Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser on Tuesday announced his office has charged six people for allegedly submitting petitions with forged signatures in an attempt to get a 2022 Republican Congressional candidate on the ballot. The six individuals — Alex Joseph, Terris Kintchen, Patrick Rimpel, Jordahni Rimpel, Aliyah Moss and Diana Watt — were paid circulators for Grassfire, LLC, a Wyoming-based professional petitioning firm, the attorney general’s office said in a news release. Prosecutors charged the six circulators with one count each of attempt to influence a public servant — a class four felony — and one count of perjury, a misdemeanor. The firm, which is now defunct, was hired last year by the Carl Andersen campaign, a Republican candidate running for Colorado’s 7th Congressional District, a redistricted area anchored by Jefferson County.
