| 1/22/24 | Seth Klamann
The embattled leader of Colorado’s House Republicans was nearly ousted Monday by right-wing members of his own caucus, throwing his leadership into doubt and reigniting lingering ideological tensions among Republicans. The vote — an even 9-9 split to keep Rep. Mike Lynch as minority leader — came five days after the details
of Lynch’s 2022 arrest for drunken driving were first made public. The tie was the bare minimum that Lynch needed to maintain his position in leadership. Rep. Stephanie Luck, a member of the right-wing bloc that opposed Lynch staying on as leader, was not present because she recently...

U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, a nine-term congressman representing the Colorado Springs area, will not run for reelection in November — an announcement that means all three Republican-held seats in Colorado’s congressional delegation will have open races this year. Lamborn
revealed his plans Friday morning on Richard Randall’s radio show on southern Colorado’s KVOR-AM. “I’m not getting any younger,” the 69-year-old said. “I want to spend time with my children, grandchildren, with my wife. I want to look for opportunities to do good.” An attorney, Lamborn previously served in the Colorado House and Senate before first winning election to Congress in...

Colorado Ballot Ruling on Trump Will Only ‘Drive Up’ More GOP Support: Ex-Bush Advisor Karl Rove
|

New York Post ^
| Dec. 23, 2023 | Rich Calder
The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to boot Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot could create a fundraising goldmine for him and increase his standing with fellow Republicans, a top GOP advisor said. “It
serves to energize the Trump supporters and to give the former president a chance to raise more money from people who are suddenly going to be angry about what’s going on,” Karl Rove, the former senior advisor during George W. Bush’s administration, told Fox News’ “The Story” on Saturday. “This does not look fair, does not look appropriate. And the response is going to...

NOT JUST COLORADO: Here Are the 16 Other States Where President Trump’s Enemies are Trying to Kick Him Off the Ballot – Nine Active Cases Brought by Long-Shot GOP Presidential Candidate
|

| December 21, 2023 | Cullen Linebargar
President Trump was disqualified from the ballot in Colorado in 2024 thanks to their far-left Supreme Court. The Court dubiously cited Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office. The
state’s high court left room for an appeal. The ruling will go into effect on January 4, 2024. But one would be mistaken to believe this is the end of Trump’s ballot challenges, and you can partially thank a “Republican” Presidential candidate for this. According to a database maintained by...

The Colorado GOP won’t tolerate Donald Trump being taken off the ballot by the Democrat Supreme Court. What the Supreme Court does doesn’t matter. The
GOP has decided to withdraw and move to a caucus system if this is allowed to stand.Checkmate.

Folks, relax. We’ve seen enough, and we’ve seen this exact playbook before. The
delayed “official results” from Colorado, Arizona and Nevada are all part of the organized narrative engineering from SoS offices, party officials (local and state) and corporate media. It’s transparent now. There were key “target races”, not defined for political outcomes per se’ but rather …. they were identified for official media targeting; for script writing and narrative engineering; under the guise of being identified as “key races” to sense, gauge and create a storyline for election distribution by corporate media. In the big picture, the goal was...

DENVER (AP) — Backers of a campaign targeting a Colorado lawmaker who left the GOP and joined the Democratic Party, citing the Republican Party's embrace of discredited 2020 election conspiracies, received the go-ahead Friday to collect voter signatures in their bid to trigger a recall election. Colorado's
secretary of state's office said it had approved a recall petition targeting state Sen. Kevin Priola, whose term representing a suburban Denver district ends in 2025. Petitioners have until Nov. 8 to collect enough signatures to force an eventual recall vote. Priola infuriated Republicans when he announced his party switch in August, saying...
