Advocacy Groups and Secretary of State Reach Agreement on Protections for Voters
January 25, 2010
On Friday, a Federal Court approved an agreement reached between voting groups in Colorado and the Colorado Secretary of State to protect voting rights. Mi Familia Vota, Colorado Common Cause, and the Service Employee International Union (SEIU) are plaintiffs in a case against the Secretary originally brought in the fall of 2008 to ensure that thousands of Colorado voters illegally purged from the registration lists would have their votes counted.
Days before Election Day in 2008, the parties reached an agreement hailed by voting rights and good-government groups in Colorado and nationwide as a victory for voters whereby improperly purged voters would be placed on a protection list for the November 2008 election to ensure their votes would count. After the November election, Plaintiffs amended their lawsuit to bring about more permanent protections.
