Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) received death threats after a lawsuit in her state resulted in former President Trump’s ballot removal. “In three weeks since the lawsuit was filed, I received 64 death threats. I stopped counting after that,” Griswold said on X Saturday, the platform that used to be Twitter. “I will not be intimidated. Democracy and peace will prevail over tyranny and violence.”

She also linked to a HuffPost article from last week where she expressed her fears of violence from the former president’s followers. She mentioned in the article that the lawsuit was filed by a watchdog group named Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), not by her. Griswold also applauded her Maine counterpart, Shenna Bellows (D), for her action to remove Trump from the ballot in Maine on Thursday under the 14th Amendment.

“Secretary Bellows is brave and courageous,” Griswold said on MSNBC about the Maine secretary of state (D). “She is the first one to make this decision on her own.” On Thursday, Bellows said she determined that the former president “over several months and ending on January 6, 2021, used a false claim of election fraud to rile up his supporters and direct them to the Capitol to block the 2020 election certification and the peaceful transfer of power.”

Bellows said on Friday that she received threats after her decision to remove Trump from the ballot. “I was ready for the chance of threats, and I really appreciate law enforcement and the people around me who have been very supportive of my safety and security,” Bellows said on CNN. “My safety and security is important, as well as the safety and security of everyone who works with me and we have received threatening communications.” “Those are unacceptable,” Bellows said.
