‘The most conservative generation of young men in 50 years’: Charlie Kirk, TP Action see huge turnout on American campuses

By Thomas Stevenson | The Post Millennial Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has been touring college campuses across the nation, registering voters and engendering support for GOP nominee Donald Trump. Stops have included Penn State, the University of Georgia, and many others. Young voters, and young men especially, have turned out at the events in large numbers to support the former president.   Common knowledge would tell you that a college campus would be the last place to see lots of support for the GOP, however, the tide may be shifting, in part due to Kirk's tour across the nation with Turning Point Action's "You're Being Brainwashed" tour, which has had lots of turnout at campuses.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE POST MILL...

Colorado’s 2024 ballot is very crowded. Will voters fill out every bubble?

By Tracy Ross | The Colorado Sun Presidential races typically drive turnout. But Colorado voters have plenty of other reasons to fill out their ballots this year, including statewide measures that would affect everything from abortion rights to mountain lion hunting to the way we vote, potentially defying conventional thinking about voter behavior.  Take Seth Stern, a federally registered firearms dealer and unaffiliated voter from Granby who for 25 years has refused to vote for Republicans or Democrats in a U.S. presidential election and likely will choose a third-party option this year.  It’s the local issues, not who will occupy the White House for the next four years, that keep him showing up.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SUN

Washington Post declines to endorse in presidential race, leaving staffers ‘shocked’

By Ryan Mills | National Review For the first time in 36 years the Washington Post will not be endorsing a candidate for president, the paper’s publisher announced on Friday in a move that shocked and angered some current and former staffers who have been critical of former president Donald Trump. Publisher William Lewis announced the decision in an opinion piece on the organization’s website. Lewis said the Post is “returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates” this year and in all future presidential elections, repeatedly noting that the Post is an “independent newspaper.” In his piece, Lewis quoted the paper’s editorial board in 1960, when it similarly explained that the paper wouldn’t be endorsing a presidential candid...

McConnell and Johnson tell Harris to stop ‘fascist’ talk amid threats to Trump’s life

By Tracy Ross | Washington Examiner Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) accused Vice President Kamala Harris of paving the way for more political violence with her campaign rhetoric on Friday. The Republican leaders said in a joint statement that the Democrat’s branding of former President Donald Trump as a “fascist” has invited more assassination attempts and run counter to her prior condemnation of such violence. “These words have proven hollow. In the weeks since that second sobering reminder, the Democratic nominee for president of the United States has only fanned the flames beneath a boiling cauldron of political animus,” McConnell and Johnson said. “Her most recent and most reckless invo...

Here’s how to use BallotTrax to safeguard your vote in Colorado

Panel at Colorado Mesa debates merits, concerns with Prop. 131, the ranked-choice voting measure

By Jen Schumann | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice Imagine if your vote could genuinely reflect your voice. Some argue Proposition 131, the ranked-choice voting measure, can do just that. During a Grand Junction event hosted by Restore the Balance and Colorado Mesa University, both proponents and opponents of the measure debated the proposition. Panelists tackled tough questions about ranked-choice voting's potential to enhance democracy, versus the risk of confusion at the polls. Following is some of the key discussion between the panel, from Phil Izon, a prominent figure in Alaska’s efforts to repeal ranked-choice voting, to Kent Thiry, who heads up the support side of the Colorado proposition.
