Dear Colorado Republicans,
We all know Jena Griswold's history of being an incompetent partisan hack without any actual elections experience. We've seen the rules she's tried to slam down -- including her attempt to ban election judges and poll watchers from talking to each other. Many of you helped us push back against her rules, and we saw that one reversed.
Well, here we are again.
Jena's Griwold's Boulder buddy, Majority Leader Stephen Fenberg, is sponsoring SB22-153 (https://leg.colorado.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2022A/bills/2022a_153_01.pdf). Section 8(2) of this bill would allow the state of Colorado to decide whether or not what people say about elections is "true" or "false."
Has Sen. Fenberg really forgotten what the First Amendment is all about? Jena Griswold probably never knew to begin with.
Additionally, SB22-153 requires local election officials to take classes created by Jena Griswold's office and receive "certifications." What about Jena herself? Why are no certifications or classes required for the top elections official in Colorado?
How can Jena sit up in Boulder and demand that the competence of local officials be "certified" while she can lounge about in total incompetence and constant staff turnover?
Jena Griswold not only wants to be the Secretary of State; she wants to become judge and jury as well. The extreme portions of this bill are a transparent attempt to stoke fear and distrust in local elections and center all the power with Jena -- all without checks or balances.
ACTION NEEDED: If you agree that Jena Griswold is a partisan hack who needs to leave the First Amendment and local control alone, please email your opposition!
