Request that SOSo compel Boulder County to release information.

Secretary of State Dennis,

Boulder County is hiding important election information from the public.

This travesty has been going on for more than a year. Recent evidence, August 2005 – May 2006, is attached and summarized below.

Before the HART vote counting equipment was purchased, Linda Salas, the Boulder County Clerk, told the commissioners and the public in a public hearing that ballot serial numbers and bar codes would be recorded on removable ballot stubs. This is not true.

It appears that the clerk’s office is working to block timely legal action against their illegal use of marked ballots.

Is it your duty to intervene? If so, please do. If not, who is the responsible party that can compel Boulder County to respond to our request for this vital election information?

April 10, 2006 – Kolwicz to Bailey. Colorado Open Records Request.

We wish to know whether the paper ballots to be used for the August 2006 election and the November 2006 election will be marked by the county/vendor/printer in any way whereby the ballot can be uniquely identified. This would include identifying numbers, bar codes, and/or any other marking that can be used to identify a particular ballot.

If they are on the ballot that is issued to the voter, then we wish to know if all such identifying markings are removed from the ballot before the ballot is cast.
