Colorado Secretary Of State Jena Griswold is happy the Trump v. Anderson Supreme Court decision came down before Super Tuesday.

“It is easy,” said Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold about the state’s voting system on the day in which delegates are up for grabs in Colorado and more than a dozen other states and one U.S. territory. Thirty-seven Republican delegates and 72 Democratic delegates are at stake.

When CBS News Colorado talked to Griswold Tuesday morning, she said there were fewer ballots in so far than 2020’s Super Tuesday.

“They do it last minute, but before seven o’clock tonight.”

She’s aware that Coloradans take their time when casting a ballot, “but also,” will only vote if “folks think there are actually big races in the primaries.”

On Monday the Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump was allowed to remain on Colorado’s primary ballot after a case at the state’s top court ruled to remove his name for his conduct during the January 6th insurrection.

“The Supreme Court confirmed that he is [allowed on the ballot], which I think is just a good decision going into today because so many people will be voting here in Colorado and across the country.”

Although, Griswold is not sure how that case will affect voter turnout today.

If you ask Griswold why you should vote in today’s Super Tuesday, she said, “Every election is important.”

She also recommends anyone who is still holding onto their mail-in ballot to drop it off because “so many people have fought for our rights and our ability to live in this democracy” and that it’s exciting to help shape national politics and local communities.

The cause of the collision remains under investigation.

Authorities closed I-70 at milepost 254 for approximately 1.5 hours while they investigated and cleared the scene.

CSP warned drivers that the winter weather has caused icy and snow-packed areas along the highway. They urged drivers to delay traveling through the area until conditions improve. Those who must travel through the area should leave extra space between vehicles and reduce their speed.

Rocky, age 10, had gone missing in late December after escaping from a pet sitter while his owner was traveling.

According to local media, volunteers from Summit Lost Pet Rescue and members of the local community helped search for the dog for weeks, eventually locating and capturing him using a tip from a homeowner who spotted the dog on her Ring camera and a trap set with the owner’s scent.

According to Summit Daily, Rocky had gone from 50 pounds to 28 pounds during the time he was lost.

Video posted by Summit Lost Pet Rescue shows the heartwarming moment Rocky is reunited with his owner, Steven Maa.

“It takes partnership, a village, and donations to save lost pets,” the organization wrote on social media.
