Colorado Redistricting Measure Attracts $250K From National GOP PAC

By Jesse Paul | The Colorado Sun Dark money groups are financially backing Amendment 86, which aims to make it harder to redraw congressional districts outside of the normal census-driven process. A federal political action committee created by U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson is bankrolling a Colorado ballot measure this year that would make it more difficult to redraw the boundaries of the state’s congressional districts outside of the process already laid out in the state constitution.

Andrews: Every illegal immigrant counted helps the left keep power

By Russ Andrews | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Illegal immigrants are already stealing elections. Just not in the way you might think.

Most of us conservatives believe that promoting this foreign invasion of our border was designed to allow those 34 million illegals to eventually vote.
