A group of county clerks and commissioners is suing Colorado’s Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, for her alleged role in the deleting and writing-over of electronic election records.

Filed in Denver County District Court in November 2021, the suit has survived one motion to dismiss by Griswold and is facing another.
