“This is an extraordinary imposition of federal power over states’ election processes that, if it is accepted by the states in this context, will be absolutely used by Democrats in another context,” said David Becker, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Election Innovation and Research, who worked in the Justice Department’s voting section under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment on the activities. The White House did not answer questions about whether it was working with Jeff Small, the operative who has been contacting Colorado clerks, but said the president is committed to helping states ensure voters on the rolls are citizens.
Republican election officials in Colorado fielded calls and messages last week from Small, a consultant who has worked for members of Congress, most recently serving as chief of staff to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado). Small told more than half a dozen GOP county clerks by phone or text that he was working with the Trump administration to ensure the integrity of elections and to advance Trump’s election agenda, county officials told The Washington Post.
“To me, it felt like they were wanting to intervene before 2026,” said Justin Grantham, the Republican clerk in Fremont County.
Five other Republican clerks raised similar concerns.
“That’s a hard stop for me,” said Carly Koppes, a Republican clerk in Weld County, who said she rejected Small’s overtures to allow a federal inspection. “Nobody gets access to my voting equipment, for security reasons.”
