More Handfuls and More Handfuls - Voter Fraud in CO

Thousands have been reduced to "More handfuls and more handfuls"



"As we gather more handfuls and more handfuls (of potential noncitizens), we're talking about actual fraud here," he said.

Secretary of State Scott Gessler has taken his most expansive step yet to identify non citizens who may be registered to vote, filing open- records requests with jails in 10 of Colorado's largest counties for lists of anyone held on an immigration detainer since 2010.

The office then ran the names and birth dates of people on the lists — about 10,000 so far — against the state's voter-registration database.

They came up with 85 people who appear to be registered to vote, spokesman Rich Coolidge said. Of those, 29 were active voters, or had cast ballots in or since the 2010 general election.
