Voting season begins Friday in Colorado as ballots start hitting the mail, headed to the state’s 3.9 million active registered voters. A bipartisan group of county clerks gathered next to a ballot drop box in Highlands Ranch on Thursday morning to mark the occasion. They shared key election dates and deadlines and — amid still-prevalent election denialism and baseless conspiracy theories — emphasized that Colorado’s paper ballot-based election systems are accurate and secure. “Every voter should have confidence that we are running uniform processes in each Colorado county that produce accurate results — and that the security of each ballot and the tabulation process is our highest priority,” said Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Sheri Davis, a Republican. Davis urged voters to contact their local clerks if they have any questions about the security of the voting process.
