Colorado Democrat files criminal complaint, fraudulent signatures alleged on recall petition

DENVER — Supporters of state Senate President John Morse, who faces a recall election in early September, will file a criminal complaint Monday asking for an investigation into thousands of recall petition signatures they believe were forged.

(snip)

The group, “A Whole Lot of People for John Morse”, plans to file the request Monday at 11 a.m. outside the Fourth District D.A.’s office in Colorado Springs.

“There are many categories of faulty signatures,” the investigation request reads, “Including petitions that were not properly notarized, signatures from voters who live outside Senate District 11 and some forgeries. In all, we were able to find 2,149 faulty signatures.”

The group behind the recall, the Basic Freedoms Defense Fund, has insisted that they have followed the rules.
