle Clark to state his belief on when it might be […]
Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump will visit Aurora (sort of) on Friday when his campaign holds a rally at the Gaylord Resort, which is near Denver International Airport and not anywhere close to the apartment complex that he and other right-wing screechers claim has been taken over by Venezuelan gangs. In order to celebrate Trump’s […]
As the Aurora Sentinel reports, word broke late yesterday (H/T to the Colorado Times Recorder) that ex-President Donald Trump, having blown a self-imposed deadline to visit the city of Aurora, Colorado after adding the false tale of the city’s “takeover” by Venezuelan gang members to his stump speeches, will indeed make an appearance in Aurora […]
It’s that time in the election cycle when we ask readers of Colorado Pols about what’s going to happen when the votes are tallied. We posted the first poll last week. 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 […]
Arizona has nine congressional districts…or 10 if you count Colorado’s eighth congressional district. As we noted last week, the Arizona Republican Party sent out a mailer in support of Republican Gabe Evans, who is trying to unseat Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo in CO-08. This was a strange expenditure that we have never seen in 20+ […]
As Reuben Schafir reports for the Durango Herald, on Friday afternoon Colorado’s carpetbagging sensation Rep. Lauren Boebert did something that at first glance readers might not have expected: hosting a town hall in the southwest Colorado town of Ignacio, hundreds of miles deep in Boebert’s soon-to-be-former Third Congressional District, actually making good on a promise […]
The 2024 election will conclude in less than a month. Naturally, Republicans across the country have decided to focus their attention on the 2020 election as they make their final pitch to voters. Questioning the results of the 2020 Presidential Election rushed back in a big way last week during the closing moments of the Vice […]
The sentencing last Thursday of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to a total of nine years of orange as the new black for her official misconduct and conspiracy to tamper with election equipment in her custody as part of a half-baked plot directed by nationally-known election deniers to prove the 2020 election was stolen […]
There’s a well-worn axiom in politics that says, If you’re explaining, you’re losing. If that saying still holds true in 2024, then Republican Gabe Evans is most definitely losing. Evans is clearly worried that his history of opposition to abortion rights will cost him votes in his quest to defeat incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo […]

UPDATE #2: It’s been a long road from Mar-a-Lago to locked up for ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters: At Mar-a-Lago in 2022, Trump called Tina Peters a “rock star,” praised her work investigating his false election claims, and said he would look at endorsing her. Peters was just sentenced to 9 years in prison for […]
Democratic CO-04 candidate Trisha Calvarese is an arithmetic longshot running against Colorado’s controversy-eating carpetbagger Rep. Lauren Boebert in this heavily Republican district, but Calvarese has been raising big bucks to make the most of her run–and as Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, Calvarese is out with a hard-hitting new […]
“You put on eyeliner, and people start screaming at you. How strange, and how marvellous.” –Robert Smith
It’s not an allegation we would make lightly even against the infamously conspiracy-befuddled Rep. Lauren Boebert, but this Facebook post from Aspen socialite and friend of Boebert Maggie Silvers raises the honest question: We re-read the above post a couple of times in hope of discovering how we had somehow misunderstood, but scrolling down it […]
As Westword’s Bennito Kelty reports, the substantial viewership of daytime talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw, trusted by millions for the advice he dispenses on air but also with a record of controversies and legal trouble of his own manufacture, was infotained on Monday with yet another wildly exaggerated portrayal of Aurora, Colorado, a city […]
A new poll this morning of Colorado’s (and one of the nation’s) most competitive congressional races, Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, shows a race as close as the mapmakers intended when they drew this almost perfectly divided district: A new poll of voters in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District shows a tie between Democratic incumbent Yadira Caraveo […]
If you are a likely voter without a strong record of political affiliation, we don’t need to tell you that your mailbox is full of campaign advertisements. This is particularly true if you live in congressional district eight, which is home to the most visible 2024 race in Colorado between incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo […]

(Where do all these Nazis keep coming from? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder For the second time this month, a supporter of Republican congressional candidate Gabe Evans has been found to be promoting racist and antisemitic content online. On Sept 11, Evans fired his political director for her […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, we’re coming up on two weeks since ex-President Donald Trump promised to visit what he describes as the war-torn streets of Aurora, Colorado, where roving Venezuelan “supergangs” are eating the dogs and cats… Sorry, we got the details mixed up. It’s Haitians eating the pets in Springfield, Ohio, […]
During the Summer Olympic Games in Paris last August, as readers will remember, a controversy erupted over a female Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who was dubiously accused of being male on her way to winning the gold medal in her weight classification. Khelif’s bout against Italian boxer Angela Carini ended early after Carini stopped the […]
