Grand Junction Daily Sentinel: “Even though the same voting systems were used to elect such Republicans as U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and state Rep. Matt Soper, some members of the GOP in Colorado are questioning the legitimacy of Tuesday’s Grand Junction City Council race. Those objectors are all supporters of the four losing council candidates: Mark McCallister, Jody Green, Greg Haitz and Kraig Andrews, who all ran on a similar limited government platform. ‘WE JUST LOST every single City Council Seat,’ Grand Junction resident Cindy Paschal Ficklin posted on her Facebook page the day of the city election. Ficklin is an active member of Stand for the Constitution Grand Junction who has expressed an interest in running for the Colorado Legislature.”

“‘Either we’ve already been overrun with Liberals … or CONSERVATIVES didn’t vote!,’ Ficklin added. ‘Or something else??’ That prompted Soper to post, ‘Were they using Dominion? This seems impossible!’ and, ‘Cindy Paschal Ficklin we need to request a scan of every ballot and do a manual recount.’ Not long after being questioned about those posts by The Daily Sentinel, the posts were deleted. Still, Soper defended writing them. ‘Many voters remain concerned about election integrity and whether the results are from a fair system,’ Soper said. ‘Dominion was at the center of the 2020 election complaints, and if Dominion was used, it would be an opportunity to have an audit with the public observing. If the results are verified, it helps restore confidence.'”
