Can I make my Colorado voter information confidential?
2017-07-09
[TheDenverChannel] If you’re concerned about what the Trump administration’s controversial Election Integrity Commission might do with your personal voting records when Colorado hands over what it’s legally bound to do later this month, there are a few remedies, but you have to meet certain criteria to have your information be made confidential.

Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams reiterated Wednesday that he would hand over to the commission what he is already required to give to anyone under state law: a voter’s full name, address, party affiliation and date the person registered, phone number, gender identity, birth year, and information about if a person has voted in prior elections.

He said he wouldn’t hand over a voter’s Social Security number or full date of birth--two things the commission requested but will not get, as those things are not public record in Colorado.

It's possible to de-register to vote, though the Denver Elections Division advises against doing so.

Colorado says there are more than 2,500 active participants in the Address Confidentiality Program, and that more than 4,000 people have used the service since it started in July 2008.

The state says it plans to send the voter rolls over to the commission by 8 a.m. July 14.

#5  In Colorado, there are lots of resort towns in the mountains full of timeshares. Not surprisingly, these towns all have more than 100% voter registration. Use your imagine.

#4  How can we allow these states to send representatives to Congress and the Electoral College if they refuse to properly certify their elections? Why should all of the rest of the states allow voter fraud in New York and California to determine who will be the president? These are such obvious questions that it hurts.

#3  I'm happy with this. Verify things are clean, and if not, nail the offenders to the wall.

#2  Hard to withdraw if you've been dead since 1990 but still voted in every election since. What Trump is doing is delegitimizing the "No voter fraud" arguments with every Sec'ty of State that refuses to comply.

#1  Given that most states sell the info to commercial third parties, its a little late bumpkins.
