Pueblo County is posting images of most ballots from the 2020 general election online as a way for citizens to self-audit ballots to verify election results, following an election season rife with debunked claims of fraud in the voting process.
“This year because of all of the disinformation and I want to be specific, not misinformation but knowingly-told lies about the election I made the decision that I wanted to put it all on my website,” Pueblo County Clerk Gilbert Ortiz said.
“I thought this was the perfect opportunity to show the integrity of our elections.”
Ortiz, a Democrat elected to the clerk position in 2006, testified to the State Auditor’s Board in January that he would make ballot images available online. As of April 8, that promise is met.

Donald Trump s former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday asked a judge to throw out a voting machine company s $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit relating to his false claims about the November 2020 presidential election being rigged.
Giuliani s lawyer said in a court filing that Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and because the company has not adequately justified its request for money damages.
The filing said Giuliani denies defaming Dominion, adding that the former New York City mayor would present a more forceful defense on the merits if his jurisdictional arguments are rejected by the judge in the District of Columbia assigned to the case.
