Wayne should have realized that the GQP/trump cult doesn't allow for any independent thought and that he must toe the fascist party line 24x7x365.
I hope that after her second successful term as SoS Jena Griswold runs for governor.
lol
Hopefully there's a mechanism in place for monetarily sanctioning complainants and/or their lawyers for filing frivolous, groundless and/or vexatious campaign finance complaints.
Sorry to hear this about Pam Anderson. I had hoped she would keep her head above such base partisanship.
Just another reason why I wish the Secretary of State's office was a non partisan position. (I feel the same way about County Clerk)
If Anderson had any common sense (she’s demonstrated that she doesn’t) she’d have insisted on being in on the ad. Complaining about it now just looks like sour grapes. I think it’s likely to come back and bite her in the butt.
Bullshit. They have a fair point for complaint. This gives Jena some free positive P.R.
She should have asked Pam if she wanted to also be in the ad.
huh? "The ads, which first ran online in June ahead of Colorado’s primary election, feature Griswold and the Republican she unseated four years ago,"
If Secretary of State Griswold had invited Pam Anderson to be in the PSA, there would have been complaints about "Democrats are interfering in the primary." If she invited all 3 Republican candidates to be in the PSA, maybe … but then it would have needed an entirely different script, with a "neutral" voice reading and the 4 candidates nodding along.
Sorry … this is another instance showing that elections have consequences. All of the elected officials can send non-electioneering announcements in advance, and I can't think of the last time I saw criticism of any of the Colorado Congressional delegation getting panned announcing something that is a part of their job.
It might be interesting to propose a new ad with ALL of the candidates for Secretary of State. The requests would need to go to the candidates of [in ballot order] the Republican Party, Democratic Party, Unity Party, Approval Voting Party, American Constitution Party, and Libertarian Party.
[anybody know what happened to the Green Party? I don't see a candidate of theirs for any of the offices on the Sec. of State's 2022 General Election Candidate Ballot Order.]
Fair point on the pre-primary ads. But now post-primary I think Pam Anderson should be invited to participate. And it would be interesting to do one with all the candidates… maybe.
No, David. Jena and Wayne have been there, done that. Pam has only handled a county vote, albeit a large one. The PSA was legit.
[anybody know what happened to the Green Party? I don’t see a candidate of theirs for any of the offices on the Sec. of State’s 2022 General Election Candidate Ballot Order.]
According to their website, apparently there was a thus-far successful attempt to take over (in their words: hijack) the Green Party by Andrea Merida (controversial former Denver School Board member). A complaint has been filed with the National Party and they seem to be sitting out this election while they sort it all out.
Here is a link to the list of complaints filed with the federal Green Party: https://restoregreenvalues.org/outline-of-violations Go around the rest of the website and you get a more complete picture of the situation.
Here's the thing: we do NOT need reassurances-we need a direct address to the vulnerabilities of Colorado's computerized tabulation. “Today, the main thing is still the same — tell what are the real vulnerabilities — but fight against conspiracy theories, misinformation, claims of hacks that didn’t happen, claims of weirdness that didn’t happen,” said Harri Hursti, the co-founder of the Voting Village and a pioneer election security researcher. The annual hacker's conference just ended-and election security is NOT progressing in working with hackers like other areas of security are. https://www.cyberscoop.com/defcon-voting-village-harri-hursti-election-fraud/
Colorado’s election system is the most secure and accessible in the country- which is why the right wing hates it so.
There are multiple levels if nonpartisan audits as norms, and if a hacker somehow gained access to the tabulation machines in county clerk offices,there are always the hardcopy paper ballots to be recounted. So, no, we’re vulnerable only to bad actors like Tina Peters and other rogue election clerks that create fraud in order to prove fraud exists.
The cult cannot tolerate Wayne behaving like a rational adult. He must be punished.
Kind of like Joe Manchin.
Actually we're (mostly) all praising Joe Manchin now.
I was going to say "why doesn't Pam just run a TV ad herself," then went to TRACER and found her funds on hand as of the Aug. 1 report were $14,899, and her contributions would be less than expenditures save for a $40K loan.
Does anyone know if she's got something else going on financially, or is she going to try to win statewide office with city council race fundraising?
Who paid for the Griswold/Williams spot? That answers the question of whether it's a Griswold campaign ad or not.
It was paid for out of Sec. of State funds, ergo tax dollars.
The Sentinel [Aurora version] has a "tut tut" editorial SOS Griswold broke the public trust but not the law in botched TV ad opportunity
it says "ads are funded by the federal Help America Vote Act, using tax dollars, and are expected to cost $1,099,999, according to the Griswold state office officials."
