I have often read that registered Democrats tend to vote later. Is this the case in Colorado with our mail in ballot? The evidence from 2016 seems to say that it is unaffiliated voters and registered Republicans who are late turning in their ballots. Election day in 2016 was on November 8th, as late as […]
UPDATE: Colorado Democrats go point-by-point to rebut George Brauchler: Mr. Brauchler’s Lie: “I was not the primary defense attorney for Koontz” Court Documents: Public court documents reveal that in fact, Mr. Brauchler was the only defense attorney to submit a formal“entry of appearance” to the Court in this case, and that his printed name and Colorado bar number […]
As Westword reports today, the oil and gas industry is spending a positively obscene amount of money on the 2018 election in Colorado: More than one in five dollars donated to all campaigns and political groups in state races in 2018 has been a direct contribution from a fossil fuel corporation. [Pols emphasis] And that sum does […]
In the aftermath of Saturday’s deadly attack on a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh, capping a week of political violence that included a racially motivated shooting in Kentucky and pipe bombs mailed by a pro-Trump Floridian to numerous Democratic leaders and other critics of President Donald Trump, NBC News reported on an underlying spike in social […]

UPDATE: Amanda Henderson of the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado: At the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado our hearts are breaking with the Jewish community at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and with our Jewish family who has been experiencing an increase in anti-Semitic hate and vitriol over the past several years. Hateful and […]
Last week we told you a bit about Brian Watson, the Republican candidate for State Treasurer who has a very checkered history with unpaid taxes and angry business partners. Watson is the owner and operator of Northstar Commercial Partners, and he has said publicly that he will continue that job even if elected Treasurer in November. […]

The Denver Post’s Anna Staver reports from yesterday’s Bernie Sanders GOTV rally at CU Boulder, where reportedly Republicans with cameras were everywhere hoping to catch some item of embarrassment value to Democrats, from the candidates down to the level of individual rallygoers: A top staffer for Colorado gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis got into a confrontation […]
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) and Democrat Jason Crow sat down with 9News political people Kyle Clark and Marshall Zelinger on Tuesday for the final debate of the CO-6 race. You can watch the full 30-minute debate here, or you can read all about it below. Since this could very well be Coffman’s final debate as an incumbent […]
Over the past couple of days President Trump has been suggesting that Congress could vote on a middle class tax cut before the November 6 election. Speaking at a rally for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday, Trump said, “We’re going to be putting in a 10 percent tax cut for middle-income families.” There are a […]
In the last 48 hours there’s been a considerable amount of concern raised by a report from freelance investigative journalist Greg Palast, who has spent many years gumshoeing election processes throughout the 50 states–sometimes finding significant examples of vote suppression on the part of Republican Secretaries of State, Florida 2000 and Ohio 2004 being two prominent […]

CNN reports on the stunning admission late yesterday from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that officials directly subordinate to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman were indeed responsible for the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi inside the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul: After 18 days in which Saudi Arabia adamantly denied that any harm had […]
Oh, so we’ve reached THAT stage of desperation. I see. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/89TclUfJ65 — Logan M. Davis (@LoganMDavis) October 19, 2018 Making the rounds on social media today is the ad you can see above from a group calling itself the Save Our State PAC, warning that electing Jared Polis governor will “bring Sharia to our […]
It is more important than ever to get out there, get involved, and be heard in politics. The problem is that many people just don’t know where to start. Registering to vote and heading to the polls is straightforward, but it can be difficult to determine how to begin the process of being more politically […]
A story out today from investigative journalist David Sirota via Westword exposes an audacious new ad campaign from oil and gas producer Noble Energy, directly advocating a no vote on Proposition 112 from their corporate ad budget–and refusing to disclose their spending the way anyone else running such an ad would have to: In a […]
To know Brian Watson is to be wary of Brian Watson. Watson is the Republican candidate running against Democrat Dave Young to become Colorado’s next State Treasurer. The battle for Treasurer is a top-of-the-ballot race that generates bottom-of-the-ballot interest, in part because it is an antiquated role that probably shouldn’t still be an elected position. […]
The Colorado Sun’s John Frank reports on a new poll from GOP-aligned local pollster Magellan Strategies showing Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis up seven points on Republican Walker Stapleton–and that’s not all: Democrat Jared Polis remains in a comfortable lead in the Colorado governor’s race, according to a new poll, but the numbers showing a […]
The Denver Post’s Ben Botkin breaks news today that could spell big trouble for incumbent Republican Secretary of State Wayne Williams, who is facing an unexpectedly stout challenge from Democratic election lawyer Jena Griswold. Readers will recall a major scandal that erupted in the latter part of former SoS Scott Gessler’s single term, in which […]
After almost two years of organizing to fight back against President Trump and the far right from Washington, D.C. to Denver, the 2018 midterms are finally here! Mail ballots go out to Colorado voters this week, and the whole world is watching to see how our state and nation will take action to reverse the […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Roper reports, last night featured a debate between the two candidates vying to succeed ousted fringe-right Rep. Judy Reyher in Pueblo’s HD-47. As readers will recall the Republican in this race, Don Bendell, ran into trouble when his three children accused him of shirking his child support obligations for many […]
If you flip a coin at any given time, there is a very good chance that it will land on either “heads” or “tails.” This, in a nutshell, is what you’ll find from reading CNN’s new prognostication feature called “The Forecast.” In “The Forecast,” which CNN unveiled today with a big headline on its website, Harry […]
(Cool story, Cory – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Asked yesterday if he thinks the U.S. Senate is “broken,” U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) replied, “It’s working.” Gardner’s comments came as leaders of both political parties have said the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was one of the lowest moments for the senate […]
