Colorado Secretary of State Confronts Trump and GOP Amid Threats and Legal Challenges
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has accused Donald Trump and the GOP of inciting a wave of violent threats against election workers, including herself, by not condemning rhetoric of violence and spreading baseless election fraud conspiracies. Griswold, who has faced numerous threats following her involvement in a lawsuit that resulted in Trump's ineligibility for Colorado's primary ballot, highlighted the impact of such threats on election workers, leading to a significant number of retirements and resignations. Trump's targeting of public officials on social media has been linked to subsequent threats and intimidation, as seen with Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows after Trump's disqualification from the state's ballot.
