Typical Scott Gessler and typical right-wing whacko Republican statement. In the Republican world, if ideology says its a disaster, it is regardless of the objective facts supporting the exact opposite conclusion. SOS Gessler was vehemently against HB13-1303 that put Colorado elections, begining with latest one held last Tuesday, on an all mail-in ballot system. Since Republican ideology deemed such a system as a disater for the state, it therefore was a disaster in the 2013 election because, once again, ironclad ideology said it was.
Now to the questions for SOS Gessler. What precisely was the technological disaster you refer to that happened on Tuesday, November 5, 2013?
How did the public policy enacted into law through HB13-1303 that changed our elections from 74% to 100% mail-in ballots represent a public policy disaster on Tuesday, November 5, 2013?
Surely, Mr. Secretary, as a long time election law lawyer and with three years experience as secretary of state you can point to specific facts that occurred during the 2013 election cycle that support your accusations the recent election was a public policy and technology disaster.
Please respond.
First off, it's too early to say if fraud was committed. That will take weeks for clerks to sort out.
Second, to armchair quarterback the Secretary of State's workload is ridiculous. You don't know how many people he has or what he's doing. I've heard this was a major impediment for the SoS and the clerks. Only difference is, the clerks backed the bill and are keeping their mouths shut.
So, are you saying, the Republican and Democratic clerks and their staffs, totaling at least hundreds of individuals, are in a conspiracy of silence to cover-up a public policy and technolgy disaster?
Since you seem to at imply you know something what public policy and technolgy disasters occurred during the 2013 eleciton cycle?
Please respond.
It must be late Friday afternoon. I forgot to mention. Since you state:
Then you agree it's too early for SOS Gessler to declare the 2013 election was a policy disaster. Right?
Lots of people voted and there were no major glitches. But Gessler, who is SOS and ought to like great turn out with few glitches and who is Republican and ought to like the results, is perfectly justified in calling it a disaster right now even though it will take weeks to find out if any bad stuff at all actually happened. That's n3b's nonsensical spin and he's sticking to it. Yawn.
Why is it that republicans don't like it when a lot of people vote. Oh yes, it's probably because the democrat usually beats the republican in a high turnout elections. republicans love the low turnout elections because they can count on their shrinking righ wing white base to come out and vote for them. We saw what happened recently in VA when the democratic base came out to vote. The tea party nut went down!
Second paragraph, meant to say "Since you seem to at least imply you know something about what . . .
Gessler is the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen! Having spent so much of his career attempting to be part of the "establishment" cirlce, to now being an incredible critic of a group he so hoped to be a part of shows me that he has no true moral compass.
Be true to who you are Scottie! Otherwise you just look like another desperate Republican willing to do "whatever it takes" to scorch the earth for his own misguided political gain. He is in for a huge wake-up call when the populous shows what we all already know – he truly is all stetson with no cattle!
How dare anyone ANYONE critique the work of this PUBLIC official! How DARE YOU. NoobishCubed is right, he is beyond reproach simply by virtual of being a member of the Denver political elite. Or not a member of the Denver political elite, I mean. That is to say a member of the NOT-Denver political elite. He has to drive a clunker to work it’s an embarrassment! But he does it because he loves Colorado. Just as long as too many of them don't vote. That's just busy work, registering voters, and such.
I don't know what Gessler means by a voting system being a policy disaster or how one that resulted in high numbers voting with few problems or glitches could be called technical disaster. That kind of sounds like the opposite of the ACA sign up where not enough people are able to go through the process and there are lots of problems and glitches so wouldn't this election be kind of the opposite of a technical disaster?
But I'm confident Fladen can explain to us why Gessler is absolutely right to say what he said.. And it'll be full of expository and conclusory and ipso facto stuff so the rest of us may as well just surrender preemptively.
thanks for this information.but i have a same question as blue cat said.what does Gessler mean?
