Manipulation 213 00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:53,801 of voting is not allowed. There are two 214 00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:56,100 points of contention. The original vote 215 00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:59,100 shows manipulation. I'm not talking 216 00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:01,100 about that today. The second point is 217 00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:04,601 manipulation of the cast a vote 218 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:08,601 records, changed and posted in late 219 00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:12,100 march 2025. Why are they changing the 220 00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:15,601 votes in 2025? This without notice to 221 00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:17,100 the voters. This without verification 222 00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:19,100 and approval of citizen oversight. This 223 00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:23,100 with the knowledge I would guess clerk 224 00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:27,100 john lopez unless she did not approve 225 00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:28,100 the changes. This change also had to be 226 00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:32,201 uploaded on a state level, meaning the 227 00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:36,100 secretary of state most likely also had 228 00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:37,100 knowledge this happened. It is the 229 00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:40,100 second piece I'm concerned about, 230 00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:46,601 manipulation of the crb cvr in 2020 231 00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:50,601 that manipulated in 2025 is a blatant 232 00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:52,100 attempt of the cover-up. Were you 233 00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:54,100 commissioners aware of this was 234 00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:57,601 happening? When did you become aware? 235 00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:00,100 did you act? The changelings of the 236 00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:02,100 records is a city special district 237 00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,601 county state and national issue. Were 238 00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:12,100 these entities notified? I'd like 239 00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:15,100 arapahoe county commissioners to ask 240 00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:16,100 for clerk lopez resignation, to request 241 00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:19,100 the department of justice on the fbi to 242 00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:22,100 step in, this cannot be done in 243 00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:25,601 colorado because the sos might be 244 00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:27,100 complicit. Arapahoe county is part of a 245 00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:31,201 lawsuit in one additional state. I also 246 00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:35,100 want you to protect our records in 247 00:12:35,100 --> 00:12:37,100 place including all original ballots 248 00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:39,401 >> your time is up 249 00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:45,201 >> I would also ask the property tax 250 00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:48,100 differences since 2020 election to be 251 00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:51,100 refunded to property owners if this is 252 00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:52,100 upheld. Thank you 253 00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:56,100 >> thank you very much. Next we have 254 00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:58,100 rich donahue 255 00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:06,401 >> hello, rich donahue [indiscernible] 256 00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:12,801 aurora.

So we could go over and come up 260 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:26,100 with the graphs and see what happened 261 00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:28,100 in 2020 because it was so 262 00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:32,100 controversial. We found a lot of things 263 00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:35,100 that have been beaten up by attorneys 264 00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:39,801 and staff on grounds that they come up 265 00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:45,100 with. What's happened lately, in march 266 00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:49,201 the cast vote records on the internet 267 00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:53,100 access website got changed.

It seems to be tied 270 00:13:56,100 --> 00:14:00,201 in with all sorts of manipulation going 271 00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:04,100 on, something that needs to be looked 272 00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:08,801 at, more than just us citizens. Most of 273 00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:14,201 the record changes, there are notes of 274 00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:19,201 some experts that noted it, found the 275 00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:22,100 mistakes, they admitted there were 276 00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:25,100 mistakes in the cast vote records. If 277 00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:27,100 they were certified, found mistakes, 278 00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:32,401 and the person noted on that is out of 279 00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:35,100 state, out of colorado, what are they 280 00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:37,100 doing with our cast vote records? It 281 00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:41,801 seems to be a bigger picture going on. 282 00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:49,100 [indiscernible] move forward on this, 283 00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:54,100 we need to get this looked into.

