Message from the Chair
Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler has been so wrong, so many times, that it appears that someone has finally got his attention. I doubt it was his staff. They would have been responsible for advice regarding the post-election moonlighting appeal, the reducing of fines levied on his own political party, the fundraising to pay the fines his office reduced on (and for) his own political party. the dunk tank, and the war on Colorado's sporadic voters.
I learned today that the voters deactivated by Secretary of State Gessler's recent rulings can update, or re-register, at and get a ballot for this October's election mailed to their home. This respite from the earlier rulings might last for three weeks. It might not. Encourage every voter to check their current status at GoVoteColorado.com or walk in to the Larimer County service center listed at VoteLarimer.org.
