Jamie Giellis, Walking Facepalm

Denver’s June 4th runoff election is just around the corner. It can’t come soon enough for Mayoral candidate Jamie Giellis, who is trying to oust incumbent Mayor Michael Hancock. We noted in April that Giellis barely manages to vote at a 50% clip — she didn’t even vote in the 2018 Primary Election — which […]

(All class – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Colorado Special Assistant Attorney General Mike Davis was busted by national media last week for tweeting an inflammatory fake photo.

This problem began when Ernie accidentally […]

Republican Recalls: Voter Suppression After the Fact

Bob Seay Recalls of Democratic lawmakers in Colorado are not about making sure lawmakers faithfully represent their communities. Quite the opposite.

Republican attacks on […]
