While browsing the numerous endorsements of the many candidates, one endorsement caught my eye. Scott Lamm endorsed Republican Secretary of State candidate Scott Gessler. http://scottgessler.com/endors… Many of you might might ask, who is Scott Lamm. Scott is the son of former Dem. Governor Dick Lamm. I found this quite interesting considering the amount of news […]
Want to see what happens when the state’s chief of election shenanigans runs for the post of chief elections enforcement officer? We didn’t want this weekend report from the Colorado Statesman’s Marianne Goodland to escape mention. Excerpts, make sure you read it all: A complaint filed against Secretary of State Bernie Buescher by a supporter […]
(A bit of a long read, but worth taking a look in a race that has garnered little attention to this point. The large Denver newspaper has an interesting story on a half-million dollars in fines run up by a committee that Gessler is in charge of overseeing. – promoted by Colorado Pols) This year, […]
We’ve been fascinated with the campaign of Republican Secretary of State candidate Scott Gessler over the last year, but not in a good way. For most of the last 18 months, Gessler has been spending his campaign cash as fast as he can raise it; in 2009, he brought in almost $87,000 but spent an […]
You can say this about Scott Gessler, the Republican candidate for Secretary of State: At least he isn’t running for State Treasurer. We’ve wondered about Gessler and his bizarre spending habits ever since he first entered the race for Secretary of State last year. If you haven’t been following the story, through the first three […]
Lost in the latest round of campaign finance reports (and no doubt he wishes it would stay lost) was the news that Republican Scott Gessler raised a measly $12,800 in his bid for Secretary of State. Gessler did manage to spend $21,569 (including a whopping $16,000 on various “consultants”), leaving him with just $6,336 cash […]
(When you can’t beat ’em the old-fashioned way — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Ostensibly, ballot initiatives are meant as a way for the average citizen to create political change without the Legislature. But over half of the initiatives which could be put to Colorado voters in 2026 have […]
An email blast from Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado this morning warns of the approval of the ballot title for a new flavor of the “Personhood” abortion ban ballot measures that Colorado voters have rejected at the polls repeatedly despite nearly 20 years of fruitlessly trying: Yesterday, the Colorado Title Board approved a title for an […]
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 […]
Republicans have had a hard time winning elections in Colorado in recent years. The way back to political relevance in the state legislature, such that one exists when the GOP only holds 19 of a possible 65 seats, apparently starts with a bonkers candidate in Douglas County named Matt Burcham. The 2022 “Bluenami” in Colorado […]
The outcome of the 2022 race for Governor in Colorado did not hinge on Republican Heidi Ganahl’s bizarre obsession with the ridiculous idea that public schools in Colorado were infested with children dressed up as animals (which she referred to as “furries“). But it certainly didn’t help her cause — and the catshit craziness continues […]
The Theme: Patience and Persistence This year’s legislative session was by no means guaranteed to be a success, having begin with friction within both party caucuses and a major leadership debacle among Republicans. But despite an environment more acrimonious than ever and some moments of appalling lack of decorum, 2024 turned out to be one […]
Tuesday’s hearing in the Colorado House Judiciary Committee of a GOP-sponsored resolution to impeach Secretary of State Jena Griswold in misguided retribution for the Trump v. Anderson U.S. Supreme Court case, to which Griswold was a defendant along with former President Donald Trump, ended in humiliation for its Republican sponsors and so-called “expert witnesses” with […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) When it comes time for a party led by election deniers to count ballots, trust is inevitably hard to come by. Chairman Dave Williams, along with former state Rep. Ron Hanks, a fellow election fraud conspiracist whom Williams has appointed Chair of the party’s Ballot & Election Security Committee, are in […]
As we noted on Thursday, House Republicans made a lame attempt to convince House Speaker Julie McCluskie to allow them to waste yet more of the legislature’s time by attempting to discuss impeachment proceedings for Secretary of State Jena Griswold. Republicans love to publicly attack Griswold because it makes their election fraud-obsessed MAGA base all […]
As the Colorado Sun’s Sandra Fish reports, a last-ditch attempt by indicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to avoid prosecution on felony charges related to the breach of election system security in her office in 2021 as part of a failed attempt to produce evidence that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald […]
Yesterday’s ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court disqualifying ex-President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot in Colorado based on Trump’s participation in an insurrection against the federal government on January 6th, 2021 has provoked a discomforting firestorm of backlash and even threats of secession and civil war from supporters of the ex-President. As the Colorado […]
The Colorado Supreme Court began hearing oral arguments today in the case of whether or not Republican Donald Trump should be barred from the 2024 Presidential ballot in Colorado on account of the fact that he incited an insurrection. Today’s arguments are part of an appeal from a November ruling in which Denver District Court […]

UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reports that the Colorado Supreme Court has accepted the appeals from both sides and will hear the case early next month: NEW: Colorado Supreme Court agrees to hear the Trump ballot access case. Oral argument: Dec. 6. Both sides appealed after a Denver District Judge ruled the 14th Amendment didn't apply […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Ask many Colorado Republicans about their thoughts on U.S. elections, and you will hear a variety of answers. Some, like failed 2022 gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl, refuse to say in public what they told supporters in private. Others raise doubts about specific aspects of past elections, such as mail-in ballots or […]
Last Thursday, as 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reports, retiring GOP Rep. “KenSNBC” Buck testified remotely from Washington in the Denver District Court trial seeking to disqualify ex-President Donald Trump from the 2024 Colorado primary ballot for his role in inciting the January 6th, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol and the associated plot to deny Joe […]
Two weeks after trying (and failing) to get a lawsuit dismissed that seeks to keep Donald Trump off of the 2024 ballot in Colorado, lawyers for The Big Orange Guy will be in court all week arguing that Jan. 6, 2021 was a totally friendly insurrection. As Nick Coltrain reports for The Denver Post: Over […]
The Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain updates on the ongoing case of Andersen v. Griswold, filed by a group of Republican and unaffiliated voters seeking to force Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold to remove ex-President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot under the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause: Trump’s lawyers argued in September that […]
(Throwing crazy money after bad — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Ex-Trump attorney turned far-right radio host Jenna Ellis has raised over $100,000 for her legal defense. Her top donors include fellow election-denying talk show hosts as well as other MAGA Republicans. Charged with two counts of criminal conspiracy related to attempting to overturn the 2020 […]
