Joe Biden trashes Trump voters: ‘The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters’

By Paul Bois | Breitbart President Joe Biden overshadowed his vice president’s closing argument just one week before the election by trashing American voters and calling Trump supporters “garbage.” Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her closing argument in front of the White House on Tuesday night, but soon-to-be former President Joe Biden said ahead of the big event that Trump supporters are “garbage.” Per the Associated Press: Biden told reporters Tuesday that he will not attend Harris’ speech because the event is “for her,” but he planned to watch it on television. Ahead of Harris’ remarks, Biden is reacted to a comic calling Puerto Rico garbage at a Trump rally last weekend by saying, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” READ THE FULL STORY AT ...

Griswold’s office response to GOP concern lacks detail requested by Williams

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice In response to an inquiry made by the Colorado Republican Party, the office of secretary of state Jena Griswold claims only partial passwords to certain components of the Colorado voting systems were improperly made available in a public area of the website she manages. "This does not pose an immediate security threat to Colorado’s elections, nor will it impact how ballots are counted," a statement from her office reads. The statement received by the Rocky Mountain Voice did not include comment from Griswold in a long explanation of election security measures, which never addressed how the passwords were placed in a public area of the website and by whom. In fact, the statement failed to address much of the concern from Colorado Republican...

Was Mesa County election fraud case a result of Sec. Griswold’s reduction to one signature verification judge?

By Jen Schumann | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice On Aug. 26, 2021, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold made a number of emergency election rules permanent. One rule mandated that only one election judge oversee the first step of signature verification. This rule removed the option for county clerks to use bipartisan teams of election judges at a critical first step. It is where signatures are analyzed, often with machines, before separating ballots from envelopes. In Mesa County, a recent fraudulent ballot scheme may have been preventable. It might have been, if Griswold had left more control to county election clerks. A rule to use just one election judge in the first step of signature verification has led to a costly, time-consuming reexamination of thousands of b...

Colorado GOP: Hundreds of voting system passwords were publicly shared by secretary of state’s office

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice More than 600 BIOS passwords for voting system components in 63 of the state's 64 counties were publicly shared in a file on Secretary of State Jena Griswold's website, a news release email from the Colorado Republican Party reads.

The file may have been posted publicly since August, with the amended file posted Oct. 24. BIOS passwords allow access for "knowledgeable users to fundamentally manipulate systems and data" and to remove trace evidence of doing so, the Colorado Republ...

Kamala Harris unveiling a new ‘accent’ during Philadelphia rally a week before the 2024 election

By Katelyn Caralle | Daily Mail Kamala Harris can't seem to stop switching her accent. The vice president is once again being roasted online for using a 'fake accent' to assimilate to a predominantly black audience. While speaking at a church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, social media users highlighted a point where they said Harris began speaking like a southern Baptist preacher and quoted from the Bible's book of Psalms. 'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, but joy cometh in the morning. And church morning is on its way,' Harris said in a widely-shared clip. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY MAIL
