On Thursday’s edition of CNN’s “OutFront,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold tore down President Donald Trump’s false claims about voting by mail.

“President Trump is lying about vote by mail,” said Griswold. “Colorado has a very clean history of running great elections with vote by mail. We have safeguards in place to make sure we would catch any type of double-voting, including signature verification, rules about ballot collection, and a lot of other safeguards. But what is true is that there’s over 160,000 Americans who have died from COVID-19. It’s thousands of times more likely for an American to pass away because of the coronavirus than any type of fraud.”

“So, what do you do then if the USPS does not get the funding?” asked Burnett. “If he blocks that funding, then what do you do? Does that then put the sanctity of the election in question if it doesn’t get that funding?”


“Well, Colorado’s election model has built-in contingencies,” said Griswold. “We send out ballots three weeks before election day. And there’s hundreds of mail ballot dropboxes across the state … [but] I will tell you the president is going to all lengths to try to suppress the vote. The RNC is suing in Pennsylvania about dropboxes. It doesn’t matter what you do — they are coming with a lawsuit and lies to try to suppress turnout in November.”

2. "Mr. Trump do you regret all the lies you've told the American people the last 3 1/2 years?"

There's that pesky question again!

He's making it so.

misinformation about voting by mail.

5. I will make Hercules look like a weakling...

Socrates like an idiot...and Michael Jordan like a weak 10yr.old playin' pick-up...

IF ANYONE GETS IN MY WAY OF VOTING THIS YEAR.....

I will get up at midnight and walk in my mail-in ballot if that's what it takes.

I will highjack a freight train and drive to the Adams County seat and hand my ballot to the
County Commissioner myself....if that's what it takes to vote this year.

T-rump does not know how mad he has made everyone...He has poked the bear for long enough
Now wake up grizzlies...time maul some repug's.
