Nice catch Colorado! We have to stay on our toes guys!

Somebody is going to jail for a long time. 18 months and $5, 000 per count. I hope they are sentenced consecutively, so 18 years and $60, 000

I wish that I could place a wager on the Party that the criminals support.

As an American I believe in free and fair elections. Glad this was caught, this is not a partisan issue.

[gregsmith]

Good job Colorado, the system works. Thank you for your dedication to fair elections.

[tzuccaro]

Thank you for addressing this issue. I do hope you catch the people that are doing this.

I live in Colorado and I'm notified when my ballot has been mailed to me. I recived it 2 days later, voted and dropped them off at a ballot drop box. Two days later I was notified that my ballot had been received and was pending signature verification. Just yesterday I was notifed that my ballot had been counted. Our system works well and clearly it did in this case because they caught 12 of them. I would be interested to know which candidates were voted for on those 12 ballots. Since they were in Mesa county I have my suspicions.

All of these election officials have had many death threats...and their families, and their co-workers. It's a pathetic and Un-American situation.

They also need to fire Griswald before i can even think about taking this system serious. We need to go back to paper ballots on one day, make it a national Holliday. Only military actice duty can mail ballot from their post all at once stamped by the US military.

After what happened with Tina Peters? Cults!

[deborahhoeflinger]

Every single Secretary of State needs people to continue to watch them. I didn’t sign my whole name and it was rejected. I had to resign how I signed in the past. It was accepted but I’m so glad they caught that.

[bootskanchelsis]

Mesa County aint having none of those shenanigans again.

[terintiaflavius]

She is completely incompetent and needs to resign or be removed. She is not capable of doing the job she is supposed to do.

[cherylernst]

I guess the undereducated don't realize the ability for law enforcement to catch people. They can pull fingerprints from paper products now. There is also touch DNA. It is getting harder and harder to get away with crimes.
I hope that when this person is caught, there is no mercy. It is a serious crime and affects everyone in the country.

[kimberlybaker]

Who would be stupid enouph to think they could get away with this??😮

[HardboiledBread]

Good to see detecting fraud is working

[patricianietzold]

Thank you CO ! The system works, as it should!! Go baby, go!!

[stealthtn]

Someone is paying them to do this, and they need prosecuted.

[kirkthiets]

I vote by mail and I am notified when it is received.

[jackrader]

Stiffer and swift penalties are needed-that will help stop this
