Speakers who identified themselves as volunteers with Unite for Freedom and allied groups urged the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners on July 22 to adopt a resolution calling for enhanced election verification, audits and chain‑of‑custody requirements for future elections.

Jamie West, who said she has lived in Arapahoe County 36 years and volunteers with Unite for Freedom, told the board that the group had analyzed official election files and that the results “reveal that not all votes counted were valid and accurate under the law” in the 2022 and 2024 general elections. She said the group had shared findings with state election officials and law enforcement and asked the board to place a county resolution on a future agenda.

Why it matters: Speakers framed their request as a local response to alleged data anomalies, citing national and state legal standards. They urged local officials to add measures such as voter‑eligibility verification, stronger ballot chain‑of‑custody, infrastructure compliance, and full preservation of ballots and election records for audits.

Who spoke: Scott Russell, who identified himself as a retired South Metro firefighter, read language for a resolution and cited U.S. Supreme Court precedent; Karen Tallentire, a volunteer with Unite for Freedom, listed recommended measures including FISMA compliance for voting systems and provisional balloting when eligibility is in question; Carol Tanner and Mila Shusterman urged commissioners to let the group present its data in a formal agenda item. Several speakers told the board the group planned a press conference and litigation at the federal level.

What commissioners said: The board received the comments in the public‑comment period and did not take any action or adopt a resolution at the July 22 meeting. Commissioners did not indicate a commitment to place the group's resolution on a future meeting agenda during the session.

Authorities and references raised by commenters: speakers cited Reynolds v. Sims (1964), the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, a referenced executive order titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” and the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA). Those were cited by volunteers as legal or policy benchmarks for auditing and compliance; county staff did not endorse or confirm the legal claims during the meeting.

Clarifying details: Speakers said an independent audit by Unite for Freedom reported hundreds of thousands of registration database “errors” and tens of thousands of votes they called “improperly counted.” The numbers were asserted publicly by the speakers but were not corroborated by county staff at the hearing.

The board did not vote on election‑related measures during the July 22 meeting; commenters asked to be placed on a future agenda so their data team could present in detail.
