Graham: A vote for Trump is a vote to restore freedom and opportunity in America

By Ellen M. Graham | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice I’m a single suburban soccer mom and I’m voting for Donald J. Trump. Well, my children play baseball and golf, but you get it. Raised staunchly conservative in Northern Colorado, I was liberal for more years than I’d like to admit, but it’s 2024 and I have a full-time job, two teenagers, including one in private school thanks to more failed public schools.  I own a middle-class home in a safe neighborhood.  Launching my sons into opportunity is my American Dream. We can no longer run away from what our country has become.  Just look at the streets of downtown Denver with the needles, feces and encampments.  Oh well, big city problems, they say.  Go to Aurora, long a bastion for legal immigrants an...

Allen & Melanie Fuller: Preserve Colorado charter schools with ‘yes’ vote on Amendment 80

By Allen Fuller and Melanie Fuller | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As a husband and wife who both serve on the boards of different charter schools, and as parents of three students currently in K-12 schools in Colorado, we fully support not only Amendment 80, but also the incredible opportunity and personalization school choice creates. Colorado charter schools, which have been a multi-decade success story for children and families, are under constant attack. Amendment 80, on this year’s ballot, is the best long term insurance policy for protecting Colorado’s rich history of innovation in education. Amendment 80 is an essential addition to our state constitution. We strongly support it because we have seen firsthand how children thrive when families can choose public scho...

Trump Campaign calls for action over Secretary Griswold security breach in Colorado

By Rocky Mountain Voice Staff In a letter addressed to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, representatives for Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. have raised alarms over a reported disclosure of BIOS passwords for voting system equipment across the state. According to the letter, these passwords have been publicly accessible from at least August 2024 through October 24, 2024, without public notification from Griswold’s office regarding the security risk. The letter suggests that the passwords’ exposure presents an opportunity for unauthorized access to modify the Trusted Build of voting systems—a concern intensified by the upcoming election. The Trump campaign’s letter, issued through the Gessler Blue law firm, details the potential implications of the breach, emphasizin...

Social media erupts as Biden bites multiple babies dressed in costumes

By Julianna Frieman | The Daily Caller President Joe Biden skipped the candy and went straight for the baby Wednesday night when he appeared to bite multiple infants dressed up for the annual Halloween celebration at the White House. Viral video shows the president appear to chomp on a child wearing a chicken costume at the Biden family’s last trick-or-treat event at the White House. Theme music from the movie “Jaws” was heard playing as the baby, held by a woman wearing a long red dress, squirmed after Biden bowed his head and made contact. “President Trump is mingling with garbage men at his rally in Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is literally BITING BABIES at the White House Halloween Party,” X user @nicksorter wrote in response to the video. “WTF IS THIS TIMELINE?” ...

Biden-Harris admin declares ‘it’s time’ to ‘ban assault weapons’ after Kamala tries to say she’s pro-2A

By Thomas Stevenson| The Post Millennial Despite Vice President Kamala Harris sending the message throughout her 2024 campaign that she is pro-Second Amendment, the Biden-Harris administration has declared that now is the time to "ban" so-called "assault weapons." The Biden-Harris White House account posted on social media on Wednesday, "It's time" with a graphic saying "ban assault weapons."   Harris, however, has tried to paint herself as a supporter of gun rights since she has hit the campaign trail. In her 60 minutes interview: “I have a Glock and I’ve had it for quite some time,” Harris said. “My background is in law enforcement, so there you go.” She was then asked if she fired it ever, to which Harris laughed, claiming, “Yes, of course I have, at a shooting ...

Republican Hartsook and Democrat Nilemo talk housing, crime, presidential preference in HD44

By Iris Pixler | Colorado Politics In House District 44 for the Colorado General Assembly, Republican Anthony Hartsook looks to continue his work by being elected to a second term, while Democratic opponent Alyssa Nilemo aims to win the newly redrawn district this November. No matter who wins, both candidates face a shifting political landscape in Douglas County and continued rapid growth. At first glance, you might think they have little in common. Still, Hartsook and Nilemo are fighting to represent the new district encompassing Parker, Stonegate, Sierra Ridge, Meridian Village, and Stepping Stone in Douglas County.

Harris campaign recruits foreign volunteers, tells noncitizens how to skirt donation rules

By Reddit Lies | The Federalist Part three of an investigation into how the Harris-Walz campaign is manipulating social media sites to artificially boost their popularity, spread election disinformation, and skirt election laws. In the previous installments of this investigation into how the Harris-Walz presidential campaign is dishonestly manipulating online platforms, I noted the existence of a Discord server where campaign employees coordinate with a volunteer army to flood social media sites with campaign propaganda. The volunteers also vote en masse on social media to artificially boost Harris-Walz content or downvote content that is harmful to their campaign. Not only is this deceptive and misleading to voters, it’s a clear violation of these websites’ Terms...

Caldara: Colorado’s political future under Proposition 131

By Jon Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado Out of the 14 statewide ballot questions, which by the way ties the record, it’s Proposition 131 that would bring the most political change and disruption with its jungle primaries and ranked-choice voting general elections. Assuming voter fatigue doesn’t keep voters from reaching this down-ballot issue, it’s the last of the statewide questions, it should pass. This is a prediction not an endorsement. It will pass because of its more than $15 million in funding, and because there is no effective or funded campaign against it, and generally voters are frustrated with both major parties.

Ballot measure 2C in Wheat Ridge would lower building height limits at old Colorado hospital

By Karen Morfitt | CBS Colorado The old 100 acre campus of a hospital in the Colorado city of Wheat Ridge is empty and on the verge of development. But before that happens, voters are deciding in the general election next week whether or not to change the city's height requirements for that area. Ballot measure 2C asks Wheat Ridge voters to consider making changes to the city's current height requirements at the old Lutheran Hospital campus. "It actually asks two specific things," Community Development Director Lauren Mikulak said. "We're asking to lower the height further on the perimeter, so from 35 feet to 30 where we have new development potentially adjacent to existing neighborhoods. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

Gilpin County election watcher dismissed while observing signature verification

By Rachel Saurer | Fox 31 News The Gilpin County Clerk dismissed an election watcher on Tuesday who was watching the signature verification process after a disagreement on how close the watcher could be to the poll worker’s station. An election watcher is a fairly new addition to the ballot counting process, born from former President Donald Trump’s proven-to-be-false claims of election fraud in 2020. According to the Secretary of State’s office, an election watcher is “an eligible voter who has been appointed by an authorized appointing entity to witness and verify the conduct of an election.” Election watchers also must complete a 10-minute training course. They are essentially another layer of security and transparency in the ballot-counting process. READ THE FULL STORY AT F...
