Dems Close Ranks As Trump Tries To Exploit SoS Password Pickle

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 […]

Jena Griswold Has a Big (2026) Election Problem

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. […]

Caraveo Opens Small Lead In America’s Hottest Congressional Race

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 […]

Who Will be the 47th President of the United States of America?

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 […]

Who Will Win Colorado’s Tightest Congressional Races? (Poll #5)

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 […]

Reader Opinion: Vote Yes on Prop 131

Keep Colorado’s Government Vibrant There are a number of good reasons to vote yes on Prop 131. I’m going to speak to two incredibly important ones. Important because Colorado has become a one party state. This is a recent change and as such we’re just starting to see the ramifications from it. First some background. […]

Evans’ Support of Group That Defends Christian Homeschoolers Who Hit Their Kids Isn’t Surprising

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder The most notable moment from last week’s 9News debate between Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo and state Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) was on a topic few observers expected to be discussed at all: child abuse. Moderator Kyle Clark asked Evans about his membership in Heritage […]

Arizona GOP Involvement in Colorado Congressional Races Gets National Attention

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 […]

Down The Darkest Rabbit Hole To A Place Trump Calls Aurora

The dust has settled in the extreme northern smidge of the city of Aurora next to Denver International Airport where ex-President Donald Trump held a rally Friday to promote his fictional narrative of the “takeover” of this Republican-controlled city of 400,000 by migrant gangs, to be followed shortly by the overrunning of the entire state […]

What to Expect as the Donald Trump Nonsense Tour Lands in Colorado

Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump descends upon the Gaylord Resort in [squints] Aurora today to air his rambling list of grievances and explain why everyone in Colorado has been killed by Venezuelan gangs. And Aurora taxpayers get to pay for it (the reimbursement check will undoubtedly not be in the mail). If you’re planning on […]

Colorado GOP Peeing Its Collective Pants Over Trump Visit

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 […]

The Big Lie is Back, But it’s Really About 2024 Now

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 […]

Arizona Republican Party Throws Down for Gabe Evans?

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 […]

Who Will Win Colorado’s Two Tightest Congressional Races?

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. Pols’ readers have been oddly accurate in predicting outcomes over the years, so while these polls are completely unscientific, we think the results still carry some real weight. As always, we […]

Dave Williams Triumphs In Colorado Republican Party Leadership Battle

As Colorado Public Radio’s Megan Verlee reports, an El Paso County judge has once again upended the struggle to determine who is in control of the Colorado Republican Party, perhaps decisively this time–ruling that the vote to remove state party chairman Dave “Brandon Out” Williams organized by pretender-chairman Eli Bremer was not sufficient to accomplish […]

Gabe Evans Will “Check The Box,” And That’s Why He Can’t Be Trusted

The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul gives us a lot to unpack today with a long-awaited hard look at CO-08 Republican congressional candidate Gabe Evans’ views on the social issues of marriage equality and abortion rights. Responding to ads slamming with backup Evans’ no-exceptions opposition to abortion as he indicated in several candidate surveys, as well […]
