The Age of Gaslighting Is Ending

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice You don’t get to do this again. You don’t get another George Floyd. You don’t get another COVID. You don’t get another “mostly peaceful” summer of chaos. You don’t get another shutdown. You don’t get another censorship campaign. You don’t get another government-media narrative that collapses the moment questions start getting answered. You don’t get another election season soaked in fear, confusion, and rule changes. You don’t get to burn trust to the ground and demand we clap for it. You don’t get to excuse violence when it benefits you, then act righteous when it doesn’t. We’ve watched fraud scandals, institutional coverups, and politically convenient “trut...

SAVE Act Gains Momentum as GOP Pushes Citizenship Verification to Vote

By Nicholas Ballasy | Just the News Republican Sens. Katie Britt of Alabama and Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania announced they are now cosponsoring the legislation, which was introduced by GOP Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Rick Scott of Florida, last year. Two Senate Republicans on Wednesday rallied behind the House-passed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote for federal elections. The new push comes amid pressure from conservative figures, including Elon Musk, and as the Trump administration pushes states to clean up their voter rolls to eliminate potentially illegal voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.  Republican Sens.&nb...

“You don’t get to ride both horses”: Appeals court presses both sides in Tina Peters case

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice “Reset the clock.” Defense attorney John Case used a football analogy as the Colorado Court of Appeals sorted out timing for oral arguments in Tina Peters’ appeal. It had nothing to do with the case itself—just how much time each side would have. But the aside drew a brief laugh before judges turned to a record years in the making. Defense attorney Peter Ticktin, who represents Peters and spoke with RMV after the hearing, said the depth of the judges’ questions tracked the briefs closely. “This is a big file,” Ticktin said. “This isn’t something you can read in an afternoon. They clearly did the work. They were chasing down each avenue and each argument that we had in our briefs.” Watch the full oral arguments below ...

Supreme Court Affirms Candidates’ Right To Challenge Election Rules

By: Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist ‘Candidates have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections,’ wrote Chief Justice John Roberts. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that federal candidates have standing to challenge rules governing their elections. In Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections, the high court affirmed that candidates running for public office “have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless [of] whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns.” “Their interest,” the court determined, “extends to the integrity of the election — and the democratic process ...

Griswold, county clerks urge Polis to reject clemency for Tina Peters ahead of appellate arguments

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice With Peters’ appeal heading into oral arguments, Griswold and the Colorado County Clerks Association put it in writing for Gov. Jared Polis: don’t step in. The Jan. 13 letter carries three signatures: Griswold’s, Jackson County Clerk & Recorder Hayle Johnson’s and Colorado County Clerks Association executive director Matt Crane’s. In it, the group asks Polis not to grant clemency, warning that doing so would have consequences beyond Peters’ case. “In 2021, then-Clerk Tina Peters coordinated the breach of her own election equipment in the nation’s first public elections insider threat,” the letter states, asserting that her conduct placed the security of Mesa County elections and public confidence in democracy at risk. The a...

Election Case Developments Raise New Questions for Hillsdale County Leaders

By: Staff |Commentary, Hillsdale Conservatives For more than a year, the case of People v. Scott has been framed as a test of whether a township clerk defied lawful authority. That framing no longer survives the courtroom record. What now exists, undeniably and permanently, is sworn testimony by state and county officials admitting that they acted without legal authority, followed by a judicial dismissal of the only charge that justified a raid, a search warrant, and years of public accusation. At this stage, the most serious question facing Hillsdale County is no longer about one township clerk. It is about why the officials who are legally obligated to act when credible evidence of unlawful conduct is revealed have chosen not to. The Record Is No ...

Polis Signals Possible Clemency Review for Tina Peters as Final Year Begins

By Shaun Boyd | CBS Colorado Gov. Jared Polis says he has an ambitious agenda for his final year in office. He's been full throttle since he was elected governor seven years ago, leading the state through COVID-19, two school shootings, and four of the most destructive wildfires in Colorado history. "It's hard to sprint. You sprint for 8 years, and that's always the way we've approached it. Our team -- we say we're running through the tape. We're running through the tape here," he said. As he nears the finish line, he is not only focused on the state budget and issues like affordable housing, but also which state prisoners should receive clemency. Among those who have asked the governor for a reduced sentence is former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peter...

2020 Georgia Election Questions Persist as Fulton County Admits Rule Violations

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News Five years after the 2020 presidential election, GOP-led Georgia is still facing repercussions from Fulton County’s issues, as the state is also under scrutiny by the Justice Department for voter roll maintenance. Georgia continues to face election integrity issues as more information regarding the 2020 election has come to light, while the state pushes back against federal oversight. Last month, Fulton County informed the State Elections Board that tabulator tapes were not properly signed after the 2020 election, in violation of state regulations, Atlanta News First reported. Also, the county explained that it had misplaced other tabulator tapes and documents from that election. "People are taking this very serio...
