El Paso elections chief warns Caldara: "You better darn well plan on really" living here

Speaking on a Colorado Springs radio station yesterday morning (listen @28:35), El Paso Country Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams warned political stunt man Jon Caldara that he "better darn well plan on really" living in Colorado Springs, or he'll be prosecuted.

Williams: Caldara decided he was going to highlight this problem. Again, he better have really – I understand he’s got a lease. He’s planning on residing there, and as he said, “checking out the Springs.” And we welcome him to our community. We are happy to have legitimate people who are living here live here. But you better darn well plan on really doing that!

Caldara, who lives in Boulder, cast a blank ballot Saturday in the recall election of CO Springs Sen. John Morse, saying he's renting a room in the recall district

On KVOR's Richard Randall show, Williams said he'll determine after the election if "someone lied" about living in Morse's district, and then voted. And "if they did, they can be prosecuted for a felony." 

Williams: But, what you have then, is a system that says, under the law, if I really do move there, I can vote. Now, the challenge is, we have no verification of that beforehand. What we will do is investigate. And we will find out if someone lied. And if they did, they can be prosecuted for a felony…. And that’s what we intend to do, Richard. We intend to prosecute.

Randall agreed with Williams, saying:

Randall: And I would say this: whether it’s Caldara or anybody else – some union thug from Boulder who does it, if it turns out you lied and you wanted to participate in an election, you had no business doing it, and you didn’t follow up by actually being honest about your intentions, I do want Clerk and Recorders like Wayne Williams and prosecutors like Dan May and John Suthers to hit you with a felony.

You have to appreciate Randall standing up against voter fraud, and nudging fellow conservative Williams along in the same direction.

Maybe Randall will inspire Peter Boyles, over on KNUS in Denver, to apologize for telling callers yesterday to commit felony voter fraud.

    1. And for anyone wondering what I mean — Williams knowingly abetted the committing of a felony, since he was well aware of Caldara's plan to commit perjury and vote fraud and did nothing to stop it (including handing him a second ballot when the first one was rejected).

  2. The only way out I can see for Caldara is to actually permanently move to the Springs now. I'll bet if he stays in SD-11, buys a real house, changes his car registration, moves the kids…

    Damn but he fucked up, didn't he?

  3. Here's what's at stake:

    Caldara has Republican lawyers on retainer, up the yin-yang. He's not going to do any time, no matter what. Wishful thinking on our parts, I'm afraid. He has little to lose, and a lot to gain.

    The people who foolishly follow Caldara's lead, not so much. If they don't have the resources to maintain two residences in two different districts, and hire lawyers to defend them, they're S O. L.

    But, if the recalls fail, which I think that they will, and HB1303 is allowed to become unchallenged voting law in Colorado…. Imagine  Colorado’s Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act being used as a model in other swing states 

    .imagine North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Mississippi, Florida with all-mail-ballot elections, portable voter registration, no becoming an "inactive" voter if you skip an election. No more long lines, no effect if polling locations are limited. Students, elderly, disabled, working people enfranchised with a pen stroke.

     Cheaper, more efficient, more accurate and verifiable elections. More democratic elections (small d and big D democratic). What would happen to half of the Republicanefforts to suppress the vote then? 

    That's why all this is worth it for Caldara and his backers.
