JOINT RELEASE: Willford, Wallace Commend SCOTUS Decision to Protect Mail-in Voting

DENVER, CO –
Chair of the House State, Civic & Veterans Affairs Committee Representative Jenny Willford, and Chair of the Senate State, Veterans & Military Affairs Senator Katie Wallace, celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court's
rejection
of President Trump's plan to tamper with mail-in voting ahead of the midterm election.
Representative Willford and Senator Wallace:
“Our democracy depends on our ability to vote without interference, and the latest SCOTUS decision is something to celebrate. This failed attempt by the Trump Administration would have made it harder for Coloradans to cast their ballot, but voters can rest assured knowing that our midterm election, just like every election in Colorado, will be free, fair and transparent.
“In Colorado, we’ve taken concrete steps to improve and safeguard our gold-standard election system and ensure that mail-in voting is safe, secure and accessible to all voters. Universal vote-by-mail in Colorado has consistently resulted in one of the nation’s highest voter turnout rates, and more than 90-percent of Colorado voters vote by mail. We will always protect and uphold your Constitutional right to vote.”
