Colorado Native here, thanks for all of your great digging RatioInvictus. I too believe there is a great deal of fuckery going down in Colorado voting. I decided to do a bit of a dig on the SoS Jena Griswold. She has not been without controversy from the very beginning. This will be a two part comment.  Lets begin with where her roots are, her wiki page says 

• She "graduated from Whitman College magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Politics and Spanish Literature in 2006.[1] She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School with a Juris Doctor in 2011.[2] In 2006, Griswold was awarded the Watson Foundation Fellowship,[3] and in 2009, the Penn Law International Human Rights Fellowship. Thomas J. Watson Fellowship (founded by CEO of IBM, Thomas J. Watson)  is a grant that enables graduating seniors to pursue a year of independent study outside the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_Foundation#Thomas_J._Watson_Fellowship  *Where did she go on fellowship? https://www.whitman.edu/newsroom/archive/2006/watson-winner-to-dance-across-four-continents Panama, England, South Africa and Japan. The connection with IBM and The Clinton Foundation is interesting as well, as you can see they work with them according to their calendar. Also IBM has a Boulder location.https://www.clintonfoundation.org/media-center/news *Penn Law International Human Rights Fellowship. https://www.law.upenn.edu/international/gjf.php The Global Justice Fellowship (GJF), one of two Global Fellowship Programs at Penn Law, helps support JD students interested in international public interest internships during summer break. The program is designed to immerse students in the law and legal culture of another part of the world and to work on the most pressing global issues facing the world today. Internship organizations can include entities that promote human, rule of law, economic, social, and cultural rights including: non-governmental organizations (NGOs)regional inter-governmental bodies, including the United Nationsgovernment offices involved directly in the provision of human rights servicesselect international courts including International Criminal Court (ICC), International Court of Justice, The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), Inter-American Court of Human Rightsadvocacy groupssocial movement work

*Griswold moved to Washington, D.C. in 2011,[4] and worked for President Barack Obama’s successful 2012 re-election campaign as a voter protection attorney.[5] In 2013, Governor John Hickenlooper appointed her to be his liaison to the federal government.[6] 

Hickenlooper was on the ballot this year and won with an ethics violation on his record. He is the reason a magazine ban was implemented in Colorado and banned straw sales (Bloomberg money). However, the mag ban is really not recognized, and at the very least you can buy rebuild kits. I personally knew cops that didn’t enforce. He was the reason Magpul left the state. Not before they flooded us with cheap mags and sent a Unimog to send supplies to Lyons after the great flood of 2013. The tax revenue lost was more than the sequester cuts the State was complaining about. I now live in Douglas Count, but at the time lived and worked in Boulder, Colorado is not as blue as people think, many libertarian leaning Republicans. 

*She is married to Mohamed Enab. I was unable to find much of anything about him. There is a fluff article, they had a traditional Jewish Ceremony. Odd considering his name. I cannot find any close up pictures of him. I searched his last name and I found that his last name is a Village in Iran. I find it weird that there is only one picture of them on the internet (from a distance) at their wedding from 2014.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/on-love-jena-griswold-and-mohamed-enab/2014/06/19/ca509d40-f57c-11e3-a3a5-42be35962a52_story.html

*Griswold has been controversial from the beginning. She is open about how  Trump’s election in 2016 spurred her to run. Curiously enough during her campaign she refused to say where she worked  "Now she works as outside counsel to a company she wouldn’t name [Pols emphasis] and works on public policy issues as part of her firm, Griswold Strategies." She called the Donald Trump Voter Fraud Commission “a sham commission” and blasted Secretary of State Wayne Williams for his “rash decision” to comply. https://www.coloradopols.com/diary/96997/inauspicious-start-for-colorado-sos-candidate

