Colorado: We don't need no stinking registration deadlines

Colorado Secretary of State Donetta Davidson, citingher fearof "lawsuits claiming voters are being disenfranchised if they aren't allowed to vote" essentially voided the state's October 4th voter registration deadline.

"Wait till the media hears this," said Bob Balink, the El Paso County clerk. "Just by saying you signed up somewhere, someday, you're going to get to vote."

Even before Davidson's decision, vote fraud was likely to be a problem in Colorado:

Bill Compton, of the secretary of state's office, said that so far, several hundred questionable voter-application records have been turned over to the attorney general's office. That number may reach into the low thousands, he said, but it's hard to tell just how many are a problem because some county clerks are turning cases over to local district attorneys.
