Kathleen Curry Shenanigans?

We’ve just received reports in the last few minutes about potentially illegal electioneering activity outside polling places in Colorado House District 61. Embattled write-in candidate Kathleen Curry and her campaign are reportedly handing out pens labeled with her name outside polling places, allegedly inside the 100-foot limit surrounding polling locations where electioneering is prohibited. They’re specifically instructing voters to take these pens and vote with them.

Sure, it’s tough to get people to spell your name correctly as a write-in, but if this is how she’s resolving that problem, well, it’s a problem. We’re told that a complaint has already been filed, local election judges are involved as witnesses, and the Democratic Party is a couple of confirmatory phone calls from sounding full alarm–we’ll update when we have more information.
