Colorado Election Recount Failures and Power Grid Vulnerabilities

On Monday, August 8, 2022, Kim Monson examines critical threats to Colorado’s election integrity and the nation’s power grid. Former State Senator Kevin Lundberg reveals how Secretary of State Jenna Griswold conducted an illegal recount that failed to follow Colorado law, while Cora Madison from Roots Medical shares practical dietary tips for taking control of personal health.

Election Integrity and the Illegal Recount

Start listening at 37:16 – Hour 1

Kevin Lundberg, author of the Lundberg Report, exposes serious violations in how Secretary of State Jenna Griswold conducted the statewide recount following the primary election. Lundberg explains that Colorado law under CRS 1-10.5-102 requires a test comparison between machine counts and hand counts before any recount proceeds, but Griswold completely eliminated this legally mandated step.

The former state senator argues that the so-called risk-limiting audit Griswold substituted doesn’t examine actual ballots cast by voters. Instead, it uses test decks generated by election machinery to verify only that equipment processes ballots consistently, not accurately. This distinction matters critically because adjudication and data manipulation occur before final vote totals emerge.

Lundberg notes that Griswold could have settled all controversy by simply ordering a hand recount to demonstrate the system’s integrity. Her absolute refusal to allow manual counting of paper ballots raises serious questions about what she might be hiding. Meanwhile, Tina Peters has filed suit against the Secretary of State and county clerks demanding a legally compliant recount.

“I want to know that the elections are secure first and foremost, because there will be no red wave if there’s manipulation of any equipment.”

Power Grid Vulnerabilities and Renewable Energy Risks

Start listening at 71:29 – Hour 2

Kim discusses the documentary Grid Down, Power Up by David Tice, warning that America’s electrical grid faces grave risks from physical attacks, electromagnetic pulse events, cyber attacks, and geomagnetic disturbances. Any of these could shut down electricity for a year or longer, devastating modern American life that depends on reliable power.

Caller Mike from Masonville provides historical context, explaining how Colorado communities once operated independent power generation. Sterling had its own coal-fired plant, Loveland maintained generators in Big Thompson Canyon, and Boulder built hydroelectric facilities in 1903. The Colorado Big Thompson Project, paid off early by northern Colorado citizens, once supplied 30% of the state’s total electricity.

Mike warns that Tri-State Electric has succumbed to green energy mandates, blocking construction of a 150-megawatt coal plant that would have required approximately 3,000 windmills to replace. The push toward unreliable solar and wind power while neglecting grid security leaves Americans increasingly vulnerable.

Taking Control of Personal Health

Cora Madison from Roots Medical emphasizes that individuals can take control of their health through dietary changes. She explains that food can be either medicine or poison, and introducing anti-inflammatory eating habits creates significant health improvements.

Madison recommends three practical steps anyone can implement immediately. First, reduce sugar intake by eliminating sugary drinks, which represent a major source of inflammation-causing calories in American diets. Second, replace chips and sugary snacks with fruit containing fiber and nutrients, or grab a handful of mixed nuts like almonds or cashews. Third, drink half your body weight in ounces of water daily to support metabolism and feel full.

“What I love is that food can either be thy medicine or medicine can be thy food. So what we really do emphasize is dietary changes, like introducing an anti-inflammatory diet can make huge health changes for people and health benefits.”
