Gessler is not happy about this. It's the Democrat's horribly written law that's the problem. Gessler tried to fix it with rules and was shot down. There will be legislation to fix these problems next year, but that won't protect us from shenanigans in the billion dollar tax hike vote in November.
Hah!
If the law says you have to live in the district for a month prior to the election and you can prove it, and swear under penalty of perjury that you are a "permanent" (i.e. long-term) resident of the district, then you can vote.
That holds whether you make the residency period one day, one month, or one year. It was even true under land ownership voting rules – buy a piece of land, gain the right to vote.
Gessler knows what he's saying is false – and I'm guessing so do you, n3b. But your idol Mr. Caldera might go to jail, lose his voting rights and his ability to own a firearm over a stunt trying to mislead the citizens of our state into thinking otherwise, so now everyone's on the defensive…
(PS – believing Secretary of State Gessler on matters of vote fraud is historically not a good bet.)
Just to clarify your comment, of the 64 county clerks and recorders in Colorado about 80% of them are Republicans. Almost everyone of the 64 supported the "Democrat's horribly written law." Obvioulsy, it was a bipartisan effort to write and pass HB13-1303.
Mr. Gessler did not write rules to "fix" the legislation. His emergency rules were shot down because he abrogated statutes on the one hand and rewrote them on another. Specifically, CRS `1-7.5-107(4)(b)(1)(B) allows each voter to collect up to ten ballots from voters and return them to the clerk and recorder. This allows GOTV efforts to collect and deposit ballots with local election officials. That statute was on the books before HB13-1303 was enacted this year. In his emergency rule 32.7(f) promulgated on August 23, 2013, Mr. Gessler wrote that statute out of existence even though there was no reason to do so. Judge McGahey rightfully though otherwise.
Second, Mr. Gessler promulgated Rule 32.7.3(D)(2), (3) which rewrote the residency requirements for voter registration for soldiers and students. He rquired a soldier to state that he/she intended to reside where they reside at the time of registration when they retire from the military. That could be 18, 20 or 24 years down the road. No state, none, including Colorado, has ever required a statement of future intent to register to vote. Can you imagine a secretary of state, anywhere in the United States, promulgating a rule or regulation that was designed to prevent our soldiers from voting. The people who defend us everyday overseas and put their lives on the line for us shouldn't be allowed to vote according to Mr. Gessler.
Do you really believe someone like him who thinks like that should be the governor of Colorado. I don't.
Golly 3b can't you just take your gun and shoot the problem?
Gessler's proven over a span he's willing to lie and say anything he needs to achieve his ends.I'd expect his defenders/supporters share those traits.
