GET ME REWRITE: Chaffee County Colorado Clerk and Recorder is sick and tired of the "loser logic' of MAGA droolers

 
Trump won Chaffee County in 2016 by 4.4 percentage points.

Biden won the county in 2022 by 6.8 percentage points.  That's quite a flip for a rural county of less than 20,000 residents.

Except for the Johnson-Goldwater race in 1964, the county voted Republican in presidential elections from 1948 to 2008.

3rd-party candidates received 25.1% of vote in 1992, 10.7% of vote in 1996, 8.6% in 2016;
(Alabama segregationist George Wallace received 8.8% of the vote in 1968)

Recently, a group of election deniers have attacked me personally and accused me of not being transparent or of violating federal or state election laws. Anyone who knows me knows that is not true. 
Groups like this one have popped up here in Colorado and nationally and are aggressively selling their brand of “loser logic,” that their loss was a result of some misbehavior in the election system. 
When I played golf, it was that guy who gets angry and blames his bad tee shot on someone who sneezed behind him as he was swinging. 
Don’t buy what these election deniers are selling. Let’s keep our eye on the ball. 
Colorado’s elections are referred to as the “gold standard” of the U.S. election laws for good reason: open to every eligible voter, fair, transparent, secure, and accessible. Let’s take pride in that achievement, despite others wanting to tear it down.
