Colorado’s dirty voter roll: Getting on is the easy part

By Mike O’Donnell | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice I’ve spent the last few months digging deeply into the Colorado voter roll from all sorts of different angles and although politicians of a certain party and their supporters are quick to parrot that Colorado exemplifies the “gold standard” of election integrity, that very definitely does NOT appear to be the case after a close examination of Colorado’s voter roll, the rightful starting point for any such assessment of the quality of election integrity in this or any other state. A closing line from the Eagles' 1976 hit song ‘Hotel California’ seems to be the most appropriate way to summarize the apparent philosophy behind the approach taken by Colorado’s legislature and the current Secretary of State when it comes to the...

Supreme Court Upholds Counting of Mail Ballots Received After Election Day

By: The Washington Stand | The Western Journal A closely-divided U.S. Supreme Court has handed down a critical decision on election integrity, jeopardizing the security of American elections and the sovereignty of the nation. In an opinion released Monday morning in Watson v. Republican National Committee (RNC), the court’s narrow majority ruled that mail-in ballots postmarked by election day may still be counted even if received after election day. “Three federal statutes set the day for the election of Representatives, Senators, and the President,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority. At issue is a Mississippi state law allowing ballots received by mail and postmarked by election day to be counted for up to five days after election day. The RNC argued...

Trump Says Supreme Court Decision Makes SAVE America Act More Urgent

By: Pedro Rodriguez | The Daily Signal President Donald Trump has called for the SAVE America Act to be passed after the Supreme Court upheld Mississippi’s policy to count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day. Conservative Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three Democrat appointees on the court in drafting the majority opinion. The case of Watson v. Republican National Committee involved Mississippi’s policy of counting ballots that arrive up to five days after Election Day. At least 17 states and territories, along with the District of Columbia, count ballots that arrive late, with at least two allowing them to arrive up to two weeks after Election Day. The case is named for Mississippi Secreta...

RNC Lawsuit Claims Griswold Violated Colorado Constitution on Overseas Voting

By: M.D. Kittle | The Federalist Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s UOCAVA guidance permitting ‘never residents’ of Colorado is in conflict with residency law. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, who served as head cheerleader in the left’s failed attempt to keep Donald Trump off her state’s 2024 Republican primary ballot, now faces a lawsuit alleging she broke the state constitution in permitting non-residents who have never lived in Colorado to vote in its elections.  Griswold, the leftist tool of the far-left machine that defiled the U.S. Constitution, is now accused of ignoring the Centennial State’s charter.  “Yet again, Democrats are trying to let people vote in a state where they’ve never lived,” Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gr...

They almost stayed home: What a Douglas County couple took away from RMV’s Freedom Fest

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice By Saturday morning, Russ and Deb Minary were home, a refrigerator due to be delivered and an ordinary weekend resuming around them. They couldn't stop replaying the day before. They almost hadn't gone. Their Friday had cleared at the last minute, and they drove over for day one of Rocky Mountain Voice's two-day Freedom Festival, marking America's 250th birthday and Colorado's 150th. "It's frightening when you see how easily our elections are being changed and manipulated," Deb said. "But it's also encouraging to know there are people trying so hard to fight for our freedom." The day had split in two for them—what frightened them, and what gave them hope. https://twitter.com/TheRMVoice/status/2070592878896717919 They...

RNC Sues Griswold Over Overseas Voters With No Colorado Residency History

By: Mike Krause | Complete Colorado DENVER–The Republican National Committee on Friday filed suit in Denver District state court against Secretary of State Jena Griswold, challenging her office’s policy of allowing overseas voters who have never set foot in Colorado to cast ballots in state elections. Filed just four days before Colorado’s primary election, the suit argues Griswold’s implementation of the state’s overseas voter law runs headlong into the Colorado Constitution’s residency requirement. Griswold is also a candidate for Colorado attorney general in the June 30 Democrat primary. “Residency is not inherited and cannot be established by proxy,” the complaint reads. “An individual who has never personally made Colorado his or her home has not ...

House Republicans Push SAVE America Act for Fourth Time Despite Senate Resistance

By: Scott McClallen | Townhall The U.S. House will pass the Save America Act for a fourth time, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-4) told Fox News on Sunday.  https://twitter.com/Edgar_A_Barrios/status/2071241675582652489 The bill package aims to ensure that only citizens vote in federal elections by showing proof of citizenship when registering to vote and by showing a valid ID before voting.  Johnson told Fox News that Republicans will try to place the package in a reconciliation bill to avoid the required 60 votes in the Senate.  "I told the President, I don't have any tattoos, but if I did, it'd say 'SAVE AMERICA' on my shoulder. Okay, we passed it three times in the House alre...

The SAVE Act is about citizenship not suppression

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.” – Mark Twain Today, many Americans across the political spectrum are uninformed and/or unfamiliar with the US Constitution and US legal code. Yet they want elections and election results to be fair and accurate. Confusion, division and conflict are common, often guided more by opinion or emotions, but not the truth or facts. Social or mainstream media will never be a substitute for primary research from reliable sources. In this article, you’ll get some facts and reliable info on WHY the SAVE Act, free and fair elections, and the Electoral College are absolutely necessary to protect our most basic freedoms as Ame...

Federal Judge Permanently Blocks Key Parts of Trump’s Election Order

By Alliyah Sims | KDVR DENVER (KDVR) — A federal judge has permanently blocked key parts of President Donald Trump’s executive order on elections, ruling after a legal fight that began last year over voter registration rules and proof-of-citizenship requirements. The decision strikes down provisions tied to how states verify voter eligibility and says those responsibilities belong to states and Congress, not the president. The ruling also turns a temporary block into a permanent one; however, an appeal is expected. Rob Preuhs, Professor and Chair of Political Science at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said the concern at the center of the case is how election systems could impact eligible voters. “That means that we’re all potentially at the risk o...

Trump Calls on Republicans to Stand Together in SAVE America Act Battle

By Cameron Arcand | Townhall President Donald Trump wants to get the House back in motion, as some Republicans wanted to pause action in the lower chamber in protest of the SAVE America Act not getting passed in the Senate. While the act is considered an extremely high legislative priority of the president, he expressed the need for a cohesive Republican Party following a meeting with Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday afternoon. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and other lawmakers had intended not to vote on any rules to keep the House from voting on any legislation.  “House Republicans should unify, and stop voting down ‘Rules’ or, threatening to do so,” he posted to Truth Social.  “Giving power to the Radical Left Dumocrats in the House to contro...
