Colorado State employees selling voter data to the GOP!
They never stop, do they? Lie, cheat, steal. Rinse, repeat.


http://scoop.epluribusmedia.org/story/2007/5/4/16524/59764

As reported last night, a technology manager in the Elections Division of Colorado's Secretary of State's office was selling Colorado voter data to GOP candidates.

Daniel J. Kopelman of Aurora, CO, whose duties include oversight and maintenance of the state's master voter registration database, was offering "GOP campaign help" in the form of voter and "fresh" fundraising lists at the web site of his privately-owned company Political Live Wires.

In response to ePluribus Media's inquiries, a spokesperson for Sec. of State Mike Coffman stated that his office had no knowledge of Kopelman's "side business" and saw his actions as a "conflict of interest." Furthermore, upon learning of Kopelman's activities, Deputy Sec. of State William A. Hobbs met with the state's voter database manager and directed him to take down his web site.

But Coffman's claims that he was unaware of Kopelman's private venture are now in doubt, as the newly elected Secretary's campaign expenditure reports from last fall -- filed with his own office -- show multiple expenditures to Political Live Wires and Kopelman for services including "consulting."

4. It'd be more efficient to count the # of repubs that *don't* need to go to jail.

5. why pay Kopelman when most County Clerks offices will sell you voter
lists for a nominal fee?

That's just weird IMO. When I worked at the Clerk's office, we sold *all* candidates lists of early voters for less than a nickel a name (and that included the labels already filled out)

6. The day when most politicians enter politics to enrich themselves instead of to help others is the..
day the US becomes the new Roman Empire.
