A conservative group connected to Colorado’s Secretary of State has
been sending political mailers—including a picture of a darker-skinned
woman whose face was digitally removed and replaced with a white
woman’s face—in an attempt to oppose a landmark-voting bill that may
soon become law.

Colorado is currently considering a major piece of legislation to
improve the state’s voting laws by implementing Election Day
Registration, automatically sending mail ballots to every voter, and
creating a real-time voter database to detect and prevent fraud. It
passed the House last week and will now be taken up by the Democratic-
controlled Senate.

Secretary of State Scott Gessler, a frequent speaker at True The Vote
events who uses his perch to warn about the supposed threat of voter
fraud, is leading opposition to the bill, which is supported by a
number of Republican County Clerks and the Colorado County Clerks
Association.

Now, a dark money group named the “Citizens for Free and Fair
Elections,” which lists its address as that of Gessler’s former firm,
the Hackstaff Law Group, is sending out Photoshop mailers in an
attempt to pressure the election clerks into switching their position.

Here is the mailer:



The mailer’s background was taken from the following Getty Images
photo.

Except for two key differences. The original photo included a darker-
skinned woman in a white hoodie sweatshirt, but the altered version in
the mailer took out her face and replaced it with the exact same face
of the white woman standing alongside. In addition, a dark-skinned man
standing behind her in the photo was removed from the mailer entirely.

side-by-side:
