I have seen some interesting local media articles, one from the Denver Post carrying a story that the GOP sees a real chance to win the Colorado AG seat this November (of course, they have a plan, and this helps), and another hit job article today is focusing on Jena Griswold's alleged lie about an outhouse as a symbol of her alleged bad character. Heads up. Griswold's race is about democracy, not about ouhouses.In Colorado, in November, the issue is whether the GOP can get their election-denying candidate into the AG seat so they can control the outcome in 2028. This kind of character assassination campaign against Griswold is just the warm-up for the GOP's main event. The three GOP candidates ...AG. SOS and gov...are all election deniers. Democracy is at stake, and Colorado is ground zero.
Griswold's opponents in the Democratic primary are serving the GOP's purposes, whether they intend it or not, by also relying on character assassination, with nary a word from them about experience, platform, or priorities related to election integrity in Colorado. This race has already had national attention because of Griswold's successful protection of the integrity of the ballot and its counting in the face of at least 3 elections denying Trump loyal county clerks playing illegal keepaway of ballots and/or calculators,from bipartisan hands as proscribed by law. Tina Peters, Trump's poster child for loyalty to him above sworn duty, is one of those clerks...FYI, Peters also committed crimes in her cover-up, and Griwold and the Colorado AG caught her at it and put her in jail. Her conviction was by jury trial and upheld on appeal, though Polis released her after she had served half her term.
. Jena Griswold's Democratic primary opponents for attorney general (AG) have no experience with what the job of AG mostly entails. .. Claiming Griswold is a bad administrator is political BS. Business records and elections ran smoothly during her terms as Secretary of State. That's the bottom line. She successfully ran a large state 300-person enforcement office, while at the same time fighting election deniers and the Trump attempt at a federal takeover of our elections. (.Griswold is a national leader in this effort as Secretary of State... SOS). So what if her trial experience is lacking?AG's are rarely the ones doing the trials. There is a whole section of trial attorneys among the 300 attorneys in a 700-attorney staff office, which an AG must also manage. Griwsold's primary opponents are inexperienced in managing a large enforcement office and unaware of what issues are really at stake.
