DENVER — County clerks across Colorado say they’re bracing for a surge of highly motivated election deniers working as poll watchers or election judges in the November midterms — part of a nationwide attempt to manufacture evidence of election fraud.
Local, state and federal officials, alongside political experts, have repeatedly debunked claims of election fraud but clerks in Chaffee, Eagle, El Paso, Fremont, Garfield, Summit and Weld counties told the Denver Post they’re still seeing an increasing number of bad-faith poll watchers and election judges around the state.
Encouraged, even recommended, by party officials or far-right voices with national reach, the clerks say those watchers and judges have antagonized or threatened election workers, wrongly rejected hundreds of ballots, and one man in Chaffee County even tried to steal a password to the election system last year.
The irony sits in the notion that these far-right election judges and poll watchers are damaging the country’s foundation of fair and free elections, all under the guise of fighting for election security, said Larry Jacobs, a professor of political history, elections and voting behavior at the University of Minnesota. Their goals appear to be to sow doubt and prop up losing candidates. The effort continues former President Donald Trump’s work to overturn the 2020 election except it’s now more sophisticated.
“It’s moved from spur of the moment, ad hoc, to an organized, well-funded, premeditated effort to make charges of election fraud,” Jacobs said.

If I recall correctly, in the 2012 election Summit County had something like 140% voter turnout. Could that be ballot stuffing fraud or am I just paranoid? My county, Gilpin County had a reported 104% voter turnout per the Denver Post. Those are just two of the ten Colorado counties that had impressive voter participation of over 100%.
These people and the author are insane...
County clerks across Colorado say they’re bracing for a surge of highly motivated election deniers working as poll watchers or election judges in the November midterms — part of a nationwide attempt to manufacture evidence of election fraud.You'd think the liberals who claim there IS NO election fraud would be happy as punch to have citizens observe the elections. It also begs the question -- "Why didn't they get their own observers?" The whole process is open and transparent. All you had to do was get registered in advance and that was easy to do.
This is just the kind of fear I love seeing in an article. Warms me inside.
Proud to be a member of the New Heretics
Now that they staged the Inquisition Part II, when does the stake burning event get underway?
“This is just the kind of fear I love seeing in an article. Warms me inside.”
Same here.
They say that like it’s a bad thing.
Don’t they want election judges to be vigilant.
What they are trying to is set up the expectations that Republicans are going to call out the Democrats for fraud.
So, people will believe that it is just Republicans trying to stir up trouble.
There were districts is Detroit in 2020 with over 200% voter turnout.
No fraud there though.
The results were certified.
This author, Conrad Swanson, is a tool. Simply regurgitating leftist talking points. What a pathetic person.
Disenfranchising 70 million people, and then smearing them as "election deniers" is a rather useless tactic and only highlights the rats crookedness even more.
Its high time the GOP to fill all these slots to stop election. And this author is a liar.
denier - someone smart enough to know they are being lied to
Fixed.
Correction . . .
part of a nationwide attempt to manufacture evidence of MINIMIZE election fraud.
They would probably have a cow if they knew I conceal carried as an election judge for 5 years
They sound Scared that their fraud will be uncovered or prevented this time around...
And this is how they are going to KO any poll watchers who witness vote fraud. The vote fraud game is like a well oiled machine.
How dare they work to have correct election counts.
What’s the world coming to?
What a load of bias crap
