A gun store in Montrose was one of the places where people could sign a recall petition for Gov. Jared Polis. Polis was one of five Democrats to survive a recall effort this year.
As voters have installed Democrats in the state s top offices, conservative activists have increasingly turned to recalls to reverse the blue tide.
Gov. Jared Polis has been the target of two recall efforts, although neither turned in enough signatures to force an election. Groups also circulated recall petitions against two state senators in 2019, and they threatened to try to recall two representatives, too. Those efforts also fell short of the needed signatures.
Since Colorado is largely reliant on ballot drop boxes, there are changes specifically for ballot drop boxes.
The bill would restrict future drop boxes from being located at police stations or sheriff s substations. I think that there s some concerns from some voters and various stakeholder groups, where they have a history of their communities not trusting their police, and I think that s where that concern comes from, said Matt Crane, Executive Director of the Colorado County Clerks Association.
Crane, a former Republican Arapahoe County Clerk & Recorder, pointed out that some of the most popular drop boxes are currently outside law enforcement. According to Denver Elections, Denver s most popular dropbox is the only one located at a police station, outside District Three at I-25 and University.
Jena Griswold just might be the most polarizing figure in Colorado politics today.
To her supporters, she’s a pioneer: the first Democratic woman to hold the Secretary of State’s Office and one of less than a dozen women to hold statewide office in Colorado. She’s fought to expand ballot access and battled voter suppression.
She’s stood up to figures of authority particularly former President Donald Trump via tweets and the cable news circuit to defend and showcase Colorado’s “gold standard” voting infrastructure.
She’s overseen three statewide elections, including an eagerly anticipated Super Tuesday showdown and the first modern presidential contest to be held in the middle of a global pandemic, all while boosting turnout to record levels.
