Oct. 16, 2025: What will Dominion sale mean for elections? Plus, Colorado’s Voting Rights Act

Now that Colorado-based Dominion Voting Systems is being sold, there are questions about what that will mean to upcoming elections. We talk with county clerks who rely on the system that’s been at the center of election lies and debunked conspiracies. Then, as the U.S. Supreme Court appears poised to rollback another provision of the Voting Rights Act, Colorado’s taken action to make sure access is enshrined in state law. Later, a mom rushed in to save her children in the Uvalde school shooting. A documentary about her actions screens in Colorado this weekend. And, known as “Pueblo’s little jewel box,” it’s marking a 125-year milestone.
