Like the races across Colorado for Secretary of State, U.S. Senate, and County Clerk and Recorder, the race for the District 1 El Paso County Commissioner seat is being dominated by conspiracy theories around Dominion voting machines. Incumbent Commissioner Holly Williams is facing a challenge from “grassroots” Republican Lindsay Moore, who unsuccessfully ran for the Academy School District 20 Board of Education last year.
Flanked by the Gadsden flag and a patriotic balloon display, Rep. Dave Williams (R-Colorado Springs), Rep. Ron Hanks (R-Canon City), Todd Watkins, and Peter Lupia indulged in conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, George Soros, and the Canadian Trucker Convoy during a candidate forum moderated by El Paso County GOP Chair Vickie Tonkins Friday night in Peyton, northeast of Colorado Springs.
At a joint fundraiser in Colorado Springs Wednesday night, three Republican candidates for Colorado offices urged their supporters to unite under the cause of fraud in the 2020 election and to stir doubt in the upcoming elections — even if that means going against members of their own party.
