Yeehaw...
Denver Clerk and Recorder Debra Johnson may send ballots to inactive voters, District Court Judge Brian Whitney ruled this afternoon.
Secretary of State Scott Gessler asked Whitney last month to issue a preliminary injunction stopping Johnson's office from sending mail ballots to voters classified as "inactive failed to vote."
Those voters — about 54,357 in Denver county, or about 12 percent of all registered voters — are voters who didn't vote in the 2010 general election or any subsequent election. They also failed to respond to postcards from their clerk and recorder asking whether they want a ballot for the Nov. 1 election.
Gessler, a Republican, said he wanted to ensure the statewide uniformity of the election.
Although the judge refused to issue a preliminary injunction, Gessler's suit may continue.
