In a case of potential election interference, a school board candidate in Basalt, Colorado, said her volunteers tracked stolen campaign signs to a public school employee’s home.

But despite electronic evidence of where the signs went, the candidate told The Lion she believes authorities just want the case to disappear.

Elizabeth Taylor, who ran for a spot on the Roaring Fork School District Board, placed trackers in her campaign signs after they kept disappearing from public rights-of-way.

The next morning the devices registered their location at the school staff parking lot and later from a home belonging to an individual connected with the school district. 

Taylor said public voter registration information confirmed the home belonged to a school employee. 

She said the signs were then moved once again, according to the electronic tracking devices.
