Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold joined the National Association of Secretaries of State in a bipartisan coalition to denounce threats against election officials following the 2020 election.

State election officials throughout the country have faced threats of violence since the election, inspired by former President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the election results were fraudulent.

Trump’s Attorney General William Barr said the U.S. Justice Department uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 election.

“The (NASS) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, violence and threats of violence against election workers and calls on all leaders to denounce these dangerous occurrences,” the resolution reads.

The resolution was introduced by the Republican Secretary of State of Louisiana, Kyle Ardoin.

It was also co-sponsored by Democratic secretaries of Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico and Oregon and Republican secretaries of Alaska, Alabama, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Dakota, Nevada and Washington.

“The 2020 General Election was the safest and most secure in our nation’s history, yet diligent election officials have still been the target of threats from those who believe lies about election impropriety,” Griswold said.

“I’m proud to stand with my fellow Secretaries of State to condemn these malicious attempts to intimidate election officials.”

The resolution said the 2020 election was one of the most difficult in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and multiple natural disasters throughout the county. However, it reaffirmed the election was “fair, safe and accurate.”

Despite no evidence of voter fraud, Trump has made continuous claims since November that the election was stolen.

This has resulted in threats against election workers and their families, in addition to the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in which Trump supporters tried to overturn Trump’s defeat. Five people were killed in the riot.
