Postal Worker and Accomplice Arrested in Colorado Ballot Fraud Scheme
In a shocking breach of election integrity, a U.S. Postal Service employee and her accomplice have been arrested for allegedly stealing and forging mail-in ballots in Mesa County, Colorado. This disturbing case of election fraud has sent shockwaves through the state’s voting system, exposing critical vulnerabilities in mail-in voting security.
Vicki Lyn Stuart, a postal worker, and Sally Jane Maxedon were taken into custody on Wednesday, facing serious felony charges including forgery, identity theft, and attempting to influence a public servant. The arrest came after an investigation launched on October 21 by the 21st District Attorney’s Office, following complaints from residents about missing and rejected mail-in ballots.

The Fraud Scheme Unveiled
According to court documents, Stuart allegedly abused her position as a postal worker to mishandle ballots, marking them as “return to sender” if names didn’t match mailboxes – a clear violation of USPS protocol. This insider access allowed the duo to hijack ballots from mailbox clusters without signs of forced entry, raising alarms about the security of mail-in voting systems.
Maxedon, initially claiming to be “testing” signature verification, later confessed to a scheme with Stuart to manipulate the voting process. This admission reveals a calculated effort to undermine the integrity of Colorado’s election system, exploiting weaknesses in mail-in voting security.
Impact on Election Integrity
The scale of this fraud is alarming. At least 16 victims have been identified, with more suspected. Most disturbingly, while nine ballots were removed for fraud, three fraudulent votes were actually processed and counted in a recent election. This revelation casts a shadow over the reliability of mail-in voting results and the effectiveness of current security measures.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities inherent in mail-in voting systems. While some officials attempt to spin this as proof of effective security measures, the fact remains that fraudulent votes were cast and counted. It’s a clear indication that more robust safeguards are desperately needed to protect the integrity of our elections.
We need to do something about this. Nationally.
