Carman: Even in Colorado, women’s rights, human rights are under siege
About a decade ago, I attended a meeting of the Colorado Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice where the speaker chided the members for continuing to advocate for the right to abortion when it so clearly was no longer necessary. The issue was settled, the speaker insisted to the crowd of clergy members and lay women. […]

Colorado Republicans’ hopes of winning in 2022 clash this week with 2020 election deniers
Colorado Republicans’ hopes for winning in November could hinge on a clash this week between those in the party still focused on baseless claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and those who want to focus on the future.

Littwin: The law and order party is having a little trouble in Colorado with both law and order
I’m not sure which is the more surprising fact I learned when reading the story about GOP gubernatorial candidate Danielle Neuschwanger in the Colorado Sun on Friday.

Nicolais: Colorado’s GOP county assemblies proved the party belongs to the fringe
A few weeks ago I wrote that Republicans attempting to bar unaffiliated voters from participating in their primary elections were not the fringe of the party, but represent a substantial portion — possibly an outright majority — of the current Colorado GOP.

Nicolais: Republicans suing to bar unaffiliated voters from Colorado’s primaries aren’t on the fringe of the party
In 2020, I voted in my first Democratic primary. I am unaffiliated and received ballots for both major parties. The Democratic ballot had more choices and more at stake.
