Colorado’s election chief was shot down by her own party leaders after demanding the Democrat-controlled legislature adopt a measure to chill future recount efforts.
Adding insult to injury, the Democrats added what we like to call the “shut up and sit down” provision telling Secretary of State Jena Griswold to stop using taxpayer dollars to promote her own vain self for reelection.
We’re giving Colorado Senate President Steve Fenberg a rare standing ovation on this one.
PeakNation will recall that Griswold blew more than $1 million in taxpayer dollars to fund a blatantly political reelection TV commercial last year featuring Griswold and former Republican SoS Wayne Williams talking about the evils of election disinformation.
The Colorado Sun reports:
The measure, Senate Bill 276, represents a rare open disagreement among two powerful, rising Democratic stars in Colorado and it hinges on the sensitive issue of election conspiracies and misinformation.
And yet, it sure looks like the misinformation and conspiracies are coming from Griswold’s office.
Fenberg rejected a legislative measure suggested by Griswold to prohibit future candidates like her nemesis Tina Peters from paying for a recount that falls outside of the automatic recount trigger.
Griswold complained it made her election employees work too hard to have to repeat the process of counting an election every two years, even though the agency was paid $100,000 by Peters’ campaign for the work.
Annie Orloff, a Griswold spokeswoman, offered this sinister explanation in a written statement to The Sun:
“These unnecessary recounts are being used by election deniers all over the country as a means to sow doubt and burden election workers to the point they are no longer willing to do these jobs.”
And yet, after a good faith Google effort, we could find no evidence of such a claim from the previous election, other than states conducting automatic recounts as required by their own laws.
Fenberg isn’t buying it, either.
“I think we want to increase confidence in our elections and not remove options for people.”
Why it matters: The money comes from an account that covers the cost of election equipment and software upgrades ..

I have done accounting/bookkeeping for over 65 years.
I WILL REFUSE TO DO YOUR BOOKS IF YOU ARE PLAYING GAMES WITH YOUR RECORDS.
EVEN the BEST employees do NOT wish to participate in a dog & pony show fraud.

Even the corrupt Dems understand that any law that nullify’s the ability to ask for or pay for any recount of future elections might just bite them in the butt in the future.
Colorado Sec of State was trying to do an Arizona Hobbs and manipulate herself into the governor’s mansion and the Legislature Democrats just shut her down! It will be interesting to watch as “hell hath no fury”...as it were.
Voting rolls have not been audited or cleaned up in years.
Massive mail in voting fraud
Mail in ballots for every voter
.... and they think the most important thing is to prevent recounts!?!?!?
Judicial Watch finds 353 U.S. counties in 29 states with voter registration rates exceeding 100%... 1.8 Million ‘Extra’ registered voters..

That should be its own thread...LOTS of interesting stats.
I am of the opinion that voter rolls should be “closed” after the Presidential innauguration.
From there, use distributed leader technology (block chain) to record all changes to the voter roll.
Start with a clean roll
Add the Secretary of State
Add the county officials that maintain the voter roll
Add voters as they are re-registered.
Add the party workers
You can send notifications of the need to re-register based on the old voter rolls if the person has voted in one of the last three elections.
Each voter that gets added must have a voter registration card with signature, current address, etc.
All deaths will be reported to the county clerk who has the responsibility to remove the voter.
Change of address cards to the post office must also be reported to the county clerk.
Changes to the voter roll can only be executed by approved individuals that provide their public key to validate the identity of the change.
Voter roll database is provided to all parties, all county clerks, daily.
This will make it much harder for anyone to cheat by obtaining an absentee or mail in ballot.
