The former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party is charged with forgery and voter fraud for allegedly forging his wife’s[*] mail-in ballot from last year’s election, according to court records and sources.

Steven Curtis was the chairman of the state party from 1997 to 1999. He was charged Feb. 1 with one count of forgery of a public record, a fifth-degree felony, and an elections mail-in ballot offense, a misdemeanor.

Curtis spoke about voter fraud ahead of last year’s election.

"It seems to be, and correct me if I’m wrong here, but virtually every case of voter fraud I can remember in my lifetime was committed by Democrats,"

    Yeah, because it's so important that we prevent a few cases of fraud that we must make voting less easy and available.

    My father made it to the polls to vote in person when he was in his '90s.

    Cool, but there are many who can't.

    My wife's grandfather voted in his 90's. He slipped on the ice on the way out of the polling place and cracked his neck.

    He was recovering well in the local hospital he was sent to originally. The doctors said he would recover with very few problems.

    he was then transfered to a VA hospital. He was a WWI vet. He got a staph infection at the VA and died shortly afterwards.

    Making it easier to vote is a good thing for citizens. Making it difficult to vote is a good thing for politicians.
