Amid the chaos, destruction, and distractions, the Colorado Communists have been busy, led by the youngest Secretary of State…the darling of the Cabal…the doe-eyed pinocchio to Soros’ Gepetto…the incomparable Jena Marie Griswold.

Secretary Griswold and her legislative lapdogs are ramming through a radical power grab of Colorado elections, and based on the pace they are currently moving, Ron Hanks (HD60, US Senate Candidate) is predicting whiplash:

“This can be rammed through by the end of next week, in my estimation. It went through Senate State and Veteran Affairs and was referred to Senate Appropriations. We could see it in the State House committees as early as Monday. Passing any meaningful amendments through the House is unlikely, so it could move quickly.”

Representative Ron Hanks (R), HD60 and US Senate Candidate

The bill abstract states that it, “increases election security measures for the secretary of state’s office, election officials, candidates for elected office, and voters.” That’s one way of looking at it.

Representative Hanks has another, “Every one of my colleagues needs to admit that this piece of legislation effectively nullifies local oversight of elections. County Officials are elected, just like the Secretary of State, but this law subjugates them to her. It removes local governance and control in one of the most important area of American government — our elections.”

he’s not wrong – this bill destroys self governance

In our current gold standard, Emperor, er, Secretary Griswold controls pretty much everything. The Communist, er, Democrat Party doesn’t allow for dissent in Colorado or, let’s face it, anywhere. They all do what they’re told.

While there are a few loopholes in our current election law that this legislation aims to close – a few areas where the People of Colorado still have some visibility and oversight in how their rulers are selected – the true aim of this radical bill is to make it a crime even to question the Empress of Golden Election Fraud.

Keep in mind that, according to the March 8, 2022 Rasmussen poll, 54% of likely voters believe it is likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Only 40% don’t think it’s likely, and that’s only because there has been zero coverage of the mountains of evidence that continue to accrue since election day.

Anyone who looks knows the election was stolen. The tide is turning – and Jena is wigging.

For heaven’s sake, the Wisconsin Speaker Vos just admitted Wednesday (March 16, 2022) that fraud in Wisconsin was widespread. I joined Joe Oltmann on Conservative Daily Wednesday to discuss the developments in Wisconsin, and we were joined by Peter Bernegger, Draza Smith, Dr. Doug Frank, and Jeff O’Donnell. It was both fun and illuminating, and you should check it out!

All over the country, elected officials like Speaker Vos have had to walk back their previous fraud denials. That doesn’t bother Secretary Griswold. She is committed to keeping her Empire of Fraud. Let’s take a look.

what are we looking at?

The preamble of this abomination to self governance reads:

“The bill increases election security measures for the secretary of state’s office, election officials, candidates for elected office, and voters. Current law authorizes the attorney general and the secretary of state (secretary) to enforce the provisions of the election code by injunctive action brought in the district court for the judicial district in which any violation occurs.” (emphasis added)

Colorado SB22-153

The key words and phrases to pay attention to here are, “enforce,” “by injunctive action,” and “any violation.” That’s the set up.

And in the amended version from committee, the “and” is changed to “or,” meaning Secretary Griswold can act alone on this. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Attorney General Phil Weiser and/or Secretary of State Jena Griswold are going to enforce, by injunctive action, certain punishments on anyone for any violation.

That seems like a totally legit thing they can do. 

Keep in mind: AG Weiser has had the Mesa County Forensic Report #1 since September 2021, showing evidence of criminal violations of State and Federal election law by Griswold, and Weiser has not so much as used a sentence with letters that could spell “investigation,” much less investigated.  That means Colorado election laws are meant for Griswold to subject you to, not for her to follow…..

