Under Colorado law, perjury occurs when a person fabricates or states false information while under oath. It doesn't necessarily have to occur in a court of law. Perjury offenses range from a Class 4 Felony to a Class 1 Petty Offense, depending on the circumstances of the act.

I guess it depends on the document that Buck was trying to get the guy to sign. False certification of election results sounds pretty serious to me.
