A new lawsuit filed by voting rights groups alleges that a pro-Trump group is sending armed members door-to-door in areas with large numbers of voters of color, questioning people about how they voted and taking photographs of their homes.
at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021It alleges that their attempted canvassing for election fraud evidence had the “purpose and effect of intimidating Coloradans from voting, trying to vote, helping others to vote, supporting or advocating for certain political beliefs, or exercising the right to speak, peaceably assemble, or petition the government for redress of grievances, in violation of Section 11 of the Voting Rights Act.
The lawsuit does not offer specific examples of voters being intimidated or harassed by armed canvassers, but last year USEIP leader Charity McPike urged armed members to provide “security” for the group. The USEIP is also working with the Colorado Republican Party on its “Election Integrity Operations,” according to the. A USEIP member is in charge of the GOP’s program and has given joint presentations with Epp, the group’s co-founder. Heidi Ganahl, the leading Republican candidate for Colorado governor,USEIP did not respond to a request for comment. The group’s website says it plans to expand to other states, including Arizona, Georgia and New Hampshire.
