Possible Voter Fraud Crops Up in Colorado Recall Election

Poll workers in Colorado have been seeing what they call "fishy" behavior from college students dropping off backpacks full of ballots ahead of Tuesday's recall election. Revealing Politics has the video:


Recall Transparency Project - Turning in tens of ballots at a time

Meanwhile, liberals in the state and against the recall, are acting as respectfully as you might expect. More from Kelly Maher:

The morning of the first day of recall voting in the John Morse recall election in Colorado Springs, CO one of our livestream cameras got video of two guys taking pro-recall yard signs. It’s important to note that these signs were outside the 100 ft. electioneering prohibition zones that are set up around the entrance of every voting location.

Revealing Politics Recall Transparency - Sign Removal

Last year, efforts were made in Colorado to strengthen voter identification laws. Those efforts were unsuccessful.

Colorado's Republican legislators, with backing from Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler, unsuccessfully attempted to tighten the state's voter identification laws last year by requiring a photo ID to vote.

Last month, Gessler announced he sent out letters to about 300 more registered voters asking them to prove their citizenship.

Gessler has also continued to stump for new voter fraud measures in Colorado, saying that in states that have implemented photo-ID laws, fears of voter suppression have not materialized. Opponents of such laws say they unfairly affect minority voters.
UPDATE: I was able to get in touch with Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler who said although people can drop off ten ballots at a time legally, the legislature has denied him and election officials the tools they need to verify fraud isn't taking place. Tools needed range from requiring photo identification to verification of residency.

"The Colorado Legislature has denied you the tools to verify that people are doing things properly," Gessler said. "We're seeing the problems an election can have because of it."

Imagine if someone in a tea party shirt showed up and dropped off a backpack full of ballots. Every newspaper in the country would run it on the front page.

Who would have thought the DemonRATs would use vote fraud?

I remain completely unsurprised.

I would have been surprised if there were no reports of vote fraud from the commies.

My niece told me that her classmates at Western MICHIGAN University were filling out Scott Walker recall petitions by the hundred last year.

In Colorado since the passage of HB 1303 - voter fraud is now legal! Democrat mischief in the capitol leads to fraudulent elections. Sen. Morse is an evil schemer who has done much to bring fraud, tyranny and corruption to Colorado. If the election is fair he will be handed his head, but that is a big IF.

Possible voter fraud? If there are Democrats involved, then there’s voter fraud. Count on it.

The ballots delivered in this manner should be pitched in the
dumpster.

Student voters should be allowed to vote in their parents district.

So it appears that the recall election will be for nought.

The new Soviet style elections will be in full force before the 2014 midterms. The end of the Republic.

Surely the left would never pad the vote. That would be dishonest. They would never cheat. Were the people delivering the backpacks full of ballots even students. How would anyone know if they were students or who filled out the ballots. Asking for ID would be racist, homophobic, just downright mean, and Un-American

This has been going on for so long.

The idiot slaves in the Republican party let it happen and never do anything about.

So why do they get concerned when I don't vote for them anymore?

I'm one of those "missing white voters" having left the party since 2002.

If they can't be bothered to combat obvious fraud, then why should I be bothered to vote for them?

Who is stupid enough to keep sending them any money?

Backpack of ballots? What backpack of ballots?

Don't count them.

Find them after the election in someones closet, or a dumpster, maybe a hookah lounge....

What's the use of being a liberal if you can't lie, cheat, and steal?
--- and election fraud has elements of all three.
