Profile in courage:
Denver Clerk and Recorder Wayne Vaden resigned today amid chaos in the Denver Election Commission which he oversees.
Citing his belief “that accountability is the underpinning of honorable public service,” Vaden said he was resigning from a “personal disappointment over my efforts” with the commission.
I don’t know any of the backstory on this. But the election in Denver was a disaster, and I have long thought that the European model of falling on your sword when a disaster happens on your watch is noble, honorable, and should be emulated here in the States.
