"Coffman: Voter-purge article 'way off'" (Colorado voter purge)

[rockymountaindem]

"Secretary of State Mike Coffman said today that a published report was "way off" in asserting that Colorado had purged almost 37,000 people from voter registration rolls.

At a press conference today to respond to a New York Times article which said that Colorado is one of six battleground states that may be illegally purging thousands of voters from registration rolls, Coffman said the story was inaccurate.

"I have no idea where they got the numbers from," Coffman, a Republican, said.

Pat Waak, chairwoman of the Colorado Democratic Party, said her their voter data didn't match up with the Times', either. She said the party's data shows that from July through September, there were some 12,000 people whose registrations were cancelled, including about 8,000 who died or moved out of state."

What in the heck is going on here?

1. "pay no attention

to what we are really doing"

2. I believe NOTHING that Coffman says....

He's a RW hack, IMO

[rockymountaindem]

4. Nor do I

However the fact that Pat Waak, who always seems to know what she's doing, says that things aren't remiss lends the idea an air of credibility. I don't know what to make of it.

5. Agree, I was comforted by what the Dem chairperson said

3. I live in Washington st

and I got purged so I can tell you it is going on. I was able to get back in but if I hadn't checked come election day I would have been SOL.
