Libertarian Party Sues Colorado Sec. of State Jena Griswold Over BIOS Passwords Scandal

By Brian Lupo , Gateway Pundit This week, The Gateway Pundit reported that Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s website had published approximately 600 BIOS passwords for the election equipment in 63 out of 64 counties in Colorado. The illegal exposure of the passwords was first caught in August of this year but believed to have been published as early as June, before the state’s primary election.  And they weren’t removed until late October. Kyle Clark of 9News interviewed Griswold Wednesday evening and questioned her about the severity of the ‘leak’ and the implications of publishing those passwords. Of course, Griswold ducked and dodged the impact of her office’s actions, specifically, the consequences of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters c...

It’s time to hold Griswold accountable

By Heidi Ganahl, Commentary | Rocky Mountain Voice In a troubling development, Colorado’s Secretary of State recently confirmed that critical election system passwords were inadvertently published online, leaving sensitive data exposed for months. This exposure, according to conservative leaders, highlights severe security concerns and a failure of transparency from the Secretary’s office, prompting calls for accountability and an independent investigation. The released passwords, typically reserved for only a small circle of trusted state employees, were accessible to a much broader audience, including county clerks, certain county employees, and third-party vendors. These passwords, particularly for the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), provide access to fundamental system settings...

Davidson: Asking questions about election integrity doesn’t make someone an ‘election denier’

By John Daniel Davidson, Commentary | The Federalist A sensational report in The Wall Street Journal implies that questioning the integrity of our elections is tantamount to domestic terrorism. If Americans have questions and concerns about how our elections are administered and how ballots are tabulated, does that make them “election deniers,” conspiracy theorists, threats to democracy? The Wall Street Journal seems to think so. In a long news report published over the weekend headlined, “‘It Feels Very Dystopian.’ Republican County Officials Brace for Election Deniers—Again,” the Journal repeatedly characterized those who think the 2020 election was stolen, rigged, or less-than-secure as “election deniers,” and stopped just short of calling them domestic terrorists.&nb...

Federal court speeds appeal over challenges to state’s counting of ballots that arrive after election day

By Judicial Watch Judicial Watch announced today that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has ordered a hearing regarding a lower court ruling on Mississippi’s election law that permits absentee ballots to be received as late as five business days after Election Day. The Fifth Circuit will hear the case on Tuesday, September 24, at 3 p.m. CT, 2 p.m. ET. Judicial Watch filed the civil rights lawsuit challenging the Mississippi election law on behalf of the Libertarian Party of Mississippi (Libertarian Party of Mississippi v Wetzel et al. (No. 1:24-cv-00037)). The court consolidated the case filed by Judicial Watch with one filed by the Republican National Committee, the Mississippi Republican Party, and other complainants.

Peters convicted on seven counts in election integrity trial

By Brian Porter | Rocky Mountain Voice Viewed as a patriot by many on the right concerned with election security and integrity, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters was convicted Monday on numerous counts related to a breakdown of her county’s election computer system in 2020. Peters was convicted of three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty and failing to comply with the secretary of state. Central to the case, Peters faced accusations she had used another person's security badge and her position to provide access to an expert related to MyPillow's Mike Lindell to the election system. Lindell also had questioned the validity of election results nationally....

Cooper: The media doesn’t do their job, so you must to get real election answers

By BOB COOPER | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice Polling shows more than 55% of voters believe the voting system in the United States is problematic: a huge concern for a republic. What is fueling this? Elected officials who openly crush any form of transparency and block investigations, and a news media that does not question or investigate anything related to election claims.   Across the country, we see and hear a repeated theme of “gold standard” elections, yet elected officials controlling voting systems provide evidence to the contrary.  Did you know verifying election systems is not the role of law enforcement, but of citizens?  Elected officials and election officers should insist on transparency in all cases and commit to providing citizens with c...

American Confidence in Elections: Preventing Noncitizen Voting and Other Foreign Interference

By Hans von Spakovsky | Heritage Foundation We should provide both access and security in the election process. We want to ensure that every eligible citizen is able to vote and that those votes are not diluted, voided, or stolen due to unlawful registration and voting by aliens who have no right to participate in our political and election process and by the unfair and unjust inclusion of aliens in the apportionment of the House of Representatives, as well as the drawing of boundary lines for political districts at the federal, state and local level. Individual aliens and foreign entities and governments should also not be able to interfere in recall elections and ballot-issue referenda. That is essential in convincing the public that they can and should turn out to exercise the franch...

Cooper: Colorado May Have A Problem with 12,000+ Disappearing Undeliverable Ballots

By Bob Cooper | Guest Contributor The Colorado Open Record Act (CORA) allows citizens to examine public records of payments via invoices as well as a long list of election records for every election.  CORA enables state and county officials to provide transparency for citizens, so they have access to and confidence in our governance. It is a valuable resource especially considering the national concern over our election systems. The information for this article is based on CORA information from 11 Colorado counties. Undeliverable ballots are a vital election record in every election. States with mail in voting systems, like Colorado, mail out millions of ballots at the start of an election. The USPS delivers ballots to voters based on the mailing address in the voter registratio...
