A (now-former) employee of the U.S. Postal Service in Mesa County, Colorado has just plead guilty to trying to rig the 2024 election.

64-year-old Vicki Stuart and her friend stole blank mail-in ballots and filled them out with forged signatures before casting them as actual votes in last year’s election.

Now, Stuart has entered a guilty plea deal to several charges related to ballot theft, identity theft, and forgery.

As part of the guilty plea deal, Vicki Stuart will face no more than 9 years in prison.

Her accomplice Sally Jane Maxedon’s court date is scheduled for June 25th.

They both claimed that they forged and cast illegitimate ballots in order to “test” the state’s signature verification systems…

I don’t know about you, but I’m not buying that story.

CPR News has more details on these ladies’ crime:

Stuart was charged in November with counts that included forgery, identity theft and attempts to influence a public servant. According to the arrest affidavit, Stuart and another woman stole more than a dozen ballots from Mesa County residents before they could be delivered to the intended voters. The goal, prosecutors said, was to test the state’s voting safeguards.

The scheme was uncovered when some voters alerted authorities after the Colorado Ballot tracking system informed them their ballots were being processed, even though they hadn’t received their ballots yet. State officials said three of the stolen ballots that were cast fraudulently did make it through the signature verification process and were counted as legitimate votes.

Now, the court did not specify which party or candidate these illegitimate votes were cast for.

But, if I had to put money on it, I know which one I’d guess…

Secure our elections!
