Wildlife commissioners divided on Prop. 127, banning mountain lion, lynx and bobcat hunting

By Marissa Ventrelli | Colorado Politics A ballot measure that seeks to prohibit the hunting of mountain lions, bobcats, and lynx has created a divide among current and former members of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife commission, with animal rights activists arguing that hunting big cats is cruel and unnecessary, and sportsmen asserting that wildlife management should be left to the experts. A number of opinion pieces penned by current and former CPW commissioners have been circulating in newspapers around the state. This practice isn't illegal in itself, but the pieces must include a disclosure stating that the commissioners are expressing their personal views and not those of the state wildlife agency, as it is legally prohibited from taking an official stance on the mea...

Kamala Harris avoids questions about Biden’s mental decline: ‘Joe Biden is not on the ballot’

By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News Vice President Kamala Harris was confronted with questions about her knowledge of President Biden's mental decline during her interview Wednesday with Fox News' Bret Baier.  "You told many interviewers that Joe Biden was on his game, that ran around circles on his staff. When did you first notice that President Biden's mental faculties appeared diminished?" Baier asked.  After a brief pause to the question, Harris continued touting Biden's ability in office.

You can watch Douglas County ballot boxes on a 24/7 livestream

By Morgan Whitley | Fox 31 News As a mail ballot state, Colorado has been using drop boxes for the return of ballots for years, and one county is allowing residents to watch activity around the boxes whenever they please. According to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, state law requires drop boxes to be kept under 24-hour video surveillance, and Douglas County has decided to add another layer of transparency during the 2024 election. Douglas County has made the surveillance video available for public viewing in a 24/7 livestream. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX 31 NEWS

Harris campaign backtracks after discriminatory loans proposal

By Katie Pavlich  | TownHall With just three weeks to go until Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris issued a list of proposals in effort to regain support from black voters -- specifically men.  " 1) Providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business. (2) Championing education, training, and mentorship programs that help Black men get good-paying jobs in high-demand industries and lead their communities, including pathways to become teachers. (3) Supporting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets so Black men who invest in and own these assets are protected. READ THE FULL STORY AT TOWNHALL

Morgan: Trump’s so right to say he’d ban trans athletes in women’s sports

By Piers Morgan, Commentary | New York Post Sometimes, Donald Trump hits the common-sense nail smack-bang on the head. After years of cowardly public officials pathetically tiptoeing around the increasingly farcical, and grotesquely unfair, issue of biologically male trans athletes competing in women’s sports, the former and quite possibly next president of the US spat out a potentially very consequential truth bomb. “You just ban it,” he said during a Fox News town hall on Wednesday, to huge cheers from the audience. “The president bans it. You just don’t let it happen.” READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE NEW YORK POST Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in commentary pieces are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the management ...

Election win odds sour further on Harris after Fox interview

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner Vice President Kamala Harris did not win over election gamblers, who drove her chances of victory down further. Among two of the largest election gambling aggregate sites, former President Donald Trump now holds his biggest advantage in weeks. Mark Mitchell, the head pollster at Rasmussen Reports, made a comment on X that echoed many suggesting that Harris did little to expand her base. “Did Harris realize she was supposed to be picking up new voters? Because that’s not what she did,” he wrote. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Millions being spent on state legislative races in final weeks before Election Day

By Marianne Goodland | Colorado Politics Outside groups hoping to influence voters about candidates running for seats in the state House and Senate are draining their bank accounts in the final weeks before the Nov. 5 election. That's about $3.5 million between Sept. 28 and Oct. 8, the most recent reporting period. Total spending is now well above $5.3 million, showing that most of those dollars are going to the state's hottest races. The expenditures range from as little as $1.09 for a Google ad to six-figure checks written to support Republican Western Slope candidates running for the state Senate.

If you live in Denver, Larimer counties, you can expect marathon ballots to vote

By Sherrie Peif | Complete Colorado Depending on where you live in Colorado, the 2024 election ballot may seem like you just sat down to start a new novel, with a storyline that hikes taxes and debt,  makes changes to city and county charters, bans “trophy” hunting of mountain lions when it’s already illegal, and allows government employees to collectively bargain, among myriad other things. Indeed, if 14 statewide ballot measures and a near like amount of judicial retention questions aren’t enough, many cities, towns, counties, school districts and other special taxing districts have piled on their own measures, making some ballots — such as Denver’s — as much as six pages long. Complete Colorado looked at a few of the local ballots around the state, incl...
