Because SoS runs elections and the rail district had no statutory obligation to fulfill that aspect of running the election. Kyle’s first intuition was right: This is Griswold’s screwup.

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

What statute or legal principle shows that this was the rail district’s responsibility, rather than the entity that actually ensures statewide elections are run properly, i.e. the SoS? I think you’re reading too much into the rail district’s willingness to go above and beyond their legal duties.

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Look, reporters very often don't understand the law. Will you at least grant that much?

000

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

That only says the district is responsible to provide the SoS with the ballot titles, content, and order of ballot measures. It doesn't say anything about district maps or otherwise direct the rail district to run the election. These legal niceties matter.

000

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I think you're confused. 7A doesn't say anything about changing the boundaries of the district. The district was changed from the 2021 boundaries with SB25-172, which went into effect in May, meaning the SoS and clerks had several months to update their systems and failed to do so.

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I really hope that as Coloradans are deciding whether to vote for 7A, they keep top-of-mind the hot and dry year we’ve had, and how much car transportation contributes to climate change.

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

That only matters if the district had a legal obligation to provide any map. They don’t. That’s undisputed.

000

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

That’s false, the statute itself is very clear (and many clerks in other counties did in fact figure it out!), and also this is very classically the SoS’s responsibility. You have no statute defeating the default assumption that the SoS runs the election.

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

If you can point to a single statute saying it was the rail district's legal responsibility to get the clerks those maps, I'll retract this. But it doesn't exist. SoS and the clerks messed up, and the rail district is falling on its sword for tactical reasons. That's all.

200

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I bet they do, since if it's not the fault of the rail district, then the clerks share at least some of the blame.

000

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Griswold really is terrible, and so far the evidence really is consistent with this being her fuckup. Kyle presented no quality evidence that the rail district failed in any of its obligations.

030

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Kyle has zero quality evidence that this is the fault of the rail district. Very disappointed in this coverage.

100

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Kyle's instincts were right the first time. Under Colorado law, it's the Secretary of State's responsibility to ensure this election gets run correctly. See C.R.S. 32-22-109(3)(c). 9NEWS, please clarify this. The truth is still putting on its shoes. leg.colorado.gov/bill_files/1...

Urgent and important: Denver city government is considering a dramatic scale-back of its measure legalizing more affordable and sustainable housing types. This scaleback is harmful and unnecessary. A clear majority of Denver voters, 63%, support this measure. 1/x

If you've spent your whole life going hiking, driving a Prius and having a beautiful garden in the 'burbs, it's horrifying to think that the guy who takes the train and lives in a steel tower is doing a better job of saving the planet than you.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.

I’m not a centrist. I’m probably more progressive than you. You voted for the guy who said he’d let wealthy cities opt out of laws promoting transit and housing affordability. That’s not a virtue.

California banned same-sex marriage by ballot in ***2008*** Everybody had reason to treat it like political poison. It wouldn’t help gay people to just go out and lose the election to the Republicans you claim to hate so much.

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Obama has privately supported gay marriage since the ‘90s and only was weaselly about it in public because Dems were traumatized from losing elections over it, including the presidential in ‘04. www.nytimes.com/2014/04/20/m...

Cool, so your reason for hating on the people who say we should be able to realistically build more transit and affordable housing is a letter written on a different continent and a decade before the Abundance authors were even born. Totally sensible.

100

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

I’ve read your article but it’s plain you haven’t read the Abundance book. Nobody’s talking about scuttling all fire codes; we’re talking about ending exclusionary zoning and not requiring vital transit projects to jump through a bunch of climate-counterproductive hoops.

100

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Yeah I think you’re lacking context of the specific problems with the American built environment. We really do need rapid densification and huge investment in transit here to stave off climate catastrophe, and gov’t is currently blocking that very directly.

100

Robert Greer @robertagreer.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

The point is that not everyone who claims the Abundance mantle is doing anywhere near the same stuff the main Abundance people are. I really don’t think left/liberals should be thinking the main enemy is Ezra Klein of all people