My name 614 00:32:57,100 --> 00:33:00,601 is steve lowery district 1, a resident 615 00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:06,100 for 45 years. I am a professional 616 00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:09,100 engineer, I manage contracts for 40 617 00:33:10,100 --> 00:33:13,100 years. To essential factors and 618 00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:16,100 successful contracting and integrity of 619 00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:19,100 all parties involved. In the cities 620 00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,401 2023 grant application to arapahoe 621 00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,100 county question number six relates to 622 00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:27,100 evidence of a transparent public 623 00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:32,100 process. The cities response mentions 624 00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:35,601 three events neglects to mention a 625 00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:38,100 number of participants or the results 626 00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:41,100 in fact most of the members of the 627 00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:44,601 public that did participate, did not 628 00:33:47,100 --> 00:33:49,100 want the concrete trail. In a public 629 00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:52,601 event in july 2023, with a concrete 630 00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:56,100 trail shown, only eight people responded 631 00:33:56,100 --> 00:34:00,100 and they did not want the concrete 632 00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:04,201 trail. This is hardly a robust public 633 00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:06,100 process. More importantly, the city 634 00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:09,601 stated in the application quote, once 635 00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:12,100 design reaches 90 percent another round 636 00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,100 of public engagement will occur before 637 00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:17,601 the design is finalized unquote. The 638 00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:22,601 city never did this public engagement. 639 00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:26,601 at the staff recent presentation the 640 00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:29,100 city council, the engineer responsible 641 00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:32,601 called this a quote oversight unquote 642 00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:37,100 and indicated the public could look at 643 00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:40,100 the website. However the website only 644 00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:42,100 shows a schematic of the project, and 645 00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:45,601 not the 90 percent design. Such a 646 00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:52,100 responses does not constitute public 647 00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:56,100 engagement. Based on polls of over 200 648 00:34:56,100 --> 00:35:00,100 members of the public we have conducted 649 00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:02,100 this year, it is clear have the public 650 00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:05,100 engagement of 90 percent design happened 651 00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:09,100 it would show overwhelming rejection 652 00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:11,100 of the 16 foot wide concrete trail. By 653 00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:14,100 not carrying out the public engagement, 654 00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:18,201 we believe the city has breached the 655 00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:22,100 [indiscernible]. To extend the ida with 656 00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:25,601 no justification to reimburse the city. 657 00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:30,100 what happens now? The city has deprived 658 00:35:30,100 --> 00:35:33,601 hundreds of walkers and runners access 659 00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:37,100 to a soft trail. The iga extended, we 660 00:35:37,100 --> 00:35:41,201 ask the county along with other funders 661 00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:44,100 to have a detached four or five foot 662 00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,100 wide pressure trail to restore 663 00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:52,100 accessibility. [indiscernible] been 664 00:35:53,100 --> 00:35:57,801 modified to show how the trail could be 665 00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:00,100 accommodated [indiscernible] the simple 666 00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:02,100 solution to mitigate the reputation or 667 00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:06,801 risk the county will face when the all 668 00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:10,100 concrete trail is constructed 669 00:36:10,100 --> 00:36:11,100 >> thank you 670 00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:14,601 >> you are the best. Everybody else 671 00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:18,100 turn your alarms off. I don't think 672 00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:22,801 I've ever seen that but I appreciate it 673 00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:25,100 and I'm pretty sure I'm going to do 674 00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:26,100 that when I have to speak so thank you 675 00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:30,100 very very much mr. Lowery for taking 676 00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:33,601 that extra step. Oh really? [speaker 677 00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:36,100 off mic] 678 00:36:36,100 --> 00:36:39,601 >> thank you so much for that. 679 00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:46,100 >> mila shusterman 680 00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:49,100 >> am I close? I'm about to find out 681 00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:51,401 >> I love your pin 682 00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:57,201 >> thank you. You were very good. I 683 00:36:59,100 --> 00:37:02,601 live in arapahoe county and district 2 684 00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:10,201 for 25 years. We just had a memorial 685 00:37:11,100 --> 00:37:14,100 day yesterday. In memory of all who 686 00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:18,201 passed, and fight for our republic, I 687 00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:22,100 speak to today. I was here in front of 688 00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:24,100 you with a group of volunteers from the 689 