CBS4 Investigation Finds Dead Voters Casting Ballots In Colorado
2016-09-24
[DENVER.CBSLOCAL] A CBS4 investigation has found multiple cases of dead men and women voting in Colorado months and in some cases years after their deaths, a revelation that calls into question safeguards designed to prevent such occurrences.

"We do believe there were several instances of potential vote fraud that occurred,"
No. If they were dead when "they" submitted their votes, that is actual vote fraud that occurred. The only potential is the number of times each of these known corpses voted, which unknown living people made it happen, and how many unknown corpses aided by unknown living people also voted unknown times.
said Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams after reviewing the CBS4 findings. "It shows there is the potential for fraud."
That, too. Which is why scrupulously keeping the voter rolls up to date, strictly limiting absentee voting, and requiring photo I.D. on voting day are all critical.
The cases of dead men and women casting ballots ranged from El Paso County in southern Colorado to Denver and Jefferson County. CBS4 discovered the fraudulent voting by comparing databases of voting histories in Colorado against a federal death database.

The CBS4 investigation has triggered criminal investigations in El Paso and Jefferson counties along with a broad investigation by the Colorado Secretary of State’s office.

"It’s not a perfect system. There are some gaps," acknowledged Williams.

One of the most glaring cases was that of Sara Sosa in Colorado Springs. She died on Oct. 14, 2009. However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
 CBS4 uncovered voting records that showed ballots cast for Sosa in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Her husband, Miguel, died on Sept. 26, 2008. But CBS4 unearthed records showing that a vote was cast in his name the next year, 2009.
Fascinating.

#3  6 months after any gubernatorial election all voter registrations are cleared. Everyone must re-register to retain the vote. That's a purge every 4 years to clean out the deadwood. Cross check it with DMV records (that include street IDs*) and jury duty files. That'll keep a lot of party hacks busy.

Does the author of that statement mean that these dead people may actually have voted? This would be an important discovery of previously unknown powers of ghosts, and an exciting contribution to science.
If not, then the facts claimed by CBS4 mean there definitely was voter fraud.
Why the word "potential"? Does the author believes in zombies?

I'd bet dollars to donuts that the significant majority of the "several instances of vote fraud" voted Democrat.
