1. Pete Lee had the benefit of a full investigation that took years while he continued to serve and Democrat leadership knew. Hisey deserves the same fairness.

   1. But there's always Loren "Ron" Hanks' residency issues.

      1. Loren's residency status takes whatever form you need it to —

           * Perhaps he lives in a Post Office Box in Penrose (which was not even in his District)

           * Perhaps he lives somewhere in the Cañon City area but no one knows because his address is protected

           * Perhaps he still lives in California

         Or maybe the question is – what seat of power is he seeking now and does it matter where he lives?

   2. Did Lee have an election coming up when dealing with them?

   3. Okay … Maybe it is a question of how such a prosecution might be triggered:  “It requires a voter in the district to file a legal complaint, and then post a surety bond of at least $13,000 to cover any court costs should the challenge fail.”

      In the meantime, I guess I can understand a Republican DA wanting to have a full investigation of a Republican Senator and not take action before the election. But a few people may want to refer back to a statement from the Colorado Republicans:

      “It’s a good thing Democrat Senator Pete Lee isn’t running for re-election because he doesn’t deserve to represent the people of Colorado for another term after blatantly lying to voters about his voter registration,” said party chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown. “With all the questions regarding our elections, our elected officials should be the ones who are helping build faith in our elections, not undermining them.”

      That helping to build faith in our elections stuff can obviously wait.
