Colorado: El Paso County Clerk staffer investigated for alleged voter fraud

El Paso County Clerk former staffer Alissa Vander Veen is being investigated for voter fraud in the state Senate recall.

Vander Veen was chief deputy and communications manager with the Clerk’s office for years, before taking a job in the spring with Challenger Homes, a Colorado Springs-based home building company. A longtime Colorado Springs political insider, she apparently moved out of El Paso to Pueblo in November of last year, but voted in the Colorado Springs special election.
