Denver Clerk’s Panel Rails Against SAVE Act, Floats Non-Citizen Voting in Colorado

A recent panel hosted by Denver Clerk and Recorder Paul Lopez drew criticism for its one-sided opposition to the SAVE Act, a federal bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. With no supporters of the bill present, the discussion dismissed concerns about non-citizen voting and instead advocated for expanding voting rights to non-citizens in Colorado’s municipal elections—a move that would require amending the state constitution. The debate highlights deep divisions over election integrity, voter access, and the future of voting rights in Colorado.
