Attempts To Undermine Colorado Election Integrity Before Midterm Elections Threatens the Democrats' Lead

Colorado election integrity had a run-in with an attempt to allegedly pad Democrat votes in the state for the upcoming midterm.

A month ago, like a dread rerun of the 2020 presidential elections wherein, 30,000 aliens or non-residents were given postcards to vote.

Voter Registration Notices To Non-Colorado Citizens

Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a democratic party member, later explained that the 30,000 spurious invitations were caused by an alleged glitch in the computer system.

She later claimed these non-resident votes would be shut out of the system itself, reported the Epoch Times.

It takes place at a time of pervasive suspicion of casting a ballot with integrity following the presidential election in 2020, as Griswold, who has regarded her role as a nationwide proponent of safe elections, wants a second term in the November midterms.

The incumbent confronts Republican Pam Anderson, an erstwhile suburban Denver clerk and head of the state's county clerks association, who has been a strong proponent of Colorado's all-mail voting system.

State GOP chairwoman, Kristi Burton Brown, denounced Griswold for such a mistake, declaring in a Monday comment to the Associated Press that Jena Griswold continually makes easily preventable errors well before ballots are sent by mail, noted the Associated Press.

The mistake happened when the notices were mailed on September 27 to residents who kept non-citizen Colorado driver's licenses. As shown by Colorado Public Radio News, the front of the card states, "Make sure your voice gets heard this November," and afterward directs viewers to "Sign up to VOTE today at www.GoVoteColorado.gov."

Every two years, Colorado starts sending postcards to qualified but unregistered citizens, trying to encourage them to cast a ballot. But Colorado's election integrity is hampered by it in the midterm elections.

Records indicate that either you or your household could be entitled to vote, yet you do not seem to be enrolled at your current residence, based on the postcard.

As stated in the report, the mailing also included the state's voter eligibility rules, like age, nationality, and having lived in the area for a minimum of 22 days.

Error in the Department of Motor Vehicles Database

Staff members later evaluated a list of names of 102,000 people given by the Electronic Registration Information Center with a municipal Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) directory, observing a formatting error by the latter that also induced the system to malfunction to flag the disqualified names even before envelopes went out, Griswold's office stated in a Monday quote.

The incident is now being probed, as stated by the office, and then another notice has been sent to roughly 30,000 people.

The state is now also applying measures to prevent anybody not qualified to vote from the registration process, such as regularly comparing the Social Security Cards required with each application. County clerks will also refer suspicious instances to local state prosecutors for evaluation. As Griswold's office said, nobody who received the postcards unwittingly tried to register.

Colorado is among at least 18 states, together with the District of Columbia, that give driver's licenses to non-US residents. By the National Conference of State Legislatures, residents In Colorado, eligible voters are also automatically enrolled once they acquire their driver's license from the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Colorado election integrity before the Midterm elections is a concern with conservatives who don't want another 2020; that allegedly had rampant cheating by the Dems.
