From the Denver Post: At least 88 percent of the approximately
1,400 suspected noncitizens run through a federal database by the
Colorado Secretary of State's office were determined to be U.S.
citizens, and are therefore eligible to vote.
The office is
looking further at the remaining roughly 168 people, but that list may
also include people who are citizens, said Michael Hagihara of the
state's elections division.
The results of the checks so far were
released during a public hearing on how Secretary of State Scott
Gessler's office will notify suspected noncitizens and conduct hearings
on whether they should be removed from Colorado's voter rolls.
Martha
Tierney, an attorney who represents the Colorado Democratic Party,
noted that the number of voters still in question equals less than
one-hundredth of 1 percent of Colorado's approximately 3.5 million
registered voters.
"This appears to be a solution searching for a problem," she said.
But Deputy Secretary if State Suzanne Staiert said there is good reason to move forward.
"We are trying to maintain the integrity of the rolls," she said.

The Democrats should be demanding that 0% of the voters should be illegal aliens or other non-resident voters. For every illegal vote cast, it disenfranchises a legally cast ballot. Why don't they understand that?
