In Colorado, only about 5% of its registered voters had a say in the presidential nominating process this year. Regardless of how you feel about the presumptive nominees, it’s hard to imagine a less inclusive system, and it prompts one to wonder, “How did Colorado get here?”

According to the advocacy group Let Colorado Vote, it boils down to ineffective caucuses that are not serving the state’s population.

On Tuesday, June 14, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) reported that it had contracted a security firm called CloudStrike and a security audit of its IT infrastructure revealed at least two separate advanced persistent threats, dubbed "Cozy Bear" and "Fancy Bear." These threats infiltrated the DNC's internal network and accessed and exfiltrated the entire database of Trump opposition research.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF.- Con un voto de 3-2, el Comité de Reglas del Consejo de la Ciudad de San Diego autorizó al Procurador General a conducir una extensa revisión de dos medidas electorales. Una habla sobre la regla de 50%+1 que actualmente domina las elecciones primarias de la ciudad, mientras la otra es una propuesta que prohibiría la inscripción de propuestas ciudadanas en la boleta electoral de junio, con el objetivo de que estas solo puedan ser votadas durante la elección general de noviembre.

In a press conference held Tuesday, Sanders presented his list of necessary reforms for the Democratic Party.

In the wake of the mass shooting in an Orlando nightclub over the weekend that left 49 dead and 53 wounded, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, the two-sided narrative in the media has turned to two subjects, radical Islamic terrorism and guns.

On the subject of guns and mass shootings, the questions that are often debated in the media, online, and on social media are: 1.) Are gun-related deaths on the rise in the U.S.? 2.) Are mass shootings and mass shooting deaths on the rise?

SAN DIEGO, CALIF.- By a vote of 3-2 the San Diego City Council Rules Committee authorized the City Attorney to conduct a thorough review of two separate election measures. One dealing with the 50%+1 rule that currently exists in the city’s primary elections, the other, a proposal that would prohibit initiatives from being placed on the ballot in June, in favor of the November general election ballot.

A new poll puts Donald Trump's unfavorable rating at 70 percent. This, coupled with Hillary Clinton's disapproval rating hovering in the mid-50s equals one thing: a race to see which unpopular candidate can win.
