How stupid can a secretary of state be? If you have 20,000 felony convictions per year, I'd imagine you'd have 20,000 felons ineligible to vote. Not exactly rocket science dearie.

How do these people get a paycheck?

"How do these people get a paycheck?"

From the taxpayers.

Silly question Blackdog.

To be fair to Ms. Davidson, the voter registration rolls are maintained and vetted at the county level. The felony conviction/parole numbers are, no doubt, carried at the state level. And there has probably never been a serious effort to cross-check the databases.

I think what this points out is the need to start from scratch: toss out all voter registrations, and require everybody to re-register. Not just in Colorado, but everywhere.

And, as part of the registration process, voters should be required to provide, and the counties to check, information necessary to prove that the registrant is in fact eligible to vote.

Not so simple. Only a handful of states permanently bar felons from voting, so while you're convicting X number of felons a year, Y number of felons are at the same time regaining their voting rights.

In all fairness she did catch the error and appears to be dealing with it. The problem are these registration drives that willingly register ineligible voters. Since SoS Davidson is a Pubbie we can count on the MSM screaming racism and disenfranchisement.
