For these Republicans, the solution to their electoral problem is not to find a better way to connect with voters or to adjust their policies or campaign strategies. Instead, their […]

Denver7’s Blair Miller reports on final passage this week of Senate Bill 21-078, the “Isabella Joy Thallas Act” requiring guns that are lost or stolen to be reported as such to police within 5 days of becoming aware they are missing: The bill, if passed and signed into law by Gov. Polis, would require people […]
Driving on the high way at high speeds next to a huge cargo truck can be stressful, as they tend to take up more space that typical vehicles, and we intuitively understand that they can cause much more damage than small cars. If you have been involved in a an accident that involves a truck, click […]
Fresh off his loss to Kristi Burton Brown in the race to be the next Colorado Republican Party chairman, former Secretary of State, “election truther” of record, and red meat slinger extraordinaire Scott Gessler seems much more upfront about how he really feels: By “communists” we don’t think Gessler means you personally. We don’t think. […]
Yesterday afternoon, Colorado’s Congressional Redistricting Commission voted to 11-0 to remove Republican Danny Moore from his position as chairman of the commission, with Moore himself abstaining. This vote came just a few days after a news story disclosing Moore’s history of second-guessing the results of the 2020 presidential election, referring to the COVID-19 pandemic as the […]
UPDATE: Statement from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold: Colorado is recognized as the national gold standard for elections, and I’m thrilled with the decision to move the MLB All-Star Game to Coors Field in Denver. The truth is Colorado’s election model works. We mail ballots to all voters, have early voting, and same day […]

(All you can say is sham-wow – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Tea Party/Patriot wing of the Colorado Republican Party flexed its collective muscle last Saturday, leaving no doubt who’s in charge of the state GOP. Despite a video featuring cavalcade of endorsements from nearly two dozen legislative and party officials, former Colorado Secretary of […]
ABC News reports the latest on allegations that flamboyant Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz has sexual proclivities that, as former President Donald Trump once infamously said of Jeff Epstein as a compliment, run on the “younger side.” Which is the polite way to describe alleged sex trafficking of minors: The federal investigation targeting Republican Rep.

Colorado Newsline’s Faith Miller reports on a quasi-filibustering yesterday by minority Republicans in the Colorado House of House Bill 21-1108: a bill that clarifies Colorado’s robust anti-discrimination laws to specifically include transgender people under such protections, which is already how the courts have interpreted the law in practice. HB-1108 would clarify that the state’s existing […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii discuss the Colorado Republican Party’s historically unsuccessful new leadership team; the election fraud truther on the Colorado Independent Redistricting Commission; infrastructure week (for real this time); and another segment of “Legislating With Crayons,” in which Republicans unwittingly make the case for […]

UPDATE: Colorado Public Radio reports that Rep. Lauren Boebert raised about $700,000 in Q1 of 2021–not a disaster, but considering Sen. Kerry Donovan didn’t even get into the race until February and raised almost as much it’s not particularly auspicious either. Original post follows. —– The handicappers at Politico are very impressed: The top Democrat […]
When we last left the Recall Polis 2.0 campaign back in December of 2020, organizers were attempting to explain to their dismayed volunteers how despite all their best efforts, less than one third of the required 600,000+ signatures that would be required to put a recall question against Gov. Jared Polis on a statewide ballot […]
This is Danny Moore. He is a Republican from Centennial, and the recently-elected Chairperson of the Colorado Independent Congressional Redistricting Committee. 9News reported on Monday that Moore “is an election-rigging conspiracy theorist,” which is odd. Evan Wyloge of the Colorado Springs Gazette followed up with another story today in which Moore makes no apologies for […]
The Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports on a mailing list-building gimmick from the nationwide conservative advocacy group Americans For Prosperity’s Colorado chapter, who is apparently giving away five (count ’em) $200 prepaid gas cards to five lucky winners who provide the group with their contact information: Jesse Mallory, the conservative organization’s state director and […]

Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade has the latest in the growing body of documentation by national and international news outlets of the train-wreck spectacle that is Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado–this time making a long-debunked contention about gun safety that for local observers prompted a moment of deja vu: In the wake of a mass shooting […]

The Denver Post’s Conrad Swanson reports after last weekend’s election for the next leader of the Colorado Republican Party–won after three rounds of voting by the party’s Central Committee by current vice-chair Kristi Burton Brown over insider-backed former Secretary of State Scott Gessler, it’s a result that will shape the state’s minority party for the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) British speaker Katie Hopkins is a racist, Islamophobic bigot. New Zealand speaker Trevor Louden is an unapologetic anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist. The pair are currently visiting Colorado on an eleven-stop speaking tour organized by former Colorado Republican Party national delegate and promoted by numerous Republican and conservative groups across the state.
