Deep divides have developed between the parties around how elections should be run, and even whether the system can be trusted. Two years after President Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 election based on meritless claims of election fraud, the issue of election integrity is likely to be front and center in this race.

Tina Peters — Peters is in her first term as Mesa County’s Clerk and Recorder. The former businesswoman was a political newcomer when she ran successfully on a platform of reopening shuttered DMV offices. As Clerk and Recorder, Peters administers elections at the county level. Her work on those elections have led to controversies.The discovery of 574 uncollected ballots after the 2019 election spurred an unsuccessful recall effort against her. Earlier this year, Peters was indicted on felony charges for her role in an alleged scheme to breach the security of Mesa County’s election equipment in the name of uncovering evidence of fraud in the 2020 election. The breach led to claims by election conspiracy theorists about what they found on those hard drives — those have since been debunked.

Pam Anderson — Anderson, a former two-term Jefferson County Clerk and past head of the Colorado County Clerks Association, is the only certified election official in the GOP primary.

She opposes Colorado’s 2019 expansion of automatic voter registration, which Anderson says has weakened the integrity of Colorado’s voter rolls, and is critical of a recent law change that requires clerks to keep sending ballots to voters who haven’t participated in multiple recent elections. Anderson has raised $107,000 for her campaign.
