Here we go again. Voter fraud in Colorado. So, with thousands of votes already cast, there may be another case of voter fraud. Who would have thought?
Granted it’s only a dozen they caught, but that was enough for them to look at over 30,000. Will Trump win Colorado? Probably not, but this can affect close local, state, and Congressional races.
Voting by mail has become a contentious and politicized issue in recent years. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a news conference on Thursday that a criminal probe had been launched in the county.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced Thursday during a press conference that over a dozen mailed ballots were intercepted and cast fraudulently before the actual voters even had a chance to receive them.
“It appears that as of now approximately a dozen voters in Mesa County had their ballots intercepted before they arrived to them and cast without their knowledge,” she said.
The fraud was discovered during the signature verification process, when election staff compared signatures on the ballots to the voters’ signatures on file. When voters were contacted about the rejected signatures, in a process known as “curing,” election staff discovered that some of the ballots had been fraudulently filled out.
