Colorado secretary of state deletes request, then whole thread
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold asked national media to refrain from calling races or even announcing election results in a series of posts Thursday evening on Twitter.
She later deleted the thread and posted an apology.
“ATTN NATIONAL MEDIA EXECUTIVES: Our democracy cannot be held hostage to a ratings race,” Griswold said in the first tweet. “If you care about our democracy, you will protect it. Full Stop.
“We are in the middle of a pandemic and the President of the United States has telegraphed that he may claim victory on election night, even when millions of ballots will not have been counted,” the first-term Democrat continued. “In the coming days, I will ask election administrators, voting rights organizations, media ethicists, corporations, religious leaders, and all concerned Americans to stand with me in demanding media executives #PressPause for democracy.”
Another tweet, which called on national media to “pledge to #PressPause for democracy” and neither project winners nor announce results on Nov. 3, was deleted hours later. The tweet was “misinterpreted,” Griswold said, and she posted a replacement that called on national media not to call “a presidential winner/loser until the millions of outstanding mail ballots are counted.”

even the Dem Colorado Senate Majority Leader thinks so:
“Strongly disagree,” tweeted Colorado Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, a fellow Democrat. “This will only cause mass confusion and creates an opening for reckless behavior from the President. Demanding journalists to withhold verifiable facts or rational projections is counter to how a free democracy works.”

What a nut case State Colorado has become electing this moron.
But I think they missed the crazy eyes.
Democrats are evil scum.
No, no she doesn't.
