Election integrity activist Holly Kasun reveals her three-year legal battle against the NAACP, League of Women Voters, and Mi Familia Vota after her volunteer canvassing organization uncovered an 8-14% error rate in Colorado’s voter rolls. Despite winning decisively at trial, Kasun was denied attorney’s fees under a 1978 Supreme Court precedent that protects civil rights plaintiffs from financial consequences when they lose. She is now raising funds to appeal and potentially overturn this standard at the Supreme Court.
Kim opened the show discussing HB 25-1312, the “Kelly Loving Act,” which would define deadnaming and misgendering as forms of coercive control in child custody decisions. The bill could allow courts to remove children from parents who refuse to affirm their child’s gender identity. State Senator Mark Baisley called it “so egregious” and warned it “leaves it open to all kinds of government involvement in the rearing of our children.”
“So we are playing defense, but I believe that it’s time to go on offense. We need to start taking this back.”
State Senator Mark Baisley announced his candidacy for Governor of Colorado, arguing that Republicans have been “playing defense for 10 years” and need to “go on offense.” He discussed the Democratic trifecta’s push to challenge TABOR through HJR 25-1023, which would sue the state claiming the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of a republican form of government.
Dr. Travis Morrell of Colorado Principled Physicians introduced Evan De La Cruz, a woman who began transitioning at age 21 in 2007. After 18 years of hormone therapy and surgeries including double mastectomy and hysterectomy, she has detransitioned and now advocates for greater gatekeeping in transgender care.
“As much as I appreciated their compassion at the time, I rather have appreciated the ethics they promised to uphold. Because that’s what counts long term. Do no harm.”
Holly Kasun, co-founder of U.S. Election Integrity Plan (USEIP), described how her volunteer organization knocked on 10,000 doors across Colorado to verify voter roll accuracy. Their March 2022 report found an 8-14% error rate in voter data. Two days before publishing, the NAACP, League of Women Voters, and Mi Familia Vota sued her under the KKK Act, accusing the canvassers of voter intimidation.
The case went to trial before a Biden-appointed judge who ruled in favor of the defendants without requiring them to present their case. However, due to the 1978 Christiansburg Standard, Kasun was denied reimbursement for nearly $500,000 in legal fees. This precedent assumes civil rights plaintiffs always act in good faith, shielding them from financial consequences when they lose.
“These groups use lawfare as a fundraising model. This is one of their mechanisms for raising money.”
Kasun is now raising $45,000 to fund an appeal that could overturn the Christiansburg Standard at the Supreme Court. Supporters can donate at GiveSendGo.com/StopNGOLawfare.
