Colorado Threatens To Sue DHS If They Don’t Assist With The State’s Voter Purge Efforts
By Guest Blogger on Jul 12, 2012 at 8:50 am

On Tuesday, Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler increased his efforts to purge Colorado’s voter rolls. Gessler sent a letter, backed by Colorado Attorney General John Suthers and elections officials in 11 other states, requesting that Department of Homeland Security help verify the citizenship of 5,000 registered voters, and threatening to sue if they do not.

<..> Opponents of Gessler’s efforts say they amount to voter intimidation and could keep eligible voters — particularly Latinos, who are expected to play a big role in deciding the election in states such as Colorado — from going to the polls. Those voters lean heavily Democratic.

Critics also say trying to compare federal and state databases could lead to errors in matching names and citizenship information — resulting in some voters improperly losing their Constitutional right to cast a ballot — and that the problem is not nearly big or serious enough to make that risk worthwhile.

<..> Gessler acknowledges he doesn’t have a stack of confirmed cases of voter fraud, but he points to 430 cases where non-citizens self-identified their presence on the voting rolls and asked to be removed.

they are losing on all fronts and the one and only way to win is to cheat!

I hope that all polls are monitored and if legal U.S citizens are turned away, those that did the turning away should be arrested.
