UPDATE: Congressman Ken Buck has responded to Todd Watkins’ call for Colorado Republicans to support the Jan. 6 prisoners. In a letter of his own dated Sept. 1, Buck points out multiple incorrect assertions and calls on Watkins to stop promoting misinformation he finds online.
Dan Caplis is a serious lawyer, or so he says. So serious, in fact, that he’s trademarked the phrase, “a serious firm for serious cases.” Jenna Ellis is not a serious lawyer, but she has been charged with serious crimes. She also admitted, in her formal censure by Colorado’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel, to spreading misinformation about the 2020 election no fewer than ten times, including on Dan Caplis’ KNUS radio show.
After appearing on a flyer promoting an upcoming “election integrity” event hosted by a far-right conspiracy group, the U.S. Air Force Academy says it has no formal relationship any of the involved parties. This Tuesday, Spunky Patriots, a Colorado Springs-based conspiracy group, is hosting Team Election Integrity Protocol at Fervent Church to promote the concept of distributed ledger voting via a live demonstration election using what they call their “election integrity protocol.”
The Libertarian Party of Colorado today released pledges it expects Republican candidates to sign in order to prevent a Libertarian candidate from entering their race. There are separate pledges for federal and state candidates.
According to longtime conservative activist Chuck Bonniwell, Colorado’s most prominent conservative dark money group, Advance Colorado, is funded by billionaire Phil Anschutz.
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert promoted antisemitic alt-right conspiracist Jack Posobiec in a taxpayer-funded email to reporters.
Colorado Republicans just can’t quit about election conspiracies. Tonight in Monte Vista, six county GOP groups that comprise the San Luis Valley Republicans will host a quartet of election conspiracists, all of whom have promoted the debunked theory that the 2020 election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden.
As many as five candidates are hoping to replace Priscilla Rahn, who resigned in late June, just three months into her second term to run for Douglas County Commissioner. Of the five potential candidates, four have publicly questioned the legitimacy of recent elections, from raising doubts about the potential for forged signatures to flat-out insisting that the 2020 election was rigged in favor of President Biden.
Two state representatives are suing Democratic and Republican leaders of the Colorado House for allegedly violating Colorado’s Open Meetings Law (COML). The lawsuit, filed by state Reps. Bob Marshall (D-Highlands Ranch) and Elizabeth Epps (D-Denver), claims that both the majority and minority caucuses routinely violate COML via unannounced in-person meetings and the regular use of the encrypted Signal app, which automatically deletes messages after a set period of time.
