DENVER (KDVR) – The Colorado Secretary of State has called upon the national media to hold back on releasing or projecting results on election night. She has since apologized and deleted her tweets.
In her first tweet, Jena Griswold said “Our democracy cannot be held hostage to a ratings race.”
She later tweeted, “That is why I am calling the national media networks to pledge to #Press Pause for democracy and 1: Make NO projections on election night 2. Announce NO election results on election night.”
After some immediate pushback from critics here in Colorado and across the country, Griswold deleted the thread and issued an apology.
Her statement read in part, “ Unlike Colorado, some states may not be able to process ballots until Election Day or after. A free press is a key pillar of our democracy, and I have full confidence the media will handle this professionally and accurately.”
Ballots will begin to go out to Colorado voters on Oct. 9. The election is Nov. 3.
Griswold’s full statement after deleting her tweets:
“I would like to apologize for a tweet I put out earlier tonight. It was confusing, and the point I was trying to make was made inartfully. My intention was to draw attention to the fact that other states across the nation are drastically adopting new voting procedures, and it is critically important that these changes be taken into account in election night reporting. Unlike Colorado, some states may not be able to process ballots until Election Day or after. A free press is a key pillar of our democracy, and I have full confidence the media will handle this professionally and accurately.”
No one will tell you Jena is married to a guy named Mohamed.
And she still hasn't fixed her teeth.
Griswold doesn’t realize this will blow up in her face.
There is no way you can hold results back. There are folks at most precincts from both parties dialing results in. People will watch who has the results.
Hey Jenna, Democracy dies in darkness.
She is a hard core partisan Democrat.
Another wholly-owned Soros flunky.
Actually, I really like this idea. No results counted, tabulated or announced until all the postal votes are collected. Then do it all in one night, maybe something like November 30th.
Prevents them from 'finding' just enough votes to win a state.
Then, the Democrat Media will collude with Party operatives to parrot the "we're still counting..." line from the 2000 Florida election - only it will be New And Improved for 2020.
Trump supporters are supposed to sit still while the "count" grows closer and closer...
There are two problems with this: 1.( We are not a Democracy. 2.( We do not have a free press. We have a Democrat propaganda machine.
The people of Colorado hate America. If they did not hate America they would not elect such as her to political Office.
Wouldn’t a Secretary of State position have dental insurance as a benefit?
I’ve asked that question a few times.
Suspended Sentence.
The Ministry of Propaganda has already decided not to call any states on election night without urging.
What happened to her canines?
Was she defanged?
Inbred
>>>Wouldn’t a Secretary of State position have dental insurance as a benefit?<<<
Most Dental Insurance Plans do not include Orthodontia.
That being said, I couldn’t give a Rats Ass about that Woman’s Teeth.
She should have Resigned for saying what she said, period.
