So if 285 people "hypothetically" wanted to go down to Colorado Springs, what would they need to do to cast a vote in a different district? Could they just make a fake utility bill proving they moved to town a few months ago?
And Pueblo is going to allow early voting, so you could dummy up one for Angela Giron's district too. Provisional ballots are currently permitted so the NRA faithful could totally load up the ballot box. They could even bus people in and print the fake bills rigth on the bus.
You know, 300 people living at the same Colorado address.
Not that I would ever do this, but goose/gander right?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Despite the GOP’s continued efforts to scare the public into believing in-person voter fraud is common, in order to justify their voter suppression tactics, the Colorado investigation reveals once again that in-person voter fraud remains exceedingly rare. Secretary of State Gessler’s Office identified seventeen cases they thought worth investigating and all seventeen came up without a single instance of fraud detected. So far the state of Colorado has identified one case of voter fraud in the last five elections, a single solitary case from 2004 that was discovered too late to prosecute because the statute of limitations had expired.
The Republican Party’s inability to find more than a single instance of voter fraud underscores their disconnection from empirical reality. Barack Obama won the state of Colorado by over 137,000 votes, but that has not stopped right-wing bloggers and commentators from alleging that he won the state through fraud.
Voter fraud is not as rampant as Colorado's secretary of state would like you to believe.
Last month, Secretary of State Scott Gessler (R) had announced that 155 possibly illegal voters went to the polls in the November 2012 elections -- out of more than 3,050,578 voters in Colorado.
Now a review by Boulder County's top prosecutor has found that all 17 instances of allegedly fraudulent voters in his county were, in fact, verifiable U.S. citizens, The Boulder Daily Camera reported Wednesday.
"Local governments and county clerks do a really good job regulating the integrity of elections, and I'll stand by that record any day of the week," said Stan Garnett (D), Boulder County's district attorney. "We don't need state officials sending us on wild goose chases for political reasons."
Poor teabaggers... They can't win if they don't cheat....
