Noted briefly by the Colorado Springs Independent's J. Adrian Stanley, with an amusing twist:
Jon Caldara's ballot was the most famous to be forwarded to the 4th Judicial District Attorney's Office — because of suspected voter fraud — following the Sen. John Morse recall.
Also among those whose ballots were forwarded: my husband's…
Stanley reports that her husband's ballot was rejected due to inconsistencies in with the signature compared to others on file. The case was referred to the El Paso County District Attorney's office, who contacted them and ultimately accepted the explanation that the ballot was legitimately cast.
More interesting than this reporter's husband's ballot is this relayed detail from the El Paso County Clerk's office: of the 17,943 ballots cast in the Senate District 11 recall election last month, only 18 ballots have been referred to prosecutors for further investigation, presumably including Independence Institute President Jon Caldara's openly fraudulent "civil disobedience" ballot. The flood of Caldara-style "gypsy voters" never materialized–and even if they had, the clerk has a ready means of enforcement, as demonstrated by the DA's office chasing down voters. Caldara may yet supply a much higher profile example of the stiff consequences of election fraud.
It's simple: the House Bill 1303 election system, despite all the dire warnings and felonious "stunts," does work.

So when do we find out if Jonnie gets the perp walk? I hope it's soon, but the statute of limitations is a couple years I believe.
So you supported arresting every Occupy doucher who stepped off the curb, right?
Liberals are so nasty and vindictive.
Something must have finally snapped, probably from stretching so hard to turn everything, no matter what, into an anti-"libtard" insult or talking point. You're comment makes no sense in any context.
Why do you waste your time posting on here? You are a right wing nut who isn't wanted here. You're probably some zit faced gun nut living in his mom's basement.
Scott Gessler has convinced us that vote fraud is a serious problem. So we support his efforts to prosecute every clear case of fraud. And Caldara is a clear case. So yes, in support of you Republicans we want to see him prosecuted.
Isn't it nice that we're agreeing with you?
nota, bc said that n3b's comment made no sense, which it didn't. Still, we have no idea what N3b's private life or appearance is.
When a right wing troll did the same thing to me, people jumped on his case. Please try to confine your criticism to posted comments and ideas, rather than speculate on how people live or look in their own lives.
Heh. I bet he looks like a douchebag…
So I'm not a hopeless putz, after all?
Never said you were. There's plenty of hope for you I don't think that either of us is great at that "agree to disagree" thing…..
