( – promoted by Colorado Pols) With a straight face, Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler told KOAA-TV, Channel 5, in CO Springs on Saturday: Gessler: I think that [people allegedly receiving two ballots in the mail] really underscores the need to have measures, and these are things I’ve been pushing for a while, to […]
As the Colorado Independent’s John Tomasic reports: In the last two years, Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler has made voter fraud prevention a top priority. His efforts have included working to stop county clerks from sending absentee ballots to inactive voters, lobbying for a controversial voter ID law and leading an unprecedented effort to […]
Yesterday, right-wing news site Breitbart.com released a new video from conservative “gotcha” artist James O’Keefe, purportedly showing how easy it is for “non-citizens” to vote: In the video, William Romero, an apparent non-citizen, is shown to be registered to vote in North Carolina. According to jury refusal records obtained by Project Veritas, Romero was recused […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) As much as I squawk about Sec. of State Scott Gessler misinterpreting the law to his own ends, I feel I have to give him props when he is actually right about something. Today the AP is reporting about a dispute between Gessler and the El Paso County Clerk, […]
(The Allan Colmes of Colorado talk radio strikes again – promoted by Colorado Pols) Should I write another blog about Secretary of State Scott Gessler? Probably not, but then I say to myself, if my three readers don’t know the kind of stuff smart talk-radio hosts like KHOW’s Craig Silverman let Gessler get away with […]
A very interesting post today over at the Junction Daily Blog, where our friend Ralphie reprints an email from Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler to an unnamed Mesa County Republican from the end of March. The subject? Senate Bill 109, the bill to solve problems uncovered last year with mail ballots and so-called “inactive-failed […]
Next week, SOS Scott Gessler will put in force rules he created that will vastly change how money is accounted for in state politics. That may be why newbie State Senate candidate, David Paladino, running in a district encompassing Centennial, has filed suit with Pro-Choice Colorado, the CO AFL-CIO and others to stop this. Paladino […]
(Ballsy move. Me likey. – promoted by Middle of the Road) In a gutsy move by a relatively unknown Democratic candidate in a Republican stronghold, SD27 Candidate David Paladino issued this press release today. Paladino joined Colorado AFL-CIO Executive Director Mike Cerbo, Pro-choice Colorado, the Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains Ballot Issue Committee, […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I have to say, it must be tough to interview Scott Gessler. He says so many half-baked, half-proven, innuendo-laden things that, as an interviewer, you’d have to constantly be interjecting with: Where do your numbers come from? Do you have proof? On what documents do you base these claims? […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Mike Rosen likes to present himself as a stern parental figure on the radio, sounding rational even when he isn’t. He builds this persona by pouncing on guests when their logic doesn’t add up. If you’ve heard Rosen, you know he can be effective (and mean) at this, often […]
With this press release late yesterday, you may consider any remaining pretense dropped: Following lengthy testimony by Secretary of State Scott Gessler, Republicans on the House Local Government Committee killed SB 109, which would have ended confusion surrounding registered voters who are tagged as “Inactive Failed to Vote” and had bipartisan support from legislators and […]
Secretary of State Scott Gessler opposed bipartisan legislation that would resolve the “Inactive Voter – Failed to Vote” during a House Local Government Committee hearing yesterday leading to the bills defeat on a party-line vote despite the House sponsor being a Republican anit passing the Senate with GOP support. Shortly after Colorado Democratic Chairman Rick […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Roper reports: Secretary of State Scott Gessler won’t release the names of the 4,500 people his office has identified who were registered to vote in Colorado but may not be U.S. citizens. Not even to the county clerks who have asked to see the names of those registered in their […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Westword’s Kylie Horner asked Andrew Cole, Secretary of State Scott Gessler’s Communications Advisor, about Gessler’s repeated references to unproven instances of election fraud in Colorado. I’m sending over a big high-five to Westword for asking the question, which major media are ignoring, but Cole slipped out of it, as […]
As the Colorado Independent’s John Tomasic reports: “I really have no idea what he is talking about,” Republican Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Sheila Reiner told the Colorado Independent. Reiner was referring to allegations made again recently by Secretary of State Scott Gessler that non-citizens are registered to vote in the state. Reiner said she […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Every time Secretary of State Scott Gessler alleges outright voter fraud in Colorado, I think to myself, this has to be the last time he says this, unless he produces evidence to back it up. And then he says it again, like he did on KLZ’s Grassroots Radio Colorado […]
In the little over one year that Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler has been in office, we’ve heard a few times–strictly in anecdotes, or on background–about real tension between Gessler and other Republicans at high levels in state government. You might remember, for example, that Gessler abandoned his plans to “moonlight” at the Hackstaff […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Since day one in office, Gessler has had a number of problems as well a problem with numbers, as in figures. First, you recall, it was his salary figure. Too low. Then he said there was the “pretty high incidence” of fraud (implying a BIG number) in Denver’s 2009 […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) There’s a good chance someone is going to say something newsworthy when they preface it with, “some folks in my office cringed when I said this, but I’m going to say it again.” That’s what Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler told the a GOP group, as reported by […]
Last year at this time, Colorado’s then-newly elected Secretary of State Scott Gessler was just beginning to recover from a major scandal that hobbled his first weeks in office. Gessler had announced in mid-January of 2011 his intention to continue working for his old elections-specialty law firm, the Hackstaff Law Group (formerly Hackstaff Gessler). After […]
Federal Lawsuit Seeks to End Colorado’s Unconstitutional Election Practices Aspen activist enjoins a group of CO voters to file a fed lawsuit against PoS Sec. Scottie and clerks in Boulder, Chaffee, Eagle, Jefferson, Larimer and Mesa counties. Seems there’s a problem with election practices that allow some ballots to be traced back to the supposedly […]
A Worldnet Daily article Tues. reported that there’s a “movement in Colorado petitioning Secretary of State Scott Gessler to remove Obama’s name from the ballot in November.” Did this mean that activists here are trying to pass a law, like the one in Georgia and other states, requiring all political candidates to prove eligibility for […]
If you can hardly believe it, there’s a good reason–the Pueblo Chieftain’s Patrick Malone: A crosscheck of ballots cast in Colorado and Kansas in [the 2010] election showed six people voted in both states, according to Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler. Half of those who voted in both states cast ballots in the 3rd […]
Today, the Denver paper’s Sara Burnett reports that Secretary of State Scott Gessler has issued a rule on campaign finance reporting requirements for primary elections. Due to a legislative mistake when the dates for primary elections were moved up, Gessler had issued a rule that did away with the bi-weekly reports primary campaigns were required […]
The Durango Herald’s Joe Hanel reports on yesterday’s packed hearing in Denver to discuss Secretary of State Scott Gessler’s proposed campaign finance rule changes: Secretary of State Scott Gessler is moving to simplify and loosen the rules for when people who run ballot campaigns have to publicly disclose their finances… Activists on the left argued […]
