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.”

    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 lit 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.

        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

        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

            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
