Lawsuit Claims CO Ballot Signature Match Disenfranchises Many Voters


Lawful Votes are Unconstitutionally Discarded in Colorado, often because a Voter’s Signature doesn’t Match what’s on File, according to a Lawsuit filed in Colorado's Denver District Court late last week.

The Signature Match requirement is meant to prevent Voter Fraud, since Mail or At-Home Voting, takes place away from a Polling Site.

But, the Lawsuit said, Fraud is Extremely Rare, and Ballot Rejections disproportionately impact Diverse Communities, Disabled People, and the Youngest and Oldest Voters.

“For the vast majority of Colorado voters who vote by mail this fundamental right is contingent on an arbitrary, deeply flawed signature matching process,” read the Lawsuit.

“While ostensibly deployed to verify voter identity, signature matching is election integrity theater: it disenfranchises qualified voters by the tens of thousands, all for the appearance — but not the reality — of election integrity.”

A similar Lawsuit was filed last month in Washington.

Both were filed in State Court, on State Law Grounds, to avoid Federal questions that may tee-up Review in the U.S. Supreme Court.