00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:27,100 united [indiscernible] americans a year 690 00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:30,601 ago. We presented the resolution where 691 00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:35,100 you could find staggering colorado 692 00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:38,100 election data that raised concerns 693 00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:42,201 about the validity of our elections. We 694 00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:49,401 asked you to look into it and sign the 695 00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:52,100 resolution. It raised our concerns but 696 00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:56,801 it did not seem to raise yours. Despite 697 00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:04,601 numerous calls and emails, to my 698 00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:10,100 commissioners and to all of you, we 699 00:38:10,100 --> 00:38:14,801 have never heard back from you on this 700 00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:19,201 issue. Well, now we have a scorecard 701 00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:23,100 for the recent 2024 general elections. 702 00:38:27,100 --> 00:38:29,401 highly qualified professionals worked 703 00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:34,801 on this data, the numbers are not any 704 00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:39,100 better than 2022. I passed this to you 705 00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:43,100 so you can check. Please look at the 706 00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:46,100 numbers in the scorecard I provided. 707 00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:49,601 our elections are not valid simply 708 00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:54,100 because they don't adhere to the state 709 00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:57,601 and federal election laws and the 710 00:38:58,100 --> 00:38:59,100 constitution. I believe it is your 711 00:38:59,100 --> 00:39:03,201 responsibility to hear us and look into 712 00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:05,100 it before you approve [indiscernible] 713 00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:09,201 to the clerk and recorder, yet this 714 00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:13,100 budget gets approved in our legitimate 715 00:39:13,100 --> 00:39:15,100 concerns are ignored. In the last 716 00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:18,100 couple of weeks, arapahoe county 717 00:39:18,100 --> 00:39:21,100 elections made the national news, 2020 718 00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:30,100 cvr file was altered. Is that going to 719 00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:33,601 be ignored also? We demand fully 720 00:39:37,100 --> 00:39:39,100 transparent and fair elections that 721 00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:43,801 follow the law.

I'm going to bring 751 00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:43,100 some truth because I think a lot of us 752 00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:46,100 are lacking truth and that's all that 753 00:41:46,100 --> 00:41:50,801 matters here and I'm tired of the lies 754 00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:56,100 and the deception. I'm going to offer a 755 00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:57,100 lot of truth. I'm also going to offer 756 00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,100 to spend some time with each and every 757 00:41:59,100 --> 00:42:02,601 one of you, either together or 758 00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:04,100 individually, because I truly believe 759 00:42:04,100 --> 00:42:07,601 everyone deserves to know the truth 760 00:42:10,100 --> 00:42:12,100 before they act. It's very important 761 00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:14,100 because peoples actions are going to be 762 00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:17,100 looked at very carefully by a whole lot 763 00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:20,100 of people, not just the citizens in 764 00:42:20,100 --> 00:42:23,100 arapahoe county, but in the state of 765 00:42:23,100 --> 00:42:26,100 colorado and nationally. And other 766 00:42:27,100 --> 00:42:31,201 entities as well. I spent 24 seven for 767 00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:35,100 the past five years studying election 768 00:42:35,100 --> 00:42:37,100 technology processes and systems. It's 769 00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:39,100 very apparent there are a lot of lies 770 00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:42,100 being told by a lot of people. Also a 771 00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:46,100 lot of people are pretty ignorant, some 772 00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:47,100 of them purposely ignorant, because 773 00:42:47,100 --> 00:42:51,201 they think it will protect them, it's 774 00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:56,100 not. Article 4 section 4 of the 775 00:42:56,100 --> 00:42:58,100 constitution states the united states 776 00:42:58,100 --> 00:43:00,100 guaranteed every citizen every state in 777 00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:03,601 the union and republican form of 778 00:43:05,100 --> 00:43:08,601 government elections are free or fair 779 00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:10,100 cannot be republican inform. We have 780 00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:11,100 impossible data of the citizens have 781 00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:14,100 been bringing that to your attention 782 00:43:14,100 --> 00:43:15,100 for years. Is been entered into a court 783 00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:19,100 case in nevada months ago to show 784 00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:20,100 patterns of manipulation seen in data 785 00:43:20,100 --> 00:43:24,201 in many counties across the country. In 786 00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:27,100 2024 weeks before the election some 787 00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:28,100 random assistant professor tells the 788 00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:29,100 clerk's office there's a problem and 789 00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:31,100 suddenly they work on it but don't tell 790 00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:35,201 citizens. Did they tell you? Did they 791 00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:38,100 tell any of you? 792 00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:39,100 >> this is your time to speak 793 00:43:39,100 --> 00:43:43,801 >> I'm doing so thank you. So then the 794 00:43:45,100 --> 00:43:47,100 data changes, randomly, after the 795 00:43:47,100 --> 00:43:51,801 election is over. It gets snuck on the 796 00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:55,100 website.
