Each of these election reform bills are modest in scope, but taken together they could significantly improve the accuracy of our elections and would go a long way in giving Colorado citizens more confidence in the reliability of our elections.
HB-1053 (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb21-1053), Election Recount Requests
Introduced by Rep. Williams, will allow any citizen to request a hand recount of the actual ballots. The citizen requesting the hand recount must pay all associated costs, but this bill finally puts into law a procedure for hand counting an election recount.
HB-1086 (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb21-1086), Voter Proof of Citizenship Requirement
Introduced by Rep. Luck, provides that only an elector who has provided proof of citizenship can vote in an election.
HB-1088 (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb21-1088),
Annual Audit Statewide Voter Registration System
Introduced by Rep. Pico, would require the state auditor to audit 20% of all voter registrations every year, which would mean essentially all voter registrations would be audited once every five years. The audit would require that all voter registrations be checked against other public records to verify the accuracy of each registration.
Public hearings are our best opportunity to let the legislature know what we think. It is time to let your state representative, state senator and every member of the House State Affairs Committee know that We the People expect them to take positive action on all three of these bills, TAKE ACTION NOW!!!
