Massive voter registration fraud in Colorado


Looks to be way bigger than Reno

Excerpt:

9News has discovered a record number of fraudulent
voter-registrations across the state. Secretary of State Donetta
Davidson tells 9News she is concerned about what the I-Team has
uncovered and wants those responsible prosecuted. "It has just gone
rampant," she told reporter Deborah Sherman in an interview Monday
afternoon.


Most of the fraud has come from registration drives, where people at
grocery stores or on the streets ask you to sign up. 9News has learned
many workers have re-registered voters multiple times by changing or
making up information about them. 9News has documented 719 cases of
potentially fraudulent forms at county election offices show fraudulent
names, addresses, social security numbers or dates of birth in Denver,
Douglas, Adams, Boulder and Lake counties. Information from other
counties is still coming in.



And look who's doing it

Excerpt:

The voter registration applications are public record. 9NEWS went to
the clerk's office to review some of the questionable applications that
had been set aside. One of them was from a man named "Jason Kills Enemy,"
whose address was phony and whose number was disconnected. He'd
registered six times to vote in Arapahoe County.


"The New Voters Project" is one of the organizations that registered
Jason Kills Enemy. Ben Prochazka spoke to us on behalf of the Project.
He says the organization does hire people to register voters, but they
do have checks and balances. He admits that there was a problem, but
added "people who falsified the applications, also defrauded us."


ACORN was another group that had questionable registrations. Ross
Fitzgerald of ACORN told us, "We've been defrauded by these
registrations."


Bill Vandenberg of Colorado Progressive Coalition agreed. "We've been
had by these registrations and we want an investigation," said
Vandenberg.


The problematic applications in Arapahoe County were primarily from
these three groups, which all pay their workers to register voters. All
three political groups say they are non-partisan.


"They may be non-partisan, but in point of fact, they are on the
progressive or liberal side of a political perspective," says 9NEWS
political analyst Floyd Ciruli.


I say:

They really should demand some ID.
