Colorado Republicans Object to Certification of Election Results After Democrats Posted Voting System Passwords Online
A group of Colorado Republicans objected to the certification of the state’s 2024 election results.
The effort was supported by six Republicans and led by state Reps. Ken DeGraaf and Scott Bottoms of Colorado Springs who argued that the results may have been compromised by the posting of voting system passwords online.
“I have no proof that any of those passwords were used to do anything, nobody else has proof of that,” Bottoms said in a speech on the House floor Wednesday.
“But I think it would be naïve to assume that one person did not change at least one vote.”
They also demanded an investigation into Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, an ambitious Democrat who illegally tried to prevent Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s presidential ballot and who was ultimately responsible for the password leak.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit back in October, Griswold’s office leaked the passwords to voting systems in 63 out of the state’s 64 counties on a hidden tab of a spreadsheet on the Secretary of State’s website. The leaked passwords were posted online for several days.
Following the password breach, the Trump campaign requested a temporary halt in the processing of mail-in ballots in order to “guarantee that the election equipment in those counties is secure” and restore public trust.

However, these demands were unsuccessful, and the counting carried on regardless.
Democrats, meanwhile, denounced the objections as “unwarranted and unprecedented” and accused them of trying to undermine the election results.
“Opposition to this motion is quite frankly dangerous to our democracy,” said Democratic Rep. Andrew Boesenecker of Fort Collins.
“We’ve seen what happened when Congress went down this path four years ago and elected officials refused to certify results.”
According to the official election results, Kamala Harris outperformed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign by nearly five points, winning 54 percent of the vote compared to 43 percent for Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, her vote tally was said to be down around 2.5 percent on Joe Biden’s performance in 2020.
Amid these seemingly comfortable margins, Colorado is now considered to be a reliably blue state, with Democrats holding the governorship, Secretary of State, and both Senate seats. This is all thanks to mail-in voting and far-left state leaders.
Colorado is one of four states, including California, Oregon, and Washington, that took weeks to finish their vote counting after Election Day. These states all use mail-in voting. And these states all have Democrats in charge for years now. Imagine that?
Its last statewide elected Republican was Senator Cory Gardner, who lost his seat in the 2020 election cycle.
The last Republican to win the state in a presidential election was George W. Bush in 2004, who defeated his opponent John Kerry by nearly a five point margin.
