Lawsuit: Thousands of voters illegally purged in Colorado

Election watchdog groups are accusing the Colorado Secretary of State of purging up to 30,000 voters in violation of federal law.Common Cause of Colorado, Mi Familia Vota, and the Service Employees International Union have filed suit in U.S. District Court in Denver. The suit seeks to prevent any more voters from being removed in violation of the National Voting Rights Act of 1993, which mandates that a voter cannot be removed from the rolls less than 90 days before an election except due to felony conviction, death, incapacitation or a specific request to be removed. Also sought is a preliminary injunction to restore the names of those removed. The case is expected to be heard Wednesday morning. (A PDF copy of the complaint is available at THIS LINK.)CSU student Alexandra Vitale is one voter whose registration was nullified with no explanation: "I said to them...I'm not dead, and I haven't moved, so why did this happen? And they said they didn't know." Voters unable to re-register in time will be allowed to cast provisional ballots and challenge their county clerk's office. LinkHere
