Here are the latest ballot return numbers via the Colorado Secretary of State’s office: As you can see from the graph at the bottom, Democrats have really rocketed upward in recent days when it comes to ballot returns. Remember: It is WAY too late to try to return a ballot by mail at this point. […]
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. […]
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 […]
“In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.” –Ulysses S. Grant
First, the good news if you are a supporter of the Colorado Republican Party: At least they aren’t talking this week about furries or transgender surgeries performed by the school principal. And now, the predictable bad news: The Colorado GOP is still laser-focused on internal grudges. The latest Colorado GOP newsletter/call to action out this […]
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 […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, an apparent attempt to fraudulently cast as many as two dozen ballots by persons other than the intended voters has been intercepted by the state’s voter signature verification system in Mesa County–where, as readers know, the former county clerk is now cooling her heels in county jail […]
9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger fact-checked a pair of related TV spots in the red-hot CO-08 congressional race last night, with two Republican PACs attacking incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo for her opposition as a state legislator to Colorado’s so-called Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), the fiscal chokehold measure narrowly passed in 1992 that has bedeviled […]
“Ballots are the rightful, and peaceful, successors of bullets, and that when ballots have fairly, and constitutionally, decided, there can be successful appeal, back to bullets; that there can be no successful appeal except to ballots themselves, at succeeding elections.” — Abraham Lincoln
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s James Bartolo reports, after losing earlier this month a second attempt to pass a city ordinance attacking abortion rights, anti-abortion usual suspects at Colorado For Life sent a letter this week to two professed pro-life members of the Pueblo City Council urging them with politically threatening overtones to switch their votes […]
As we noted last week, the Colorado Republican Party has taken its collective eyes off the ball that is the 2024 election cycle…to the extent that they were ever truly paying attention to the only thing that really matters for a state political party (winning elections). There’s little reason to think this might change once […]
In the latest edition of one of our longest-running features, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Texas, where a candidate for State Representative is only pretending to have children of her own. As The Texas Tribune explains, incumbent Republican Rep. Caroline Harris Davila is doing something kinda gross: For those who did […]
Susan Greene reports for the Aurora Sentinel on Mayor Mike Coffman’s State of the City address delivered yesterday, the first report back to the citizens of Aurora after ex-President Donald Trump traveled to the edge of town earlier this month to expound on the fiction that the city has been “taken over” by migrant gangs, […]
The 2024 election isn’t over quite yet, but at least one Republican politician in Colorado is already looking ahead to 2026. State Sen. Mark Baisley (R-Roxborough Park) is apparently looking at running for the state’s top job in 2026, when Gov. Jared Polis will be term-limited. As Ernest Luning notes via the social media website […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: Denver-based Blitz Canvassing sends the word out to their crew: DO NOT talk to the press about anybody scamming Elon Musk, claiming “disgruntled” former employees are “conspiring with reporters who want to elect Kamala Harris.” —– A story from the UK Guardian’s Hugo Lowell over the weekend could have serious implications for one […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s James Bartolo reports, Democratic CO-03 candidate Adam Frisch just picked up a significant endorsement that could help swing voters in the district’s largest population center make up their minds: Pueblo Mayor Heather Graham, a registered Republican, is endorsing Democratic candidate Adam Frisch in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District race. Graham told the […]

The Denver Post’s Sunday front page was dominated by the paper’s profiles of the competing candidates in Colorado’s most competitive congressional race in CO-08, a race expected to help decide the majority in the closely-divided U.S. House. Both worthwhile reads–here’s reporter John Aguilar’s profile of incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo–but it’s Seth Klamann’s story on […]
As Colorado Newsline reported Monday, the failed pretender to the position of Colorado Republican Party chairman Eli Bremer conceded final defeat in his months-long quest to unseat chairman Dave “Forever Brandon” Williams by withdrawing the lawsuit to determine the question that was set to begin this week. Bremer’s stand-down comes after an El Paso County […]
(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 […]
It seems that the closer Republicans get to the end of the 2024 election, the more we return to the end of the 2020 election. It’s critical to understand why this is happening. As Talking Points Memo reports, Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance finally gave a straight answer to a question he’s been asked about […]
UPDATE: Statement from the Colorado Education Association: Proponents of Amendment 80, a deceptive ballot initiative claiming to be about protecting school choice, are continuing their efforts to mislead voters by falsely claiming that Colorado Education Association (CEA) President Kevin Vick is supportive of the ballot initiative. In a mass text sent to voters statewide, proponents […]
As readers who have been following the summerlong controversy over wildly exaggerated election-year rumors that the city of Aurora has been “conquered” by migrant gangs are aware, much of the story concerns several apartment buildings operated by one property management company CBZ Management, a company that has been out of compliance with city code on […]
After months of trying very hard to portray himself as “normal Republican candidate guy,” the real Gabe Evans is being revealed to the world just in time for voters to make their decision in CO-08. Today in The New York Times, reporter Annie Karni highlights the Republican candidates for Congress across the country who are election […]
Republican Gabe Evans has been letting his right-wing freak flag fly in recent weeks as Election Day gets closer and he is forced to elaborate further regarding his positions on a number of important topics. For example, his 111-word non-answer on the easiest political question imaginable: When is it okay to hit children in public schools? The […]
