The Colorado secretary of state’s office is filing charges against a single voter relating to the 2016 campaign and the accused is Steven Curtis, former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. He’s been charged with forgery and voter fraud. From ABC 7 in Denver:
Steven Curtis was the chairman of the state party from 1997 to 1999. He was charged Feb. 1 with one count of forgery of a public record, a fifth-degree felony, and an elections mail-in ballot offense, a misdemeanor.
The criminal complaint for his arrest says that Curtis tampered with a 2016 General Election mail-in ballot. Sources tell Denver7 that he signed the ballot, which was his wife’s, with her name, which led to the forgery charge.
If convicted, both charges could result in jail time. Curtis had a history of railing against voter fraud and in an interview last year, he said:
“It seems to be, and correct me if I’m wrong here, but virtually every case of voter fraud I can remember in my lifetime was committed by Democrats,” he told KLZ 560.
