#Colorado #Republicans want to pause their federal #lawsuit against the state's #SecretaryOfState until they figure out who's in charge of the party, court records show.
The #ColoradoRepublicanParty on Thursday filed a motion to modify scheduling in their suit against #JenaGriswold in which they ask for a four-month delay to deal with an internal political battle.
In case people want to read more, the Colorado Sun is on Mastodon.
"I do believe that states should be able under our Constitution to bar oath-breaking insurrectionists. And, ultimately, this decision leaves open the door for Congress to act to pass authorizing legislation. But we know that Congress is a barely non-functioning body, so ultimately, it will be up to the American voters to save our democracy in November."
-- Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) on #SCOTUS decision
I followed up on death threats to Colorado Secretary of State #JenaGriswold after reading @foser article on how the media is disconnected from threats to judges & election officials.
Still no arrests on her #Swatting attempt from over a month ago.
Her request for more funding for security for her office was rejected.
There were 2 arrests from earlier threats. One led to 2 years probation the other 18 months in prison.
When threats aren't seriously prosecuted it sends a message, Keep doing it!
#Colorado Secretary of State, #JenaGriswold correctly has said individual states effectively decide outcomes of #National elections all the time by passing state #VoterSuppression #legislation.

“Within three weeks of it being filed, I received 64 death threats and over 900 non-lethal threats of abuse. I stopped counting after that.”
“Donald Trump is a major threat to American democracy, elections and stability. He uses threats and intimidation against his political opponents. When he doesn’t win elections, he tries to steal them.”

#JenaGriswold, the #Colorado secy of state, said in a statement, “I look forward to the #Colorado #court’s substantive resolution of the issues, & am hopeful that this case will provide guidance to #election officials on Trump’s eligibility as a candidate for office.”
The #plaintiffs are #Republican & #unaffiliated voters who argue that #Trump is #ineligible & that they will be #harmed if he appears on primary #ballots.
“They’re hypocrites”: Republicans now funding the same voting methods they demonized under Trump — “What they do is lie to try to steal elections, that has not stopped,” says Colorado Sec. of State Jena Griswold
