Dear Members of the Colorado Republican State Central Committee,

I write in the public interest to start discussion of how Colorado’s election system can be improved. I am one of the lawyers representing Tina Peters in U.S. District Court case no. 23-cv-03014-NYW captioned Peters v. United States et al, and 10th Circuit Court of Appeals case no. 24-1013 (appeal of Order dismissing DA Daniel Rubinstein).  The information herein is part of the pleadings and briefs in the above cases.

Republican officials made statements about Tina Peters in an email published by the Denver Post on February 5, 2024.  The authors raise important public issues:  Is Colorado’s election system secure and transparent?  Does it comply with federal and state law? These questions should be publicly debated.

The authors incorrectly state that Tina Peters made a backup image of the Mesa County computer hard drive “because she believed she was proving election fraud.” 

The truth is that Tina Peters made a backup image of the Mesa County computer hard drive because she was required to do so by federal law.

MORE OF THE TINA PETERS MESA STORY, FROM BARB HULET
Compiled by Peg Cage, www.MyColoradoGOP.org

Tina Peters sits in jail now as a warning to any would-be whistleblower against election corruption in Colorado.  Barb Hulet, the CORA Queen, bravely gave interviews to two journalists to disclose what her Colorado Open Records Act research revealed about some of Mesa County’s “elected” officials’ relationships and dealings with election equipment providers.  The two resulting stories provide the latest chapter in Colorado’s “Gold Standard elections” book of fiction and facts.

The first was titled Truth is Treason in an Empire of Lies, written by Erin Clements and posted on Dec. 2, 2024.  https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/bombshell-exclusive-colorado-officials-persecuting-tina-peters-worked/  The article builds upon this allegation:

After Peters’ sentencing last month to nine years in prison—new information has surfaced showing that Colorado officials were working for Dominion and Runbeck, while simultaneously orchestrating Peters’ reputational and legal downfall through back channels.

A VOTE FOR PROPOSITION 131 WILL KILL SELF-GOVERNANCE IN COLORADO
by Peg Cage

An informed rebuttal to paid consultant Dick Wadhams’s pro-131 misinformation article claiming that it protects voters from election “disenfranchisement,” and a plea for Coloradans to vote NO on Proposition 131.   (Posted with links at www.MyColoradoGOP.org) (Print without links HERE)

Dick Wadhams claims the Colorado Republican Party is about to destroy itself and that only the passage of Proposition 131 will save it.  Newsflash:  After decades of “leadership” from chairmen like him, the state Republican Party is in its death throes, and his article makes him look like the anxious undertaker gnawing on the nails for the coffin.  In fact, the party can only be saved if voters don’t fall for his 131, which creates Jungle Primaries AND Ranked-Choice-Voting general elections.

As a former state chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, Wadhams should know that the main purpose of the Party is to direct the process for its members to start at caucus and elect Republicans to office, to create a government in the image of the party platform.

Dick Wadhams is a former CO GOP Chairman, a paid consultant for Proposition 131, and the author of the article Prop: 131 will protect GOP voters from disenfranchisement.  He says the current GOP leadership is “divisive” for advocating closed primary elections.  Wadhams claims that only the passage of 131 will save the party. 

That directly contradicts what Kent Thiry said, while pouring millions of dollars into perverting the “Citizens’ Initiatives” ballot access process for 131.  Thiry’s stated goal is to “kill the political parties.”  Thiry is a co-chair of Unite America.  Their website shows a nationwide, multi-million-dollar effort to invest “in solutions … such as open primaries, majority winners, and ending gerrymandering.”  Thiry is the Colorado face for the national effort to remove citizens’ control from elections and ultimately government.

Why did both the Title Board and Colorado Supreme Court claim Proposition 131 meets Colorado’s “single subject” mandate?  If passed, it will institute an All-Candidate Primary (or “Jungle Primary”) AND Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) general elections for some races.

The Jungle Primary kills the very purpose of political organizations, which is to select candidates who best represent their party platform for the general election ballot for all voters. 

Ranked-Choice Voting is a line-item on the Communist Party USA platform.

So, there it is.  It seems Wadhams isn’t worried at all about disenfranchising Republicans, or any other American voters.  He, and most of the GOP Chairmen since him, have tried to undermine the party system because IT WORKS.    

We the People must soundly reject 131 now by voting NO, then begin on November 6th to restore integrity and good leadership to our political parties.  Hearty caucuses, assemblies, and non-infiltrated primaries will produce locally known and trusted candidates.  Honest general elections between candidates with established platforms will produce a representative American Government.
