BROOMFIELD — A five-year ban on fracking in Broomfield is now the battleground over changes in state voter registration rules, scrutiny of processes used to determine voter eligibility and disputes over the role of election watchers.
The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office released a report Wednesday criticizing Broomfield’s election process, citing issues such as “illegally and improperly updating voters’ residential addresses; illegally issuing ballots from drop-off locations away from the clerk’s office; improperly counting ballots cast by ineligible electors; and improperly rejecting ballots cast by eligible electors.”
The report states that “though the certification is complete, the secretary of state believes the people of Broomfield deserve an accurate accounting of the conduct of the election.”
The secretary of state’s office cannot take any legal action, but spokesman Andrew Cole said “interested parties” can use the information if they choose to pursue legal action.
