Douglas County Woman Gets Maximum 3 Years for 2022 Voter Fraud

Elizabeth Ann Davis, 62, of Castle Rock walked out of the 23rd Judicial District courtroom Monday with the stiffest sentence Colorado law allows for her crimes: three years in prison for submitting fraudulent ballots during the 2022 general election.

District Court Chief Judge Ryan J. Stuart imposed the maximum term after a jury convicted Davis on two counts of forgery and one count of personating an elector. Prosecutors presented evidence that Davis filled out ballots under the names of her deceased ex-husband and her son while also casting her own legitimate vote, a scheme investigators tied to the 2022 midterm cycle. Davis faced a sentencing range anywhere from probation to three years; Judge Stuart chose the upper limit.

Deputy District Attorney David Bosner, who noted the particular irony threading through the case, offered a pointed assessment of the verdict. "This verdict sends a clear message that fraudulent voting will not be ignored," Bosner said. "Protecting the integrity of elections is essential to maintaining confidence in the system."

The irony Bosner referenced stemmed from Davis's own words in court. She told Judge Stuart she believed she was singled out because of her attendance at the January 6th, 2021, protest at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., an event centered on what courts and election officials have repeatedly characterized as unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud. Davis, prosecutors noted, had committed the very offense those protests invoked.

Her criminal history compounded the picture presented to the court. According to the 23rd Judicial District Attorney's Office, Davis carries 10 prior felony convictions and two misdemeanors spanning forgery, theft, drug offenses, and prostitution.

The case was prosecuted through the 23rd Judicial District Attorney's Office, which covers Douglas County. The conviction itself came down in October 2025, with sentencing following this week.
