Trump Swiftly Fact Checked By Local Reporter For False Claim Casting Doubt On Integrity of Colorado’s Elections

Veteran local Colorado news anchor Kyle Clark dropped a fact check on former President Donald Trump’s claims that Democrats instituted mail-in voting in the state to favor their chances of winning elections.

“Great visit to Montana and Wyoming, where I am leading BIG, and Colorado, whose Radical Left Governor has gone to all Mail-In Voting, making the State a POLITICAL CESSPOOL where, even if you were leading, it would make no difference! Colorado is run by the Lunatic Left that led the effort, overturned by the United States Supreme Court, to keep me off the ballot,” raged Trump on his Truth Social platform, adding :

For that reason alone, Colorado will have A BIG TRUMP VOTE! Anyway, the two day visit raised $28,000,000 for our very successful Presidential Campaign. Thank you to a truly beautiful part of the World!

Clark, who anchors Colorado’s 9News, replied to Trump on X, writing, “Trump’s claim is false. Colorado’s universal mail-in voting began in 2013, years before the current governor took office. It was a bipartisan initiative implemented by a Republican Secretary of State.”

An X user replied to Clark, “It’s not false that mail in voting is more susceptible to fraud and corruption. An undeniable fact.”

Clark replied , “The conservative Heritage Foundation has tracked 15 cases of voter fraud in Colorado in a decade of mail-in balloting. The two most prominent cases were a former GOP chair and a man suspected of killing his wife who admitted casting her ballot for Trump.”

Trump lost Colorado in 2020 to Joe Biden by some 13 points and almost half a million votes in the former swing state that has moved solidly into the Democratic column in recent elections.
