From the Pueblo Chieftain newspaper — www.chieftain.com/…, comes the following:
Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder Gilbert “Bo” Ortiz joined a bipartisan group of clerks from across the state in Denver on Sunday to call on critics who have claimed that Colorado’s election practices are fraudulent to back up their allegations with evidence.
………
County clerks and recorders said they are receiving an increasing number of emails, phone calls and office visits in recent months from constituents concerned about claims of fraudulent elections. These range from assertions that thousands of fake votes were cast in 2020 using the identities of deceased Coloradans, to claims that Colorado’s election servers reside in China.
……..
Ortiz said at least five different groups have become active in Pueblo in the past several months and have been working to mislead constituents and spread disinformation about issues including gun rights and elections practices.
“We got a lot of complaints from people saying that they voted, and these people were telling them that they hadn't voted,” Ortiz said. “So we had to prove to them, using our data and software, to show them that they voted.”
There is a lot more in this article. There is information on how armed people claiming to be from the Clerk and Recorders office have been going door to door, berating people who refuse to talk with them. There are also a couple of stories about how the office is trying to fight back against the groups.

What's new: To preempt more empty claims, Colorado county clerks gathered Sunday and demanded the organizers behind this week's rally show "clear and compelling evidence" of election fraud.
- The clerks — who run elections in Colorado's decentralized system — have received threats and bogus attacks from those who believe Trump won the 2020 election.
- Peters, a secretary of state candidate, produced reports she says show improprieties, but even her own election staff has refuted these claims with evidence.
Of note: Two clerks from prominent GOP strongholds — El Paso and Weld counties — joined with Denver's Paul Lopez and others to denounce the unprecedented attack on elections.
- Carly Koppes, the Weld clerk and president of the state clerks association, said election deniers should turn over evidence of fraud to law enforcement "so that investigations can be made that would either substantiate or refute your claims."

Anyway, I think you might appreciate the time spent seeing how the snowflakes keep at it in Colorado. If you want a headache, you can always go to the Mike Lindell rally at the Capitol in Denver tomorrow, just to hear the latest conspiracy theories. If you do go, please bring photos and stories about it to next Monday’s Open Thread.
