DENVER — A former Denver elections worker who says she was fired for speaking out about her safety concerns on comedianVirginia Chau, a lawyer who worked as a polling center supervisor during elections, spoke in 2022 about threats made against election workers and the lack of training for them during a panel discussion on the short-lived streaming show “The Problem with Jon Stewart .”in the lead-up to Election Day both to protect their workers and to protect voting procedures and ballots.
“Instead of heeding Ms. Chau’s call for more resources and training for election officials facing threats to their personal safety, Defendants decided instead to retaliate against one of their best, and most passionate, election workers,” the lawsuit says. The suit was filed against the city, its elections director and clerk and recorder. It asks for Chau to be reinstated and for unspecified damages.
A spokesperson for Lopez’s office, Mikayla Ortega, and a representative of the city attorney’s office, Melissa Sisneros, said their offices do not comment on pending litigation.
