(Colorado Times Recorder) Produced by End Citizens United // Let America Vote Action Fund, which self-describes as “a leading anti-corruption and voting rights group with over four million members nationwide,” the scorecard assesses democracy health in all 50 states, putting Colorado ahead of Washington, Maine, California, and Hawaii in the top five. Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Indiana are bottom five. “It matters who’s in charge of elections,” Action Fund Director Adam Smith told the Colorado Times Recorder. “And in Colorado, fortunately, you have folks like [Secretary of State] Jena Griswold and [Attorney General] Phil Weiser who aren’t election conspiracy theorists. They are actively working to protect and expand voting access and guard against election deniers… “While Lauren Boebert spreads all kinds of conspiracy theories, she is fortunately not in charge of deciding what the election rules in Colorado are,” Smith added.
