Colorado GOP Chooses Software Engineer Craig Steiner to Lead Party Recovery

By: Colette Bordelon | Denver7 Craig Steiner replaced Brita Horn as the new chair of the Colorado Republican party after Horn resigned from her position before her term ended. EL PASO COUNTY — The Colorado Republican Party has found their next leader, after the last chair of the party resigned from the role early amid a "tremendous divide" in the party. The former chair, Brita Horn, left the position in April, saying "under the continued threat of further division, legal attacks, and escalation within our party, it has become clear that those intent on prolonging this conflict will not stop." Craig Steiner was selected as the new chair of the Colorado GOP. In that role, he told Denver7 he will work to elect more Republicans and try to unite the party, whi...

The election analyst Newt Gingrich trusts has a word for 2020, and it isn’t “stolen”

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice Stolen is the wrong word. Seth Keshel says so himself. And Keshel is a retired Army intelligence captain who has spent nearly six years tagged in headlines as an election denier and a conspiracy theorist. Ask him the obvious question—was the 2020 election stolen—and he says no. He says something else. "I don't believe the elections are stolen. I believe that they're rigged," Keshel said. "And that's what Newt Gingrich believes too." Keshel, a former Army captain of military intelligence and Afghanistan veteran, built a second career reading election returns the way he once read a battlefield. His book, The American War on Election Corruption, reached No. 1 in three Amazon categories this spring and carries a foreword by former House ...

Skid Row Residents Claim Cash Was Offered for Votes in LA Mayor Election

By: Angelina Delfin | The Daily Signal As questions continue to swirl around Los Angeles’ mayoral election, newly surfaced videos show homeless individuals on Skid Row claiming they were paid cash to vote for Mayor Karen Bass. The allegations emerged just days after Republican Spencer Pratt lost a runoff spot as thousands of late-counted mail-in ballots shifted the race. In an interview on Skid Row posted to X on June 9, one homeless woman claimed she was paid $2 to vote for Bass. “They come out here all the time [to get votes],” she said. https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/2064492962323874068 In a separate interview posted this week, another woman on Skid Row claimed she was paid $5 and instructed to vote for Bass.

ActBlue CEO Refuses To Answer Questions In Congressional Fraud Probe

By Mariane Perez | Breitbart ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment rights Wednesday during a congressional hearing on allegations the Democrat fundraising platform accepted foreign-linked donations. Wallace-Jones declined to answer a series of questions from Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) regarding alleged foreign donations, fraud controls, and the departure of ActBlue’s legal team. “On the advice of my counsel, I respectfully decline to answer this question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.” Jordan asked Wallace-Jones about reports that millions of contributions processed by ActBlue in 2024 showed signs of foreign origin. “Your board chairman said 38 million contributions in 2024 had the s...

Media Ignores Questions Surrounding California Vote Counting as Familiar Patterns Reappear

By: Chris Bray | Commentary, The Federalist Legacy media are insisting that there’s no evidence of fraud or cheating in California’s recent primary elections. It’s obviously not true. Legacy media don’t describe. They exist to prevent description, corralling and deflecting. In the famous description from Iowahawk, “Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.” Four states held primary elections on June 9, and on the morning of June 10, they were either ahead in their count or about as far along in their count of ballots as California, which held its primaries on June 2. These screenshots from live election results at the NBC News website are both from Wednesday morning at 9:30 PT: NBC NewsImage CreditScreenshot NBC ...

Colorado calls its elections a model. Mark Cook says voters have lost oversight of them

By RMV Staff | Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado's top election officials call the state's voting system a national model. Secretary of State Jena Griswold has described it as the "gold standard," pointing to first-in-the-nation risk-limiting audits, bipartisan checks and ballot tracking. Mark Cook argues that the people the system is supposed to answer to — voters, and the county clerks closest to them — have lost meaningful oversight of how it runs. Cook made that case during a recent appearance on Unleashed with Heidi Ganahl, where the conversation ranged from election transparency and county clerks to Tina Peters and Gov. Jared Polis. Cook's claim is not that one party rigged a result. It is structural: that administration has drifted upward over time, from county clerks to state...

Signature Gathering Intensifies As Colorado Ballot Battles Take Shape

By Sherrie Peif | Complete Colorado DENVER– A large-scale signature gathering effort is underway in Colorado as proponents rush to get numerous citizen-initiated ballot measures qualified for the November statewide election, with issues ranging from from a right to hunt and fish to capping the stat income tax rate. The conservative advocacy group Advance Colorado, for example, is hip-deep in the effort, with two measures already on the ballot and at least three others are in the signature gathering phase. Already on the ballot is “Penalties for Fentanyl Crimes,” a statutory change that reinstates certain penalties related to fentanyl that the Democrat-controlled legislature has weakened or removed over the years. A second measure, “Law Enforcement Reporting Requ...

Johnson Signals New Budget Package Could Advance SAVE America Act

By Cameron Arcand | Townhall The next reconciliation bill will have a focus on mismanagement of taxpayer dollars, Speaker Mike Johnson proclaimed on Wednesday. Johnson also previously said the House could potentially add on the SAVE America Act, which already passed the House but struggles to make it out of the Senate due to the 60-vote threshold, he told Fox News on Saturday. https://twitter.com/BasedMikeLee/status/2060757504217493706?s=20 “Republicans are really proud of our work to address fraud, waste, and abuse in government, as you know, and we continue to go forward that we're going to have a third reconciliation bill that comes up in the coming weeks, and you'll see further attention to it paid there,” the speaker said at a news conference on Wednesday...

Colorado became a national model for mail voting. Election Integrity Network says it should go back.

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice The ballot simply shows up weeks before Election Day. Some ballots are filled out the day they arrive. Others sit untouched until the weekend. Too many, most will argue, end up ignored. Eventually, a lot are mailed, taken to a drop box or walked into a polling center.  It’s the only system younger voters have ever known. The Election Integrity Network would prefer something closer to the system Colorado left behind. In May, they released a 116-page handbook outlining what it believes election laws should look like across the country. Before ballots filled the mailbox EIN founder Cleta Mitchell sees Colorado's pre-2013 election system as a blueprint rather than a relic. "Before 2013–14, Colorado used a precinct-based, i...

Peters Release Day Arrives With Key Details Still Unknown

By Nancy Lofholm | The Colorado Sun Gov. Jared Polis commuted the former Mesa County clerk’s sentence last month, making her eligible for parole and setting off a national firestorm over her role in attempting to interfere with an election. Tina Peters is scheduled to be released from a state prison in Pueblo Monday after Gov. Jared Polis controversially commuted the former Mesa County clerk’s sentence last month, cutting it in half.Peters, 70, has been imprisoned since 2024 for election fraud and official misconduct after she snuck an outside election denier into the off-limits Mesa County Elections Division office so he could copy the hard drive from the county’s voting system. Sentenced to nine years in October 2024, Polis cut her prison time in half on May 15 and made h...
