DENVER (KDVR) — A 61-year-old Castle Rock voter has been found guilty by a jury of voter fraud, connected to the 2022 General Election.
Prosecutors were able to prove that Elizabeth Ann Davis had submitted a ballot under the name of her dead husband and also cast her own legitimate ballot in the same election. She was also convicted of casting a ballot for her son, according to a press release from the 23rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Sheri Davis praised the case’s outcome in a press release shared on Wednesday.
“There are layers of security built into the election process here in Colorado, and this case shows they are working,” she said. “We appreciate having a District Attorney’s office that takes attempted voter fraud seriously to ensure the integrity of elections.”
The specific charges Davis was convicted of were two counts of forgery and one count of “personating an elector.” The prosecutor’s office said Davis has an “extensive criminal history,” and has been convicted previously on forgery, theft, drug offenses and prostitution in both Florida and Colorado.
Two deputy district attorneys who worked on the case emphasized the wider implications of voter fraud, including the threat it poses to democracy.
“Safeguarding our elections is essential,” said Deputy District Attorney David Bosner in the 23rd Judicial District Office’s release. “The verdict shows that the community will hold someone accountable if he or she compromises the integrity of that process.”
District Attorney George Brauchler spoke about the seriousness of the case. He called Davis a “career forger” who had not learned from earlier convictions.
“Those who seek to corrupt our elections or dilute our votes — by even a single ballot — will find a DA’s office intent on their incarceration,” Brauchler said. “In an election between following the law and wanton lawlessness, Elizabeth Davis voted for prison … and we’re working to honor that election.”
Davis is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 9, 2026. She faces up to three years in prison.
