In a hastily called public hearing late Tuesday by the Mesa County Board of Commissioners regarding who should oversee the county’s elections, commissioners said they preferred former Secretary of State Wayne Williams over former clerk and now Treasurer Sheila Reiner, both Republicans.
The county’s three commissioners — Janet Rowland, Cody Davis and Scott McInnis — said they, and not Secretary of State Jena Griswold, have the authority to name a new “designated election official” to oversee elections.
On the advice of newly named County Attorney Todd Starr, commissioners said that authority rests with them, something Griswold disputes.

In 2017, Williams complied with Donald Trump's request by sending publicly available voter data to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity
