17 Colorado Voters Accused Of Voter Fraud Cleared Of Wrongdoing

After Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler (R) compiled a list of 17 people last month suspected of illegally voting in the November presidential election as non-citizens, an investigation Wednesday easily verified their citizenship and cleared all 17 of wrongdoing, Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett told the Daily Camera.

The names were part of a statewide list of 155 people identified as possible illegal voters. Garnett told the Daily Camera the outcome is proof that searching for illegal voters is politically motivated and a waste of resources.

"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," Garnett said. "We don't need state officials sending us on wild goose chases for political reasons."

[Thinkingabout]

1. The GOP has tried many things to prevent eligible voters from voting when it would be easier for

Them to get a better platform, get rid of the hate and prove their candidates are capable of governing.
If I was a betting person if the Democrats ever tried these stupid tactics the GOP would be crying for years. They still have not gotten over Nixon having to resign or H W from being beaten by Bill Clinton

2. Yes, but the corporate media

ain't covering it.

3. Of course, this article wa on page bazillion of the Denver Post

A right wing rag like no other. Gessler is a tea bagging unethical even for a republican joke.

4. Gessler is a teabagger, never should have been elected.

We had a competent and honest Secretary of State, then this dope gets elected. At first he wanted to retain his position with his law firm because he "couldn't live on the Sec. of State salary," but promised no conflicts of interest. yeah right!
Then he pulls the usual teabagger crap of changing rules and looking for non existent voter fraud.
The only fraud here is Scott Gessler. What is it with these guys named Scott?

5. So, then it's approximately 100 cases total, minus 35 now? Ok.

(And I totally made up the 100 cases part, lacking actual figures). Still, it's important that we disenfranchise millions to ensure that 35 people don't get over....
