Two articles in the Denver Times outline several instances of fraud discovered in the recent election in a precinct of Denver. While investigating allegations of ballot stuffing by Democrats, the Colorado Supreme Court discovered a second instance of fraud in ballot counting. Several Democrats were also charged and referred to a grand jury for intimidating Republican voters and preventing them from casting ballots.
