Colorado County Clerks say they are tired of being threatened, they are tired of the lies about the 2020 election, they are tired of the service to their communities being questioned and they want it to stop. They have been verbally and physically threatened, libeled in written documents and on private social media groups, challenged in court, and some have received death threats. All because they are public servants doing their jobs.
“It’s disgraceful. It’s a sad state of our time that these things are happening. We’re talking about elected officials who go to work every day making sure that people have the right to vote,” said Colorado County Clerk’s Association Executive Director Matt Crane about the growing attacks on county clerks.”The fact that they are dealing with death threats — it’s a disgrace. So many people are upset that their candidate lost. I totally get that, but the claims are lies. The purposeful disinformation makes it more reprehensible.”
