Election Notes:
  • James Peabody contested the results in the Colorado General Assembly on the basis of fraud by Adams and the Democrats. On March 17, 1905, the General Assembly ruled in favor of Peabody and declared him to be the legitimate governor. However, Peabody's campaign had likely also engaged in voter fraud. Thus, to settle the issue, Peabody immediately resigned upon being declared governor. He was succeeded by Lieutenant Governor Jesse F. McDonald, who served the remainder of the term.
