ACLU has an active letter writing campaign to the CO SOS against our suggested rule changes to secure the integrity of our vote. Email [email protected] by close of business today with the following to counter their effort: As a Colorado voter it is important to me that voting is convenient and secure. I am NOT in favor of delivering a mail ballot to every registered voter in the state. Voting is a right and it comes with certain responsibilities. Allowing others to harvest ballots encourages and opens the door to fraudulent behavior that will compromise the integrity of my vote and the entire process. Should somebody need such assistance, it is MOST appropriate and necessary to to disclose the name of the person to whom they give their ballot for return so we can secure the chain of custody and monitor for abuse. Some safeguards in place are no longer mandatory, thanks to recent legislation, including signature checks by election judges. There is no legitimate reason why an eligible voter should opposes having to swear that they have marked their ballot in private unless they are not doing so. This rule must stand. None of these provisions interfere with ones fundamental right to vote, but it does jeopardize the integrity of votes cast by others. I request that proposed rule 7.2.6 be adopted.
