As the Colorado primary election heats up, a shocking story is emerging about the campaign of Victor Marx, a Republican candidate for governor. A thorough investigation has uncovered some disturbing allegations of campaign finance irregularities, and the fallout is just beginning to unfold.

This episode of the podcast delves into the details of Marx's campaign, including allegations of "smurfing" - the practice of breaking down large donations into smaller ones to avoid detection. The campaign's financial disclosures have revealed some staggering numbers, with over $1 million in donations exceeding the legal limit. The implications of these findings are serious, and both Ryan and in-studio guest Dick Wadhams are joined by Darcy Schoening, a Republican who has been investigating Marx's campaign, and David Flaherty of Magellan Strategies, a top pollster in Colorado.

The conversation touches on the challenges of polling in Colorado, where the electorate has become increasingly divided between MAGA and non-MAGA voters. Ryan also asks David about the only poll conducted in the GOP primary race for governor, released by the Marx campaign, which has been criticized for its lack of transparency and methodology.
