Executive orders to limit mail-in ballots, lawsuits over voter registration data, threats to funding and more have poured out of the White House leading up to the 2026 general election.
But despite the “noise,” Colorado election overseers and advocates say they are confident that this fall’s exercise in democracy won’t feature any particular hurdles for voters, or subversion of their intent. Ballots will still be mailed, voter rolls won’t face purging and workers will tally and honor the will of voters, they say — though officials in Colorado still expect a pressure campaign in the election’s fallout, especially if results don’t go President Donald Trump’s way.
“Really, it truly has been a case where we were expecting a lot of (nonsense around the election) and it has lived down to those expectations so far,” said Matt Crane, the Republican head of the Colorado County Clerks Association, using an expletive to describe the state of things.
