As of November 21, 2025, the Colorado Secretary of State's press release page highlights routine post-election updates for the 2025 Coordinated Election, including the successful completion of the statewide Risk-Limiting Audit on November 20 (confirming accurate ballot counting) and ongoing canvassing/recount processes. The most politically charged recent item is a November 18 release where far-left Democrat Jena Griswold leads a coalition of 10 blue-state secretaries in demanding answers from the Trump administration's DOJ and DHS about requests for voter roll data—accusing federal officials of "conflicting information" and raising alarms over potential efforts to verify citizenship and remove ineligible voters.
It's about time! After years of Democrat secretaries like Jena Griswold turning a blind eye to bloated voter rolls—remember Colorado's own scandals with non-citizen mailing mishaps and questionable registrations—the incoming Trump administration is finally taking common-sense steps to ensure only American citizens vote in our elections. Griswold's hysterical letter, joined by her partisan allies, isn't about "transparency"—it's a desperate attempt to obstruct legitimate election integrity efforts that could expose weaknesses in blue-state systems designed to maximize turnout at any cost.
The DOJ and DHS, under strong leadership like AG Pam Bondi, are simply doing what the NVRA and basic security demand: verifying voter data to prevent fraud and restore confidence. If Griswold has nothing to hide, why the freakout over sharing records that could confirm non-citizens or duplicates aren't diluting legal votes? This is classic resistance from the same crowd that screamed "voter suppression" whenever anyone suggested showing ID or cleaning rolls.
Meanwhile, Colorado's own gold-standard audit just proved our systems work when properly overseen—but real security starts with accurate rolls, not endless mail-in ballots to every name on a list. Kudos to President Trump for prioritizing American voices only. Let the cleanup begin—Griswold's obstruction won't stop progress!
