Colo. Sec. Of State: Americans Need to Send a ‘Strong Message’ to Trump and Far Right This November

EXCERPT:

GRISWOLD: “Well, that’s definitely a big question. I think, in part, it’s that threats against election officials largely aren’t taken seriously. Many of us have been told that the threats against us are not serious. We’ve had to fight continuously for the last several years for adequate security. And you just have to look at the DoJ’s track record. Their special unit on threats to election workers have only prosecuted 20 cases since 2021. So, to an extent, election officials are at the front line by ourselves. The DoJ, state and federal officials need to take this much more seriously. The other side of this is, this is Trump’s tactic. This is something that works for Trump and the far right. And I think Americans need to send them a strong message this November at the ballot box.”
