The RidgeGate calendar of fun starts

here.

June 29, featured national election gures who saw attacks from Trump and others after the 2020 presidential election.

Gabe Sterling, a Republican in the Georgia Secretary of State’s o ce, oversaw two hand recounts of the election, which con rmed Joe Biden won the state. He talked about death threats — which some Colorado elected o cials could relate to.

Besides elections, clerks handle a variety of duties, including recording wedding licenses and handling motor vehicle transactions. Other workshops at the association’s conference dealt with those issues. Attendees heard from the Colorado State Patrol, the state Department of Revenue and the federal Election Assistance Commission.
