From the Denver Post: Secretary of State Scott Gessler said
Friday his office had found 35 noncitizens who have voted in Colorado
elections, but in the face of criticism over how his office has tried to
identify them, Gessler said he would not move forward with proposed
regulations to deal with suspected noncitizen voters until after the
election.
Gessler, a Republican, blamed the federal government for
not giving him access to a Department of Homeland Security database
quickly enough to check the citizenship status of registered voters.
Critics on the left questioned whether even the finding of 35 people
identified as noncitizens was accurate, saying the federal database
sometimes is in error.
"We confirmed our current voter
registration has vulnerabilities," Gessler said in a statement. "It is
unfortunate the federal government dragged its feet for a year, putting
us in a difficult position for the coming November election. For now, we
will evaluate the effectiveness of the current challenge provisions,
while we develop better procedures for the future."
