Castle Rock woman found guilty of casting ballot for dead ex-husband

A Castle Rock woman was convicted of voter fraud Friday for submitting fraudulent ballots as her son and dead ex-husband, according to the 23rd Judicial District.

Elizabeth Ann Davis, 61, was found guilty of two counts of forgery and one count of “personating an elector” by a Douglas County jury.

The forgery charges are felonies, and the election charge is a misdemeanor.

“Voter fraud threatens the core of our democracy. There must be consequences for those who break that trust,” deputy district attorney Chase Helseth said in a statement.

Davis was represented by the state public defender’s office, which does not comment on criminal cases.

She is set to be sentenced Jan. 9, with possible sentences ranging from probation to three years in prison, according to the district attorney’s office.
