Statement from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold on Congress Certifying the 2020 Electoral Count
Denver, January 6, 2021 – Below is a statement from Secretary of State Jena Griswold regarding the role of the United States Congress in certifying the electoral vote count for the 2020 General Election:
“American voters, not DC politicians, are responsible for choosing the President of the United States. Suggestions that the Vice President or a member of Congress could unilaterally change the electoral results--which the states have already certified--are incorrect, undemocratic, and aim to disenfranchise Americans voters. Throughout history, America has endured many threats to our democracy, and our democracy will continue to prevail.”
