In a significant update for election integrity, Vicki Stuart and Sally Jane Maxedon, both postal workers in Colorado, pled guilty to stealing and forging mail-in ballots during the 2024 election. According to the authorities, the two women intercepted ballots, forged signatures, and then fraudulently submitted them.
For contexts, conservatives, including Trump, have long sounded the alarm about the significant security issues with mail-in voting. However, the Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media have downplayed these concerns despite the mounting tide of evidence.
In any case, prominent conservative influencer Libs of TikTok broke the story in a May 8, 2025, post to X. She announced, “Mesa County, Colorado Postal worker Vicki Lyn Stuart and an accomplice were arrested on voter fraud charges. They allegedly stole ballots, forged signatures, and illegally cast them. But Democrats say voter fraud in mail-in voting is impossible…”
In the comments under her post, conservatives were incensed by the fraud and left dozens of angry comments. One such comment said, “This is the kind of crap Democrats swore was “impossible,” while they rigged the rules, flooded mailboxes with ballots, and dared anyone to question it.” Building on this point, another user said, “Democrats keep denying voter fraud while it’s happening right under their noses.”
Responding with lengthy comments, another user demolished the DNC’s narrative on mail-in ballots. The user wrote, “The arrest of a Colorado postal worker for stealing and forging ballots obliterates the liberal myth that mail-in voting is fraud-proof. In 2020, 15% of mail-in ballots nationwide had signature verification issues (Election Assistance Commission), yet Democrats pushed universal mail-in voting, ignoring risks. Conservative values—election integrity and accountability—demand safeguards like voter ID, supported by 80% of Americans (Gallup, 2024).”
Using the case to criticize the Democrats, the same user stated, “Liberal denial of voter fraud protects their electoral edge. In 2022, 10,000 ballots in Colorado were flagged for irregularities, with 20% tied to forged signatures (CO Sec. of State). Meanwhile, progressive DAs dropped 60% of voter fraud cases since 2020 (Heritage Foundation), shielding perpetrators, “adding, “The left’s “trust the system” mantra is a smokescreen for exploiting vulnerabilities.”
Reacting to the fraud, many commentators called for harsh punishments. One such comment declared, “I do not care who it was on behalf of…All US citizens are entitled to free and fair elections and ANYONE who tampers, steals, cheats this process should be arrested and charged.” Calling out the media, one woman commented, “But Jena Griswold, described Colorado’s election system as the “gold standard” for its security, accessibility, and high voter turnout.”

Rounding out the comments, one user slammed the Democrats for their blatant corruption and disregard for the rules. The reply noted, “It’s always their side pulling this garbage. You don’t see Republicans getting nailed for ballot fraud, because they aren’t the ones abusing the system they claim to protect. This isn’t a one-off. It’s a pattern. 2020 wasn’t a clean election, it was the moment the rot finally bubbled to the surface.”
