Even though voter fraud doesn’t really exist, Colorado has found that multiple dead people vote in every election. The state started comparing voter lists against people who have died recently. They found that multiple dead people were voting all over the state.
Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams said:
“We do believe there were several instances of potential vote fraud that occurred. It shows there is the potential for fraud.”
Sara Sosa of Colorado Springs died in 2009 but records show she voted in 2010,2011,2012,and 2013. Her husband died in 2008 but he still voted in 2009.
“Somebody was able to cast a vote that was not theirs to cast,” El Paso county clerk and recorder Chuck Broerman told CBS4, saying that the problem of people voting on behalf of the dead is “very serious.”
Broerman said the Sosas remained active on voter rolls because they did not meet the criteria to have their names removed from the rolls.
According to CBS4, state voting officials can only strike names from voting rolls if names, dates of birth, and addresses match the voting record. If there are errors, election officials leave deceased people registered, leading to fraudulent votes.
Following CBS4’s investigation, the Colorado Secretary of State’s office confirmed that at least 78 dead people are registered to vote.
In last year’s Senate race nearly 5000 illegal aliens cast their vote in the election.
The revelation comes from Colorado Secretary of State, Scott Gessler. Testifying before the House Administration Committee, Gessler said his department conducted a study comparing the state’s voter registration database against driver’s license records.
After doing so they discovered 12,000 illegal aliens living in the state who were registered to vote. Of these, 5,000 actually cast votes in the last election.
Gessler told Rep. Gregg Harper, the panel’s Republican chairman, the study was a ‘disturbing wake-up call” and hoped it would prompt every state to verify its procedures to prevent illegal voting.
Responding to the report, Harper stated, “We simply cannot have an electoral system that allows thousands of non-citizens to violate the law and vote in our elections. We must do more to protect the integrity of our electoral processes.”
