Hundreds Gathered at Colorado Capitol to Protest Election
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the Colorado Capitol on January 6 for "We Are the Storm," a protest of the electoral college vote certification slated for the same time in Washington, D.C. — before protesters there stormed the U.S. Capitol. The action in Denver stayed peaceful through the afternoon, as protesters listened to speakers and carried signs bearing such slogans as "Donald Trump Won," "Audit All States" and "Add God Back Into Our Country."
