Elizabeth Davis, 61, of Castle Rock was found guilty of two counts of forgery and one count of “personating an elector” according to the 23rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office. She could face up to three years in prison.
She could also be sentenced to probation.
Cases of voter fraud in Colorado are rare, and the Douglas County clerk praised the verdict.
“There are layers of security built into the election process here in Colorado, and this case shows they are working,” Clerk Sheri Davis said in a written statement.
A prosecutor in the 23rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office said safeguarding elections is an essential duty of the judicial system.

Davis had prior convictions for forgery, theft, drug offenses and prostitution in Colorado and Florida. She will be sentenced Jan. 9.
