As Colorado’s chief elections officer, Griswold has been at the forefront fighting against the Trump’s unprecedented assault on voting and elections, from the Department of Justice’s quest to obtain sensitive voter data from every state, to reigniting dangerous 2020 conspiracy theories.
Colorado secretary of state: Fulton County raid is ‘weaponization of the justice system’
“It’s very likely that this is a continued weaponization of the justice system, the levers of the federal government, against our democracy and elections, Griswold said.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

We must stop ICE from killing Americans and tearing families apart.

That’s why I introduced the ICE OUT Act to actually hold rogue agents accountable — and why I joined Brad Hoylman-Sigal,
@thenyic.bsky.social, and thousands of New Yorkers today to demand that Trump get ICE OUT of our cities.

Democrats and pro-voting advocates reacted with outrage and unwavering opposition after House Republicans unveiled the Make Elections Great Again Act — a sweeping proposal that would dramatically restrict voting access and remake federal elections in ways designed to suppress turnout.

If the president cannot be sued while in office, then the president should not be able to file suit while in office. Fair is fair.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.
