    6-29-26 *INTERVIEW* Jimmy with Matt Crane Colorado County Clerks Association

    In a recent court ruling, a federal judge struck down a crucial component of President Trump's executive order that aimed to restrict mail voting, calling it "unlawful, null, and void." This decision has significant implications for the upcoming elections, particularly in states like Colorado, where mail voting is universal. As the executive director of the Colorado County Clerks Association, Matt Crane joins the show to break down the details of this ruling and what it means for Colorado's elections. The executive order in question would have required states to hand over their voter registration lists to the US Postal Service, which many see as an overreach of federal authority. Matt Crane explains that this would have been a major problem for Colorado, as the state's voter registration list is constantly changing due to people moving or updating their information. He also highlights the importance of signature verification on ballots, which Colorado takes seriously, and notes that the state's voter registration management is rated among the best in the country. Matt Crane also addresses the recent controversy surrounding Tina Peters, a former county clerk who has been making claims about election fraud. He sets the record straight, pointing out that Peters never received her election certification and that there were issues with ballot counting in her previous election. Crane emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in ensuring the accuracy of voter information and encourages listeners to take a closer look at the facts. Tune in to this episode to hear Matt Crane's expert analysis of the court ruling and its implications for Colorado's elections. He shares his insights on the importance of state-level election management and the need to protect the integrity of the electoral process.
