Yes, our elections can never be honest again so long as the votes can be flipped in the dark of the code. Mules stuffing ballot boxes are just the tip of the iceberg. Cue the Titanic.

CO is lost. CA is lost. WA is lost. OR is lost. NY is lost. NJ is lost.

Time for a national divorce. These places have simply gone to Satan.

Something rotten in Colorado election results. Bought and paid for? Emerald, you saved the punchline for last: “One more thing: Colorado uses Dominion Voting Machines.” Once and for all, get rid of all voting machines. Colorado: this is for your edification!

Keep digging Emerald. You are over the target.

Tina Peters (and a whole boatload of donors) should DEMAND a recount and forensic audit. I saw Joe Oltmann's webinar on these and the graphs of votes looked damn suspicious! https://conservative-daily.com/co-livestream/jeff-odonnell-unmasks-the-election-stolen-before-our-eyes

Wait until the next manufactured variant strikes right around October so they can impart high level fraud on us once again in the November vote. Gonna happen folks!

"Does these tweets appear to show the kind of sudden political momentum that turns Pam Anderson from being twenty points behind Tina Peters to beating Tina Peters by 15 points?"

This does not happen, legitimately. Unfortunately, we shouldn't expect any authorities state or Federal to have any interest into looking closely at the election results. It should be obvious to all by now that we have entered a two-tier judicial system with one set of rules favoring them and another set of much harsher rules for anyone who doesn't play in their system.

Conservatives have a long and growing list of grievances no less significant that those of the founding fathers.

Jaysus this is significant reporting! I am hopping mad! As a Colorado property owner I DEMAND a full and impartial investigation into the voting processes in Colorado to include the integrity of the Dominion Voting Machines. Enough is Enough!!!

I'm a Colorado resident. I did not pay much attention to the primary races but I am looking into it with a friend who is well connected to state and local politics so I will report back. Meanwhile I am adding my thoughts on the elections here and the Tina Peters situation.

Colorado was leaning purple until we went all mail-in ballots. Then we went deep blue. All branches of government are now tightly controlled by the deep-state DEM machine and it's very liberal. Many R's seem to think that the hinterlands surrounding Denver are more red. That's not been my experience - areas surrounding Denver are purple. The R's in these areas keep a very low profile so this makes the state seem more blue than it is.

The R party here is woefully naive and there's a lot of in-fighting between conservatives and moderates while the D's are playing smash-mouth politics with them. The local media has successfully painted election integrity efforts by conservative grass-roots as crazy. As a result the moderates have become very alienated from the conservatives. They really do not want to hear about election integrity, voting transparency, etc. So I can see them voting for a Pam Anderson over Tina Peters.

On Tina Peters, the media and the moderate R's have slammed a lid on her claims with all of the reporting being very superficial and shallow. Meanwhile her side is keeping a pretty tight lid on their case so it's impossible to judge her claims. I think her lawyers are hoping that when the case is finally litigated their position/evidence will come to light. I'm not sure that can happen as the court of public opinion and the vast resources of the left look insurmountable - but kudos to her for fighting. It would be helpful if some other clerks supported her but they've been scared into silence by the SOS.

On the Dominion Machines and election integrity - I don't think it's the machines/program that's compromising the elections. My suspicion is that there's a staff issue. A particularly volatile Dominion employee had unprecedented access to the voter rolls in the state as well as real-time access to the returns as they came in. This is problematic because the SOS, the SOS staff, the clerks across the state do not have the programming expertise that these private consultants do - so it is impossible for them to oversee the tech consultant's work.

I've seen first hand computer techs use their skills to steal, spy, and obsfucate bad acting on the systems that they are supporting. Most staff in these offices have no programming expertise and are intimidated by the technology that they're using; so they rely heavily on the techs. And most importantly, these techs work with no oversight. It's clear SOS puts a lot of trust in their Dominion liaison. After reading the liaison's deposition, the SOS office's trust was ill-advised.

Not all but some of these techs have very little respect for the staff they work with and their expertise in technology provides them with an opportunity to advance personal grudges. I think this might be what happened in Mesa County. Seems likely that there's a long-standing animosity between Dominion, the SOS office, and Mesa County clerks related to clerks struggling with the software and equipment and never-ending/changing bureaucratic reporting requirements from the SOS.

In my estimation, if we must continue to use machines/computers for ballot counting (because states of invested too much in them to give them up) then the battle we need to be waging is to make the programming/software transparent. This is not dissimilar to the Twitter situation with Musk demanding transparency of the Twitter algorithm.

Everyone who has used a computer, scanner, printer, copier, etc. understands the frustration involved when these machines "fail" and the uncomfortable "dependence" one experiences seeking their "repair". If the voter integrity machine folks would focus on this and emphasize the need for transparency and oversight with regard to the programming, I think they'd find an empathetic public and justice system. I'd like to propose a "belt and suspender" approach to these machines - ie double oversight. We really need adversarial transparency over these systems.

CO does have many issues. The current SOS is corrupt as ever; and Tina Peters has been in her crosshairs since the last general election. She had the evidence of the shady dealings and well, we know what happened there. There is a lot of Soros money and other dark money feeding the Dems. As a native this offends me greatly! They’re ruining our state!!!

Won't someone in Colorado - Republican or Democrat - do something about these Dominion machines? What does it take for all you Colorado voters to realize you're not getting your vote counted? A Dominion machine is altering the true vote. There is plenty of proof. WAKE UP, Colorado!!!!

Removing the Dominion Voting Machines will not be effective unless the THE MACHINE itself is unplugged and the power cord is destroyed.
