Left Cries Fraud After Caldara Casts Gypsy Vote in Recall Election
Colorado Observer ^ | 9 sept 2013

COLO. SPRINGS—At least one gypsy voter cast a ballot Saturday in the recall election of Senate President John Morse.

Longtime Boulder resident Jon Caldara declared it was his intention to live in District 11 in Colorado Springs, provided an address, signed an affidavit—and then received a ballot. For the record, he didn’t mark it.

“I went in there and voted a blank ballot to make sure there was no distraction from the point of this, which is how easy it is to move around voters to different districts where they’re needed,” said Caldara, president of the Independence Institute. “The big question was, ‘Can I get a ballot?’ And the answer is, ‘Yes, I can, and it’s perfectly legal.’”

He was immediately accused of voter fraud by Amy Runyon-Harms, executive director of ProgressNow Colorado, who issued a statement calling on El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams to refer the incident to the district attorney “for prosecution as a felony crime

Pretty soon the left is going to be demanding Voter ID in this recall election...

Hey leftists - how do you feel now that almost 100 Philly voting districts had ZERO votes for Romney and had more people voting than on the voting rolls...

From the article (Colorado ping):

the newly enacted Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act, approved by Democrats with no Republican votes, allows Colorado voters who live in one district to cast ballots in another simply by affirming their intent to move to the district.

Just points out the need for voter I.D. to prevent fraud.

I used to live in Kickapoo, Kansas, a ghost town on the Missouri River. Kickapoo earned its place in history for massive voter fraud in the fight over the admission of Kansas into the union as a free or a slave state. Voters in the thousands were shipped across the Missouri from Weston to vote for slave state status. They were Democrats, imagine that.

Democrats approved the elections law with no Republican votes.

the new law eliminates the 29-day voter-registration period and replaces it with same-day voter registration.

Caldara suspects the change was made by design, not by accident, in order to allow party power-brokers to shift voters from safe districts to toss-up districts in close elections.

“This law has made it so you can move voters around to where they’re needed,” he said.

So Caldera didn’t even cast a vote, but instead exposed the “flaw” in the system and now the Dems want to prosecute him.

Wouldn't help in this case. The law in Colorado appears to allow him to do exactly what he did, regardless of ID issues.
