[mailto:Dana.Williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Mr. Kolwicz: This e-mail is to acknowledge your
request for a regulatory analysis of the Voting System Standards and
Certification rules. The elections staff will be working on your request
and pursuant to C.R.S. 24-4-103(4.5)(c) it will be provided to
you and our rulemaking contact list at least five days prior to the rulemaking
hearing. The statutory requirements governing
mail ballot elections are set out in sections 1-7.5-101 through 1-7.5-112,
Colorado Revised Statutes. The specific provisions governing the Secretary
of State's approval of mail ballot plans are set out in 1-7.5-105, C.R.S. So
far as we are aware, there are no provisions in these statutes that authorize
an administrative appeal of the Secretary of State's approval of a mail
ballot plan. Your opportunity for public
participation concerning the voting system rules is through the
rulemaking process. The Secretary of State has announced a rulemaking
hearing schedule for October 31, 2005 at 1:30 p.m. to take public testimony for
our rules concerning certification of voting equipment. The
hearing is located in the Blue Spruce Room at 1700 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80290.
Written and oral data, comments and arguments, will be received form all
interested parties. Written submissions must be filed at or before the
commencement of the hearing on October 31, 2005 at 1:30 p.m. in order to
be considered. The Secretary of State staff has completed
a draft of the rules and they are posted on our website. We
hope you can submit your comments or attend the hearing to give us your
feedback concerning the rules. As you are already aware, the Secretary
of State adopted emergency rules concerning the voting system standards on
October 3, 2005. The rule, notice of adoption, and statement of
basis, purpose, and emergency justification are posted online. Thank you, Dana Jaclyn Williams -----Original Message----- Ms. Williams, We wish to appeal the decision documented
in Mr. Compton’s September 21st response to our complaint to
Gigi Dennis regarding Boulder County’s mail ballot plan for the election
to be held on November 1, 2005.
We are hoping that the new Secretary of
State will take a personal interest in this opportunity to demonstrate that she
will be the people’s representative. Al Kolwicz CAMBER Citizens for Accurate Mail Ballot Election Results 2867 Tincup Circle Boulder, CO 80305 303-494-1540 www.users.qwest.net/~alkolwicz
