Federal officials said Coloradans can be proud of their election system and the professionals who make it safe and secure.

President Donald Trump claimed repeatedly that Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems rigged the outcome with its ballot-counting software. Pres. Trump claimed Dominion Voting deleted millions of votes cast for him -- and changed more than 600,000 others.

"Dominion is running our Election. Rigged!" Pres. Trump tweeted.

Twitter flagged that tweet as well, stating, "This claim about election fraud is disputed."

The November election had the largest number of Coloradans participate in state history.