Colorado House Bill 22-1279 “Reproductive Health Equity Act” (hereafter referred to as “HB-1279”) passed the third reading by a vote of 40-24 along party lines on Monday, March 14th, with no amendments and was introduced in the state Senate for the next phase of the legislative process.
This bill addresses a long-standing, core issue in American politics and is fomenting much controversy and attention from both sides of the aisle. Indeed, the bill only moved to its third reading in the House after a record-setting, twenty-three hour plus continuous debate late last week that included lawmakers catching some winks in their cars in the parking lot and a verbal altercation between two lawmakers at one point, according to Colorado Newsline, in addition to a rally of pro-life activists on the Capitol steps.
The bill’s sponsors and co-sponsors, all Democrats, assert this legislation is “necessary for the immediate preservation of the
public peace, health, or safety” and have admittedly chosen, for expediency’s sake, to pursue the legislative route as opposed to the Constitutional Amendment route that would require a ballot measure be put forth to a vote of Colorado citizens.
The bill’s sponsors and pro-abortion activists state they intend to still pursue a ballot measure for the 2024 election, but this legislation provides a necessary stopgap in the interim to head off the ramifications of potential outcomes of a U.S. Supreme Court decision on the famous Roe v. Wade opinion of 1973. That original SCOTUS opinion is widely viewed to have established a woman’s right to procure abortion services, and abortion activists in Colorado are concerned women’s rights and access to these services will be restricted should SCOTUS overturn the long-standing opinion on that case later this year.
Specifically, HB-1279 seeks to restrict Colorado “public entities” (which also includes private contract prisons) from any action that would “deny, restrict, interfere with, or discriminate against an individual’s fundamental right…to continue a pregnancy and give birth or to have an abortion…”. The bill would also codify into Colorado law the declaration that, “a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent or derivative rights under the laws of this state.”
Aside from the underlying subject matter which is always guaranteed to draw fierce controversy, the bill’s language does appear to have a large degree of non-specificity and ambiguity that critics argue would conceivably give legal cover to exploitation of vulnerable women or outcomes that many view as the taking of a human life. For example, the bill does not identify a time limit on how far into a pregnancy a woman can be and still make the decision to terminate; nor is there a minimum age defined for pregnant girls or women to have the legal capacity to make this decision without parental notification or consent. The bill’s language also begs the question and could invite endless legal debate over the precise moment a “fetus” becomes a “baby”, and whether a fetus that survives an abortion attempt is entitled to life-saving procedures and medical care.
Ambiguity in statutes like this also creates an environment ripe for what is colloquially referred to as “legislating from the bench”, whereby legal gray areas are not clarified by lawmakers, but instead are ultimately hashed out in court cases which then establishes judicial precedent on a topic that other jurists defer to when presiding over future cases.
It’s worth noting abortion is already and has been legal in Colorado for decades. There is even a process called “Judicial Bypass” under which minor girls can obtain a court order which allows them to terminate a pregnancy without parental notification or consent. Even if Roe v. Wade were overturned by SCOTUS, that would simply mean this issue is returned to the individual States. As discussed, Colorado has long recognized a woman’s right to procure abortion services – a position which is supported not only by most of the state’s elected officials, but also by an increasing number of Coloradans due to shifting demographics, so the likelihood of abortion being outlawed as a whole in Colorado is effectively zero at this point. What the bill’s sponsors appear to be trying to address with this legislation is the possibility of the imposition of local restrictions on abortion services within certain parts of the state in the event SCOTUS overturns its prior Roe v. Wade decision later this year. This also begs the question of why Colorado’s lawmakers encourage local decision making on other important issues such as immigration and self-defense, but not on this crucial topic.
HB-1279 now heads to the Judiciary Committee in the state Senate, where it is expected to pass and then land on the desk of Governor Jared Polis who has expressed support for the legislation. For more information and to read the most recent version of the bill, click HERE

In a letter to the Editor, Brad Announced his run for Coroner:

Hello Custer County.
I am pleased to announce that I am running for Custer County Coroner. I have lived in the valley since 1994 and have operated Baltzly Construction Services here for almost 28 years. I have an extensive background in death and crime scene investigation including training on the national level at the National Forensics Laboratory, Metro State College in Denver, and all of the courses offered by the Colorado Coroner’s Association. I was your chief deputy coroner here for five years.
Many people have asked me “why would you want to be coroner?” My answer is this, the death is an unfortunate and sad part of the job, but the investigation is very intriguing, and as the last advocate for the deceased, our job is incredibly important. In such a small community I’ve known many of the people I’ve picked up. Many were close friends. Friends that didn’t want to be handled by a stranger. I took great pride in being there for them and for my community when they needed me. You can follow me on Facebook baltzly for coroner or email me at baltzly4coroner@gmail.com.
I would greatly appreciate your support in the upcoming primary election. Thank you for your consideration. –—Brad Baltzly

Hello.

My name is Vernon Roth and I want to be the Coroner for Custer County. I have been serving as the Deputy Coroner over two years. Custer County has been my heart and home for 27 years, the place I chose to raise my children. Eight years ago, I became an EMT and served 4 of those years on the ambulance corp. I have also proudly been a part of our Sheriff’s Posse for the last 10 years. The past four years, and while serving as Deputy coroner, I have also been the Custer County’s Director of IT/GIS, working to keep data moving and our 911 maps updated.

Two years ago, I saw a need to serve Custer with my medical experience and volunteered to work as Arthur Nordyke’s Deputy Coroner, and it has been an adventure ever since. During my time, I have become a certified Medicolegal Death Investigator, which is required to be a deputy. I have built a strong foundation with the Colorado Coroners Association and built relationships with funeral homes throughout the state. I have assisted in autopsies, over 50 Death Investigations, and have become a seasoned coordinator with our sheriff’s office, State patrol, and other Coroner’s Offices.

I love to serve this community and as Coroner I seek to continue. I would appreciate your Vote in June and November.

Thank you,

Vernon Roth

It is with a heavy heart that after three challenging but successful years, I will be stepping down effective July 31, 2022. I feel this is a good time for this transition as Custer County Schools District is in a good position. The major reason I am choosing to step down at this time is to be with my family.
