Multiple county residents urge hand counts and roll cleanups, citing duplicate registrations

Several residents used the Sept. 8 public‑comment period to press Arapahoe County elected officials on voter‑roll integrity and vote‑counting procedures.

Jamie West, a precinct leader in Centennial, said she found a neighbor listed with duplicate voter IDs across counties and provided a scorecard from a volunteer group she described as "Unite for Freedom Colorado." "I want to bring to your attention another example of voter role mismanagement and or corruption in our voter database here in Arapahoe County," West said. Lindy Curry, another precinct leader, described ballot mailings to people who had moved or died and urged in‑person voting with photo ID and precinct hand counts.

Mila Shusterman cited state statute language about audits and urged a return to observable chain‑of‑custody counting and an independent audit or recount when needed; she invited commissioners to a Sept. 11 hand‑count demonstration. Susan Baker raised concerns about ballots being mailed to people who no longer live locally and made assertions about voting machines; she urged the board to review election administration and roll maintenance.

Commissioners did not take action during public comment; the Clerk and Recorder's Office and county staff control election operations and the county's budget role is primarily funding; formal changes to election procedures would involve state law and the Secretary of State's systems. The presenters' claims about duplicate voters and machine vulnerabilities were made in public comment and were not adjudicated during the meeting.
