The Orange Ape, ever the scofflaw and manipulative chickens**t, gets all scaredy catttish when he knows the majority of Americans are likely to vote against him. Hence his attempt to make voting harder for Coloradans. What a douche. www.cpr.org/2026/03/12/m...

Colorado has been voting by mail for more than a decade. President Trump is trying to put an end to that.
Trump’s push to limit mail-in voting would send Coloradans back to polling places. Does he or the federal government have the power?
