The U.S. Department of Justice has requested extensive election data from Colorado, prompting alarm among voting experts. This unprecedented demand entails records from the 2024 elections and preservation of 2020 material, raising fears it might be a tactic to further disinformation linked to Trump's false election claims. Officials like Colorado’s Secretary of State express worry about the implications of such a broad request, describing it as an unwarranted and unusual action that could overwhelm the DOJ with too much information without clear purpose.
"What they're going to do with all this data, I don't know," said Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat. "But I'm sure they will use it to push their ridiculous disinformation and lies to the American public."
"It would be an enormous amount of information, and it's very unlikely the DOJ would even know what to do with all of that," said Becker, who now runs the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR). "This appears more like a fishing expedition than it does some kind of targeted investigation."
