At least a dozen mailed ballots were intercepted and cast on the Western Slope before voters received them, according to the Colorado Secretary of State's Office. Three of those ballots were cast and counted in Mesa County before the county clerk was able to pull them from the final tally.

Colorado's Department of State learned about the intercepted ballots on Tuesday.

"The ballots were filled out, the return envelopes were signed, they were then returned to a USPS blue box, so that's a postal box, not a ballot drop box," said Secretary of State Jena Griswold in a news conference on Thursday afternoon. "The issue was discovered during the signature verification process."

Predictions:

  • The perpetrator is a Republican.
  • His excuse will be, "Everyone does it and no one gets caught," despite getting caught.
  • Other Republicans will continue to believe in imaginary Democratic voter fraud, while ignoring instances of actual fraud like this one from their own party members.

Yea sure democrats do voter fraud and nobody ever has the proof. Either democrats are so good at fraud because we're much smarter or there really isn't any fraud.

The problem is that Republicans are being told that there is proof. That the fraud is rampant and everyone knows it. It's just that "they" keep removing and hiding the information.

My mom seriously believes that there is mountains of proof and that she has seen it in the past, but can't find it anymore because it has been deleted from the internet.

You see, it's not fraud when you're in power or when we do it.

Don't you see? That's the enemy they're up against, so they have to cheat! /s

If Dems do fraud it is in fewer numbers than Repubs' deceased grandmothers illegally voting from beyond the grave.

I wish Biden would just arrest Trump and Musk for being Russian assets. Use eminent domain to seize Musk's companies (since taxpayers made them all profitable). Then remove any supreme justice that is corrupt with a special council (Muller and Smith seem like good picks).

Since the Republicans have no candidate, make Harris president. Then we need to redoing our system bc we have a lot of flaws embedded in it.

That sounds like something a fascist would do. Which is likely one of the many reasons it won’t be done.

Trump should have been arrested on January 7th, and Elon is a naturalized citizen who has both received billions in government aid and is working with America's enemies.

Fascism is not when the powerful are obligated to follow the law or face legal consequences.

You are correct

But also there was that recent supreme Court ruling that basically makes the US president a king

So anything Biden ( or any elected president ) does as president is completely and totally sanctioned by the US supreme Court

The Overton window in the US has shifted so far to the right we literally had the supreme Court say the president cannot commit a crime...

It won't be done not because it's fascist. But because the Democratic party doesn't want to play with the modern political ruleset

So you're saying it takes a fascist to arrest one? Lol, ok.

Instead of doing things in his power to stop the rise of fascism, Biden is happy to sit back and allow the fraudsters to do their work. At least he was civil about everything though

If you use the fascist playbook to combat fascism, you are a fascist.

Guess we've already lost then, because nothing substantial is being done to combat the rise of fascism. Hope my friends don't go to camps

Everyone should try and use your ballot tracking if available to you to confirm whether yours got to where it needs to be.

Say it with me, every accusation is a confession

The GOP can only win if they cheat.
