A Colorado judge has ruled against civil and voting rights organizations that accused a group of Donald Trump supporters of intimidating voters during their post-2020 election activities. The lawsuit targeted leaders of the U.S. Election Integrity Plan, alleging actions such as photographing voters' homes and engaging in what was described as 'door-to-door voter intimidation' in minority-heavy areas. The group was formed in response to Trump's unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud following his defeat to Joe Biden.
The trial, which began earlier this week, was cut short by U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney, who sided with the Trump supporters. The plaintiffs, including the League of Women Voters of Colorado, the NAACP regional chapter, and Mi Familia Vota, had cited the 19th-century Ku Klux Klan Act in their lawsuit, aiming to prevent voter intimidation against minority communities.
