Colorado attorney general shares concerns over election security

• Weiser made the comments Tuesday during an Axios Denver Newsmakers event hosted at the Denver Press Club.

Between the lines: The potential for deep fakes to affect elections is another potential problem, Weiser says, pointing to a law passed by this year's legislative session giving his office more authority to go after people who attempt to use them to influence elections.

• "We continue to be vigilant on this issue — we can never be complacent," Weiser says.

What we're watching: Weiser says his office is observing how election workers, who are facing what he characterized as "tormenting" actions including doxxing, are treated in the upcoming election.

• "We need people to volunteer as election workers," Weiser says. "Threats against election workers is not okay. I'm worried about that. We'll see how much of a worry that materializes."
