DENVER, Colo. (KOAA) — State elections officials in nine states, including Colorado, have sent a letter to the Department of Justice expressing concern and distrust about the recent collection of state voter data.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold led the letter, asking the DOJ why they want this information and who it is being shared with. Ultimately, there is concern that federal agencies are not following the law.

“We have not received a request like this in my tenure as Secretary of State, and it is highly unprecedented,” Griswold told Scripps News Denver Anchor Jessica Porter. “Ultimately, we want answers. We do not want them to use information, putting it through untested, unreliable databases to try to prove conspiracies that are unprovable because they're conspiracies.”
