The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office is investigating the makeup of Boulder County’s election judge teams after allegations that county officials stacked the ranks of mail-in ballot watchers with Democrats, including some posing as Republicans.
Boulder County GOP Chairwoman Ellyn Hilliard said she witnessed some election judges approving signatures on mail-in ballots that did not match those of the voters.
Boulder County officials, claim they did all they could to recruit Republicans to serve as election judges, but, according to them, very few volunteered, and all signatures that are questionable are thoroughly reviewed.
Democrats Caught Posing as Republican Election Judges in Colorado!
The Colorado Secretary of State's Office is investigating the makeup of Boulder County's election judge teams after allegations that county officials stacked the ranks of mail-in ballot watchers with Democrats, including some posing as Republicans.
Boulder County GOP Chairwoman Ellyn Hilliard is recruiting new election judges because, she said, the county clerk's office failed to assemble a bipartisan team to verify signatures on mail-in ballots for the Nov. 4 election.
"I'm sorry," Hilliard said at one point, tears welling up in her eyes. "I get emotional because this is how they win."

She said her office doesn't have evidence that "anybody did anything intentionally."

CLEARLY indicating she thinks Democrats intentionally steal elections. And in the updated link:

Molly Tayer, Boulder County elections coordinator, said that, following her party's caucus in the spring, Hilliard provided a list of people who were willing to serve as election judges, but few of them agreed to do so when contacted about training for the positions as the election approached.
"Her original list was 95, and only five (of those) have joined this year's workforce," Tayer said. "We performed repeated outreach to the Republicans' list: emails, notes, calls. We exhausted the list and as much as we reached out to them, people did not come. After that, we just moved on to getting people to do this work."
She had not heard the allegations of Democrats posing as Republicans until Tuesday.
Tayer said about 245 people are working as election judges and poll watchers at the county's voter service centers and mail ballot dropoff locations. Of those, about 100 are registered Democrats, and roughly 78 are Republicans, she said. The rest are either unaffiliated or Green Party voters.
"We're on the same side. We both want bipartisan election judges working on our processes together," Tayer said of Hilliard's complaint. "We told her that if she could find people from her caucus list that wanted to do the work, she could bring those people on, and we thanked her very much for doing that."

Well it's like when a dog tramples through fresh concrete.
Somebody always has to trowel over the footprints to smooth it out again.
I bet there's Republicans posing as Democrats too somewhere.
They're all jealous when elections near.
Many are trembling with anticipation.

Her assumption is EVERYONE is aware of "Chicago-style" politics is inflicted upon every State (and the World).
Bad assumption?
Staiert said state statute mandates that the ranks of election judges be equally split between Democrats and Republicans appointed by the party chair in their county. She said the law does provide leeway for county clerks' offices to appoint judges who are unaffiliated or from other parties if they have "made reasonable efforts" to appoint people from the original lists.
