The mess in Colorado keeps getting messier: Voter ID card sent to deceased Pueblo man.
Colorado is set to become the voter fraud capital of the United States. The move to all mail ballots with automatic send-out will create an environment more conducive to fraud than in any American election in decades, if not longer. Of course this is a familiar pattern: make election law changes under the guide of “making it easier to vote” while at the same time making if extraordinarily easy to commit fraud. It need not be organized fraud. The new law in Colorado creates incentives for discrete small frauds to occur all over the state, uncoordinated, but numerous. It is a fraud almost impossible to detect because of the lack of conspirators or structures to execute the fraud. The automatic mailing to ever registered voter (including voters recently converted from inactive to active voters) is a large scale attack on the integrity of elections in Colorado. Advocates for the new law are more interested in pumping millions of untracked ballots out into the public than they are the ramifications of their law. It demonstrates the lengths the advocates for “making voting easier” will go regardless of the risks. It should serve as a warning to other state legislators that even unreasonable proposals can become law when this crowd pushes.
