Eric Coomer has been living in hiding since one week after the 2020 presidential election ended.
He’s director of product strategy and security for Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems, which has found itself at the center of numerous conspiracy theories about election theft. President Donald Trump has falsely claimed that Dominion machines fraudulently switched votes to President-elect Joe Biden. And some of Trump s supporters have come to focus on Coomer as the supposed mastermind behind a plot to steal the election.
After getting a firm “no” from Speaker of the House KC Becker on Monday, House Republicans aren’t giving up on their efforts to find evidence of election irregularities.
Legislative Audit Committee chairwoman Rep. Lori Saine, a Dacono Republican, has scheduled a special meeting of the committee next Tuesday, Dec. 15 at 10 a.m., to examine questions around election integrity.
A news release from Saine and 19 other current House Republicans said that due to “increasing calls from constituents across the state to perform an audit of Colorado’s election systems, and the recent request denial of lawmakers seeking transparency through a special committee on election integrity, the Legislative Audit Committee will hold a special hearing next week to hear testimony and learn from expert witnesses regarding the integrity of Colorado’s election processes during the 2020 General Election, and related concerns surrounding Dominion Voting Systems.”
