I want to direct this to Deb Green, I think I can do this because she is an "elected" (but who knows) Official of Park County. Then I wonder after she reads it if she will,... "Do the - - Potty Dance"
u]b]Ballots, lies and videotape[/b[/u A botched election in south-central Colorado triggers avalanche of allegations
By Troy HooperReal Aspen – February 25, 2011 Colorado Elections Director Judd Choate has proclaimed “great faith” in the results of two dubious political races in south-central Colorado and says two of his staffers were on hand to help with its “retabulation.”
“On the fifth of November, we sent down a couple of people to work on their retabulation, and we had two of our people … help [Saguache] County reassess their numbers," Choate told the state's Best Practices and Vision Commission, which he chairs, in a January meeting. "They saw no problems.”
The explanation was intended to quiet an escalating controversy in Saguache County, where County Clerk Melinda Myers reversed the results of the Nov. 2 election and three days later declared herself the winner. The outcome of the county commissioner's race also flipped in favor of the incumbent in Myers' party.
The problem with Choate's account is that it isn't true. Amy Wilson, the secretary of state's elections trainer, was not present for the retabulation. Neither was a state lawyer Choate said was there.
Richard Coolidge, spokesman for the secretary of state, now says that Choate “misspoke.”
This could start a rock slide in this state. Imagine the if the criminal investigation comes back and charges are filed. The SOS will become very busy.

I am thinking that some here in Park County are still thinking the votes were rigged and that is why the Sheriff won reelection. Also how a few other got elected. Until that is proven, all is on the up and up.
