Statement from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold on Five Election Bills Rejected by the Colorado Legislature

Denver, March 29, 2021 - Below is a statement from Secretary of State Jena Griswold regarding HB21-1086, HB21-1088, HB21-1170, HB21-1176, and HB21-1053 which today were rejected by the Colorado Legislature.

“Across the nation, we are seeing a tsunami of legislation to suppress voters and spread the big lie about the 2020 election. Although Colorado is considered the nation’s gold standard for elections, there have been bills introduced to undermine confidence and suppress the votes of Coloradans. I applaud the legislators who rejected these types of election-related bills today. We must keep Colorado’s nationally renowned elections safe, secure, and accessible, and ensure that all eligible voters can have their voices heard.”
