We have heard much of election fraud lately. Followed by civil war if things don’t turn out well for Donald Trump. I am a registered Democrat. Our county clerk running our election is Tiffany Parker, a registered Republican. I am completely unconcerned about voter fraud in La Plata County as a real and unaddressed threat. I am completely confident Parker will run a fair election. She has demonstrated that she is a professional.

I am also convinced that voter fraud, as a significant issue, is not really a concern in the U.S. today. Ask Parker. It would have to be a pretty messed up place where our locally managed elections in the U.S. today are susceptible to real corruption that could sway an election.

People, this is a dangerous and false accusation flying around. Don’t go there with no factual basis.
