CO woman convicted of casting ballot for dead ex-husband, son in 2022 election
A Colorado woman was convicted of voter fraud Wednesday for casting others’ ballots in the 2022 general election. Elizabeth Ann Davis, 61, of Castle Rock, was found guilty by a Douglas County jury on two counts of forgery and one count of “personating an elector.”
Cast ballots for dead ex-husband and son
Prosecutors said that Davis turned in a ballot under the name of her dead ex-husband while casting her own ballot in the same election. They also said she cast a ballot in her son’s name.
Prosecutors praise conviction
“There are layers of security built into the election process here in Colorado, and this case shows they are working,” Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Sheri Davis said in a statement Wednesday. “We appreciate having a District Attorney’s office that takes attempted voter fraud seriously to ensure the integrity of elections.”
District Attorney George Brauchler also praised the conviction and warned those who would consider such violations of the law.
Prior criminal history
According to authorities, Davis has a significant criminal history, including prior convictions for theft, forgery, drugs and prostitution in Colorado and Florida.
“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. “Here, a career forger learned nothing from her earlier convictions and soft treatment by our justice system. 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 for sentencing on Jan. 9, 2026, and faces punishment ranging from probation to up to three years in prison.
