Crow Stands by Colorado's Election Integrity: "Safest System in the World"
At a recent Aurora town hall, Congressman Jason Crow didn't mince words when asked about election security. "We have the safest and most secure election system in the world," the 6th District representative told a packed room at the Aurora Municipal Center.
It's a bold claim, but Crow backs it with specifics — and a resume that commands attention on security matters. The former Army Ranger and Iraq/Afghanistan veteran sits on the House Intelligence and Armed Services Committees. He's seen compromised systems up close. Colorado's, he argues, isn't one of them.
Here's what that actually means for your ballot: paper trails on every vote. Risk-limiting audits that catch discrepancies before certification. A statewide system the Department of Homeland Security has held up as a national model since 2017. Same-day registration, ballot tracking via text, and drop boxes monitored by 24/7 video — all standard here.
Aurora voters have options. Drop your ballot at the 24-hour box outside the Aurora Central Library. Vote early at the Adams County Service Center on Chambers. Or show up Election Day at your precinct — polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Crow's office fields weekly questions about voter roll purges, machine hacking, and mail-ballot fraud. His message stays consistent: the system works because it's transparent, decentralized, and paper-based.
