Hickenlooper Condemns Trump’s Primetime Address & False Election Claims

WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper released the below statement following President Donald Trump's primetime address where he continued spreading lies and misinformation about America's free and fair elections:

"President Trump is once again peddling conspiracies to distract from his failures and doubling down on his efforts to make it harder to vote," said Hickenlooper. "As governor, we expanded Colorado's mail-in voting system, which Democrats and Republicans trust because it's convenient, safe, and secure. No matter how many lies Donald Trump, Tina Peters, or other election deniers tell, we'll keep fighting to protect your right to vote."

Hickenlooper has consistently fought back against Trump and MAGA Republicans' voter suppression bill, the SAVE America Act, and stood up to their attacks on mail-in-voting, a proven safe and secure voting method. As governor, Hickenlooper created the gold-standard mail-in-voting system in the country, providing millions of Coloradans with easier access to the ballot box. Hickenlooper cosponsors several pieces of voting rights legislation, including the For the People Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and the Freedom to Vote Act.
