Resident urges county to comply with federal election security requirements, raises claims about mail‑in voting
Summary
During public comment, resident Tracy Winder urged Moffat County to comply with federal election security directives and advocated for in‑person voting and paper ballots, while making several contested assertions about election integrity.
At the start of public comment on Sept. 9, resident Tracy Winder told the Moffat County Board of Commissioners she believes Colorado must comply with federal requirements tied to election security and urged officials to take action.
Winder said, referencing national political developments, that "Colorado has until September 21 to comply with president Trump's executive order regarding federal requirements to secure elections," and argued the county should move toward "in person voting on election day with a valid ID, paper ballots, transparency in vote counting and tabulation, harsh penalties for fraud, manipulation, and interference." She said, "If you can vote but cannot verify how your vote is counted, you do not live in a republic."
Winder made a series of broad claims about alleged manipulation of vote totals, audits being blocked, and whistleblowers being silenced. The remarks were delivered during the public comment portion of the board meeting; no board-directed action or formal response to the request was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The board did not take action on the matters raised during public comment during the Sept. 9 session.
