Colorado: 30,000 noncitizens got vote registration mailer

DENVER (AP) โ€” Coloradoโ€™s secretary of state office says it mistakenly sent postcards to about 30,000 noncitizens encouraging them to register to vote, blaming the error on a database glitch related to the stateโ€™s list of residents with driverโ€™s licenses.

The office of Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold insisted none of the noncitizens will be allowed to register to vote if they try.

The news comes at a time of widespread skepticism โ€” often unfounded โ€” of voting integrity following the 2020 presidential election and as Griswold, who has touted her role as a national advocate for secure elections, seeks reelection in the November midterms.

Coloradoโ€™s Republican Party chair, Kristi Burton Brown, condemned Griswold for the error, saying in a Monday statement that โ€œJena Griswold continues to make easily avoidable errors just before ballots go outโ€ by mail on Oct. 17.

Griswold faces Republican Pam Anderson, a former suburban Denver clerk and head of the stateโ€™s county clerks association, who is a staunch advocate of Coloradoโ€™s all-mail voting system.

Griswoldโ€™s office said in a statement that the postcards were mailed Sept. 27. The error happened after department employees compared a list of names of 102,000 people provided by the Electronic Registration Information Center, a bipartisan, multistate organization devoted to voter registration, to a database of Colorado residents issued driverโ€™s licenses.

That Department of Revenue driverโ€™s license list includes residents issued special licenses for people who are not U.S. citizens. But it didnโ€™t include formatting information that normally would have allowed the Department of State to eliminate those names before the mailers went out, Griswoldโ€™s office said Monday.
