Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump said it was important to scrutinize the vote in the battleground states likely to determine the general election. He singled out the biggest cities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

"So the most important part of what's coming up is to guard the vote. And you should go into Detroit and you should go into Philadelphia and you should go into some of these places, Atlanta," Trump said in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines.

Trump's comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious election in November 2024. Despite the failure of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies challenging the outcome in 2020, Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost to U.S. President Joe Biden due to fraud.

Colorado has an impressive tracking system for ballots. If you’re signed up, emails and texts will let you know when your ballot is received, recorded and even denied if there is doubt on things like signature. So a determined individual voter has the tools to know what is going on with minimal effort. You would know if your ballot didn’t make it.

Personally I took mine to the drop boxes, conveniently located around our neighborhoods.

Colorado’s voting system is, indeed, impressive. It’s so good my wife and I have voted in every city and county election for years. It’s just stupid easy.
