An election staffer in Colorado claims in a new lawsuit that the City and County of Denver booted her from a supervisor position for allegedly talking about poll worker safety on Apple TV+’s “The Problem with Jon Stewart” show — and now she’s suing.

Virginia Chau, a Voter Service and Polling Centers supervisor fired in 2022, alleges in a civil rights lawsuit filed on Monday that Denver officials axed her shortly after her Season 2, Episode 4 appearance. She claims the city didn’t appreciate her talking about the “increasing hostility from voters” being shown at the time toward “all election judges, particularly after former President Trump was spreading the Big Lie” about the 2020 presidential election being stolen from him, Chau’s lawsuit said.