*Since she has been elected in a so-called "blue-wave" in 2018. (Mail in voting has been law since 2013). She has been criticized by both R's and D's for multiple reasons we will go into now. (Whenever this happens, not surprisingly she goes for the I am a young woman and they are sexists card, no surprise here.)  "Griswold touted a talented team of top staffers when she stepped into the office in January 2018. Those included communications director Serena Woods, who had handled former state treasurer Cary Kennedy’s campaign for governor; director of government Shad Murib, who had helped elect Gov. Polis; and Deputy Secretary of State Jenny Flanagan, who previously worked for the left-leaning ethics and elections organization, Common Cause" All three have already left, in addition to two longtime office employees who were well-regarded. Woods now works on Polis’ health team, and Murib is working on Hickenlooper’s Senate campaign. None of the three would comment for this story.  *This year Griswold SOS office has been in the news quite often. In October she was sued for outdated voter rolls [ Judicial Watch ]https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3891801/posts

*The Tenth Circuit decided that Colorado cannot remove a faithless presidential elector for violating state law, even if they try to cast their electoral college ballot for a candidate who did not win the majority vote in Colorado. Colorado law requires the electors to cast their ballots in accordance with the majority vote. According to the SoS "The Colorado Secretary of State’s office said the ruling impedes the state’s ability to enforce the law and has the potential to undermine voters across the nation." According to Jena Griswold "“Unelected and unaccountable presidential electors should not be allowed to decide the presidential election without regard to voters’ choices and state law,” said Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold. “When Americans vote in the Presidential election, we are exercising our most fundamental right – the right to self-governance. We hope the U.S. Supreme Court will protect the rights of states to enforce their laws and defend the rights of Americans to choose the U.S. President.” This ruling stems from 2016, the Colorado Secretary of State replaced Michael Baca as a state presidential elector after he failed to vote for Hillary Clinton as he had pledged. https://denver.cbslocal.com/2020/01/17/colorado-faithless-electors-supreme-court/  *Jena has admitted "friction between her office and county clerks."  County clerks pushed back on Griswold-supported legislation, called the Colorado Votes Act, that expanded voting hours, saying it was too difficult and expensive, as well as unnecessary in some counties, to put in place this year.  Then, after coronavirus restrictions settled on the state, Griswold sent county clerks emergency rules for operating the May primary election without taking into account that some counties had no coronavirus cases and that clerks already had their own protocols, clerks said. And when Griswold announced she would spend $1 million to increase pay for county election judges, it put clerks in the tough spot of deciding whether to take the money because it meant election judges in some cases would earn more per hour than other full-time county clerk staff with more experience, they said. Chaffee County Clerk Lori Mitchell said that in contrast to Williams, her predecessor, Griswold has left county clerks out of the decision-making process.  “I am the same party as she is, but you’ve got to call them like you see them,” said Mitchell, a Democrat. “I feel like she’s gotten away with some things because people don’t want to look like they are attacking a young woman.” Mitchell wishes Griswold would spend less time fighting with Trump and more time focused on Colorado. The state’s election process is secure, but it’s the perception of fairness that worries her. And Tiffany Parker, who has been La Plata county clerk for 10 years, said Griswold has “disregarded the clerks.” Parker contends that Griswold left her out of a meeting with the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and that she found out about it by reading The Durango Herald, though Griswold says she communicated her plans with Parker.

two controversies in just the past few weeks have kept Griswold in the headlines.  Her office sent out postcards ahead of the election encouraging people to register to vote. Some went to people who are not citizens or had died, although the postcards included language saying that only eligible voters could register.  Though previous secretaries of state have mailed the same type of postcards, U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, the chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, took the issue out of context and asked for a federal investigation into voter fraud. “We must get to the bottom of this,” Buck tweeted.   “Russia doesn’t have to worry about spreading election misinformation in Colorado. @buckforColorado is doing it for them,” Griswold responded.  Later that week, Griswold published a series of tweets asking the national media not to call races on election night because they likely won’t be finalized. Leaders in both parties balked at her “#PressPause” proposal as a major overstep. Griswold later deleted the tweets but said she still supports the concept.
