Colorado actually believes there is such a thing as an inactive voter? No. Either a person is a voter or is not a voter and that is the end of it. The only thing that makes a registered voter inactive is death. Relocation is a concern, but, there is dearly little voter fraud in the USA in this new millenium.
Colorado and states like Colorado that are putting all kinds of restrictions on voting to EFFECT and OPPRESS election results are doing unconstitutionally.
Voting is a Right. Every available means to INSURE the vote to citizens has to be executed in order to provide a constitutional result to any election, otherwise, the election has to be declared null and void, especially, IF THERE IS A PATTERN.
States such as Colorado are defrauding the laws to uphold voting rights.
If Secretarys of State are willing to defraud voter laws to oppress an election outcome, what does that say about the people placed in that office? They know they won't be re-elected?
Rep. Charlie Gonzalez wants Justice Department to probe military ballot controversy (click title to entry - thank you)
A Texas congressman urged the Justice Department to investigate actions by the Colorado secretary of state that he says will deny active duty military personnel the right to vote.
Rep. Charlie Gonzalez, D-San Antonio, said failure to send out ballots to eligible voters prior to the Nov. 1, 2011 state election could be a violation of the Voting Rights Act.
“It is the responsibility of every public official to ensure that eligible citizens are not denied that right,” said Gonzalez, a member of the House Administration subcommittee on elections.
Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler said his decision was “an order from the Secretary of State not to send mail ballots to inactive – failed to vote UOCAVA electors.” Translated into English, that means “Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act” — referring to military or overseas voters who did not vote in the last general election.
Gessler says he is seeking a court injunction to voter fraud. But Gonzalez, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, is not convinced....
The Republicans tried some of this stupid stuff in Wisconsin and it back fired. As a general rule, most citizens don't like to have their rights toyed with.

It’s not just local political observers who think Colorado will be key. In a front page story today, The New York Times reports that Obama’s hopes for a second term may come down to Colorado and a couple of other states....
