Attempt to impeach Colorado’s Secretary of State fails in state House

In a historic hearing on Tuesday, the state House heard impeachment arguments against Colorado’s top election official, Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold. Republican lawmakers argued Griswold has been too partisan in her public statements about former President Donald Trump, to the point that she has violated her office. The resolution’s fate in the Democratic-controlled committee wasn’t in question; it failed on a party line vote of 8-3. However, both sides saw value in giving the resolution a full public hearing. This is the first time in nearly two decades Colorado lawmakers have considered an impeachment effort. Bente Birkland, Colorado Public Radio.
