Voter Fraud in Colorado??? Duh!

Voter Fraud in Colorado November elections - House Committee to Investigate
Kimberly Morin
March 15, 2011 Elections

The Secretary of State of Colorado, Scott Gessler released a study on March 8 that shows a disturbing problem with the Voter Registration process in his state. The study identified almost 12,000 non-citizens as registered voters in Colorado. More disturbing is that the study pointed out almost 5,000 non-citizens actually voted in the November 2010 elections. The Subcommittee on Elections, part of the Committee on House Administration, has decided to follow up on the Colorado study and review measures across the country in order to 'protect the integrity of our electoral process.' From the Committee on House Administration's site :

WASHINGTON – Today, Subcommittee on Elections Chairman Gregg Harper, R-Miss., issued the following statement announcing a review of state voter registration processes after a recent Colorado study revealed that as many as 5,000 non-citizens voted in Colorado during the 2010 elections:

“This report is extremely troubling and cause for a thorough review of the current registration processes implemented across the country, which I guarantee will be a priority for this Subcommittee. It also calls into question each state’s ability to enforce current voting laws and whether or not we need to pursue additional measures to better protect the integrity of our electoral process.”

It's about DAMNED time somthing be done!!

What? They don't like the dead vote or the "vote early, vote often" ideas?

So who benefited from these votes?
There must be a way to determine who recieved these 5,000 votes.

According to the article it is under investigation.

There has not been a single verified case of voter fraud in Colorado. The "issue" that Gessler is trumpeted is his comparison of how a voter received their driver's license. If the individual used a "non-citizen" work visa or used other identification that does not meet the requirements for voting (such as a SSA card) when they applied for their driver's license, then Gessler is claiming voter fraud. Since a Colorado DL is for ten years, many of those could become citizens, or could have already been citizens but used other ID to get their driver's license.. Out of those 11,000 he is claiming committed voter fraud, he now states that only 100 or so may have actually committed fraud, and he has refused to turn them over prosecution.

Just another politician trying to distract and make a name for future political office.

Just an FYI, our drivers licenses are now only good for five years, not 10. My husband didn't know that and it expired on his birthday. It would have sucked to get pulled over - especially in Park County. That law changed roughly 6 years ago - revenue purposes.

As far as Scott Gessler, he's the best thing that ever happened to the Secretary of States office. Keep an eye on Saguache! Election fraud in Park County? Oh yeh! Proof? Oh yeh!

Something:

It would be proper to post at least some kind of link or authority for your comments. We know you profess to know so much but at least give us something to back up your statements.

Since you claim there has not been any verification of voter fraud in Colorado, as RidingHy06 stated, you should read up on Saguache, Colorado, where it has already been shown to have happened.

I don't know if you read the Post but they had a story earlier this month about a county clerk fixing the vote to make sure she kept her office.
