Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams has joined his peers across the country in expressing disappointment with the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to classify election systems as “critical infrastructure” without the promised collaboration process.
One concern is that the classification may give the federal government more control over elections, which are run by states and local governments. The designation was made last Friday in the waning days of President Obama’s administration.
A lynx that was spotted walking across a ski slope two weeks ago at the Purgatory Ski Resort in southwest Colorado was found dead at the area Sunday.
Purgatory ski patrol members found the animal on a ski slope on the west side of the resort in the Chairlift 8 area. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has retrieved the carcass and it will be sent to the agency’s lab in Fort Collins for a necropsy – the animal equivalent of an autopsy.
A video of the animal walking slowly across a ski run was viewed nearly a million times on social media.

Residents and visitors are being asked to avoid the area around Cheyenne Mountain State Park as strong winds have downed power lines, shifted dirt and brush, and overturned at least one camper.
Power lines were blown down in front of the park entrance, and while fire and utility crews are on scene, entry to the park is unsafe.
