CBS4 Investigation Finds Dead Voters Casting Ballots In Colorado

[Revmitchell]

DENVER (CBS4) – A CBS4 investigation has found multiple cases of dead men and women voting in Colorado months and in some cases years after their deaths, a revelation that calls into question safeguards designed to prevent such occurrences.

“We do believe there were several instances of potential vote fraud that occurred,” said Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams after reviewing the CBS4 findings. “It shows there is the potential for fraud.”

The cases of dead men and women casting ballots ranged from El Paso County in southern Colorado to Denver and Jefferson County. CBS4 discovered the fraudulent voting by comparing databases of voting histories in Colorado against a federal death database.

The CBS4 investigation has triggered criminal investigations in El Paso and Jefferson counties along with a broad investigation by the Colorado Secretary of State’s office.

That would never happen in the Deep South.... I mean that it would only just now be discovered to have existed.

Vote early and vote often is our motto.

Colorado is progressive enough that the obvious solution, which no doubt they will see their way clear to enact soon—I say this with the sincerest sarcasm I can muster—is to legalize it. They can make it part of reparations. It probably won't give them any other rights, but it might lead to the unborn being formally recognized as an exception to underage voting restrictions.
