One of the more interesting things about the election was not that the media labeled Sidney Powell’s fraud assertions half-baked and crazy, but of the remarkably defensive reaction to the story. Google search engine results altered, Dominion staff removed from LinkedIn, Colorado Sec of State pulling files off state’s website, Eric Coomer disappears, Dominion lawyers up and then immediately hire GOP insider Michael Steele, etc...
Plausible explanations include a concern over appearances of election integrity as well as for the safety of Dominion employees.
But something always felt off about it: the warp speed/haste and the lack of a comparable situation for potential negative stories concerning just about anything else. It smelled bad.
So one small thing was the Colorado Sec of State removing an innocuous paragraph biography of Eric Coomer (screen captured before it was removed):
So her career was launched with help from Obama and Gov Hickenlooper in 2011 and 2013 respectively.
The 2012 election was likely a closer call than Obama would’ve liked and only a few weeks into his second term he announced a presidential committee to examine voting lines and voting technology.
Obama’s panel was said to be bipartisan in that it included Ben Ginsberg, a Republican lawyer who had just submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in favor of gay marriage. He was a Romney guy and as establishment Republican as establishment Republicans get.
The team also included Tammy Patrick, notoriously the “compliance” officer for Maricopa county. She was not in that role in 2020 but Maricopa is the poster child for non-transparency and lack of vote-custody. Not a confidence-builder. Also included are Larry Lomax from Nevada and Christopher Thomas from Michigan which means AZ, MI, NV, all swing states that were trending red from blue get represented.
Larry Lomax is noteworthy for seeing the issue: “The core problem for our fragile elections framework is secrecy: withholding from the public the evidence needed to authenticate whether results are true.”
In other words, we have an un-auditable system.
He started an election watch website here. Naturally, Google search results have scrubbed banned blackbox voting from its results. (It’s the top hit for duckduckgo with term: “larry lomax blackbox voting”).
Now just as the commission was starting its work, Gov. Hickenlooper created a new position for Obama’s “voter protection” attorney Jena Griswold. She was appointed as a “liaison to the federal government” and moved to D.C.
Hickenlooper likely became close with Obama when he was an executive member of the 2008 Dem convention hosted in Denver. Hickenlooper seemed to lack shyness of his partisanship at the time. Wikipedia has it: “In a controversial move decried by critics as breaching partisan ethics, the Hickenlooper administration arranged for the DNC host committee, a private nonprofit organization, to get untaxed fuel from Denver city-owned pumps.”
Griswold worked as liaison and then, according to a Colorado Democrat article, “work[ed] as outside counsel to a company she wouldn’t name and work[ed] on public policy issues as part of her firm, Griswold Strategies.”
Her juice, even as a 32-year old, must’ve been impressive (Obama-influenced?) because:
“The first-time candidate is one of two Democrats in the race to replace Williams but enters with the support of more than 20 current and former party officials, including Senate Minority Leader Lucia Guzman, former House Speaker Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, House Majority Leader KC Becker, former U.S. Rep. Betsy Markey and former Lt. Governor Gail Schoettler.”
**
The latest is that she managed to become chair of the Democrat Secretaries of State, a stepping board perhaps to a run for Senate. She was featured on WSJ podcast as expert in election law during 2020 election despite her transparent bias. I fear she's an up and comer and a dangerous one at that.
Her political success is odd given that by all appearances she's a horrible executive (see this, this, and this).
Her marriage seems kaput as she wrote recently, "[thanks] to my supportive partner Mario". With Enab living in Spain it seems there's a new beau in town.
A little biographical background: she was born in Ohio (and most of her family is still near Toledo) and was born of Michael and Reva, estranged from the former. In high school she was already globe-trotting hippie and SJW:
As a high school exchange student living in Argentina, Jena Marie Griswold discovered her love of dance and grew to appreciate its capacity to facilitate cross-cultural understanding.
Later, as a junior at Whitman College, Griswold spent a study abroad semester in Botswana, once again turning to dance as a way to connect with the local Tswana culture.
Now, a few months shy of graduating from Whitman, Griswold is poised to incorporate dance as an imaginative prelude to her plans for a legal career in the realm of social justice.
It seems like she's Trump-like in trying to make people fear her, but her lack of people skills may limit her rise. She ain't no Obama.
Update 2:
I was glad to see this investigative thread from a citizen journalist, an attorney in D.C.:
We reviewed the Dominion.pdf file that Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold had removed from the Colorado Sec of State website back in November. She was being called out for removing a Dominion document from the Colorado Secretary of State website (http://sos.state.co.us). She then added it back, but with redactions.
Sadly for these criminals, we know how to archive.
The question is simple. Why is Colorado Secretary of State Jenna Griswold trying to hide the fact that a former Dominion Executive is certifying voting systems for the United States Election Commission?
After a lawmaker from CO visited the AZ audit and called for an audit in CO, Sec of State Griswold adopted emergency election rules prohibiting 3rd parties from accessing voting equipment.

That's very interesting. The husband missing in photos and mentions certainly seems to be a tell.
