COUNTRY HEAD TO THE POLLS, CASTING BALLOTS IN GUBERNATORIAL AND STATE LEGISLATIVE CONTESTS. BUT THE JOB OF ADMINISTERING THE VOTE HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY FOLLOWING FALSE CLAIMS OF ELECTION FRAUD DRIVEN BY FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. SOME OFFICIALS SAY THEY바카라 게임 웹사이트�VE RECEIVED DEATH THREATS ONLINE ABUSE AND HARASSMENT AND NOW MORE THAN 10% SAY THEY ARE VERY LIKELY OR SOMEWHAT LIKELY TO RESIGN BEFORE NOVEMBER 20TH, 24. IN COLORADO, MORE THAN A THIRD OF THE ADMINISTRATORS HAVE EITHER ALREADY QUIT OR LEFT THEIR JOBS BECAUSE OF TERM LIMITS. AND THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S LANDED JEFFERSON COUNTY, COLORADO, WITH A NEW COUNTY CLERK, AMANDA GONZALEZ REPRESENTS A LOT OF FIRSTS. FIRST LATINA, FIRST QUEER PERSON AND THE YOUNGEST CLERK EVER ELECTED IN THE COUNTY. GOOD MORNING, MISS AMANDA. GOOD MORNING. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD. HOW바카라 게임 웹사이트�S IT GOING? MY BACKGROUND IS AS AN ELECTION ATTORNEY IN 2018 AND 2020, I RAN THE STATE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S LARGEST NONPARTISAN ELECTION PROTECTION EFFORT AND SAW THE IMPORTANCE AND THE POWER OF PUBLIC POLICY. AND I REALLY WANTED TO BE THE PERSON THAT WAS ENSURING THAT WE WERE PROTECTING EVERYONE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S RIGHT TO VOTE. I, MYRNA SMITH, DO SWEAR WHEN I THINK ABOUT DEMOCRACY, IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S REALLY THE MANIFESTATION VERSION OF OUR HOPE AND OPTIMISM, RIGHT? WHEN YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE VOTING, YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE HAVING A SAY IN WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE OF YOUR COMMUNITY. IF THEY NOW LIVE IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, HEARING THINGS LIKE WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�VE LOST 300 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AMONG ELECTION ADMINISTRATORS IS SCARY. MAYBE THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S NOT QUITE THE RIGHT MEASUREMENT OF WHETHER OR NOT AN ELECTION IS IN GOOD HANDS. AN ELECTION IS IN GOOD HANDS. IF YOUR ELECTION OFFICIAL IS UPHOLDING THE CORE VALUES OF DEMOCRACY, THESE ARE PARTIZAN POSITIONS. I바카라 게임 웹사이트�M ELECTED AS A DEMOCRAT, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S A NONPARTISAN ROLE AND ALMOST UNIVERSALLY, REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION, PEOPLE ARE LIKE, YES, OUR DEMOCRACY IS IMPORTANT. WE NEED TO PROTECT IT. I COME IN WITH A LOT OF POLICY BACKGROUND, A LOT OF ORGANIZING AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT BACKGROUND, BUT OF COURSE, I바카라 게임 웹사이트�VE NEVER BEEN THE PERSON WHO ADMINISTERS AN ELECTION. I HOW ARE YOU THERE ARE 64 COUNTY CLERKS THROUGHOUT COLORADO AND MANY OF US ARE NEW AND WE BELONG TO A COUNTY CLERKS ASSOCIATION THAT SOME OF WHAT THEY DO IS EDUCATION SHANE AND THEY HAVE CREATED THESE FORMAL MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS OF PARTNERS. A NEWER CLERK WITH SOMEBODY THAT HAD BEEN IN THE ROLE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, YOU HAVE THAT PEER TO PEER RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEBODY. IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S IMMENSELY HELPFUL BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH SOME OF US WERE WITHIN THE OFFICE OR HAVE THAT ELECTIONS BACKGROUND, AND IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S HELPFUL TO SAY, OH, YOU KNOW, THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION, HOW DO YOU SEE THIS IMPACTING CLERKS? I WAS ASSIGNED TO CLERK FITZPATRICK UP IN BOULDER, WHO IS A GENIUS. I바카라 게임 웹사이트�M SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE HER IN MY CORNER IN 2019. NO ONE KNEW WHAT A COUNTY CLERK WAS OR WHAT WE DID, AND WE LARGELY RAN KIND OF BEHIND THE SCENES SINCE 2020. EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT A COUNTY CLERK IS AND WHAT THEY DO. AND SO WITH THAT HAS BROUGHT A LOT OF SUPPORT. THERE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S ALSO A LOT OF SCRUTINY ON OUR PROCESS. IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE ARE NERVOUS ABOUT 2024, BUT I ALSO DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T WANT TO CATASTROPHIZE. I THINK THAT PEOPLE EXPECTED 20, 22 TO BE A LITTLE MORE CHAOTIC THAN IT WAS. AND WE HAD, BY MOST MEASURES, A PRETTY SMOOTH ELECTION. WE HAVE A CAREER STAFF THAT HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND ARE WELL PREPARED. I RAN FOR THIS THIS OFFICE BECAUSE I바카라 게임 웹사이트�M A DEMOCRACY DEFENDER, BUT I DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T STAND ALONE HERE. I바카라 게임 웹사이트�M SEEING PEOPLE THAT I KNOW JUST LIKE REALLY CARE ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY AND THESE SYSTEMS AND FAIRNESS AND EQUITY THE WAY I DO, WHICH FEELS PRETTY DARN GOOD. AND I THINK TH
