Another deceased Pueblo County voter receives a “voter ID” card; County Clerk Bo Ortiz says he doesn’t know why


Ortiz insists there’s no evidence to indicate anyone has committed voter fraud… “I can’t imagine that anybody would think that it’s worth it.”


 


The Pueblo Chieftain reports:


 


But why was a deceased 91-year-old man mailed a card? Ortiz said his office compares names with the Department of Public Health and Environment, which tracks those who have died. Ortiz said he doesn’t know why the card was mailed to Knez.


 


Curtis said she worries that someone could have gone through her mail, which she says has happened before, and stolen her father’s ID card. “I think identification, ID, driver’s license, whatever you have should be shown along with that piece of paper. They’re just assuming that’s you. That’s not right,” Curtis said.


 


KRDO-TV also learned that a 79-year-old woman, Helen Lucero, from Pueblo was sent a yellow card, more than a year after she passed away.


 


What “evidence” of voter fraud does Ortiz think there would be if Mr. Knez or Ms. Lucero “voted,” or rather, if someone else fraudulently voted using their paper ID cards?  Certainly the fraud wouldn’t be detected at the polls, and with zero chance of being caught, one can “imagine” any number of fraudsters might “think it’s worth it.”  They wouldn’t be the first.
