A statewide investigation revealed dozens of allegedly illegal voters.
Secretary of State, Scott Gessler, cross referenced Colorado‘s immigration detainee list with the voter-registration database, and found 85 matches of potential illegal voters.
Using the Open Records Act, Gessler was able to obtain the voting records of those who appear to be registered to vote, but are not US citizens in eight counties, including Mesa.
The findings did not indicate how many of those people were from Mesa County, nor have the identities of those suspected been released.
The controversial report is receiving push-back, however, as some feel voter information should not be available under the Open Records Act, saying that it violates voter anonymity.
