CO Springs elections chief goes on conservative talk radio to warn Caldara: “You better darn well plan on really” living here
Speaking on a Colorado Springs radio station yesterday morning (listen @28:35), El Paso Country Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams warned political stunt man Jon Caldara that he “better darn well plan on really” living in Colorado Springs, or he’ll be prosecuted.
Williams: Caldara decided he was going to highlight this problem. Again, he better have really – I understand he’s got a lease. He’s planning on residing there, and as he said, “checking out the Springs.” And we welcome him to our community. We are happy to have legitimate people who are living here live here. But you better darn well plan on really doing that!
Caldara, who lives in Boulder, cast a blank ballot Saturday in the recall election of CO Springs Sen. John Morse, saying he’s renting a room in the recall district
On KVOR’s Richard Randall show, Williams said he’ll determine after the election if “someone lied” about living in Morse’s district, and then voted. And “if they did, they can be prosecuted for a felony.”
Williams: But, what you have then, is a system that says, under the law, if I really do move there, I can vote. Now, the challenge is, we have no verification of that beforehand. What we will do is investigate. And we will find out if someone lied. And if they did, they can be prosecuted for a felony…. And that’s what we intend to do, Richard. We intend to prosecute.
Randall agreed with Williams, saying:
Randall: And I would say this: whether it’s Caldara or anybody else – some union thug from Boulder who does it, if it turns out you lied and you wanted to participate in an election, you had no business doing it, and you didn’t follow up by actually being honest about your intentions, I do want Clerk and Recorders like Wayne Williams and prosecutors like Dan May and John Suthers to hit you with a felony.
You have to appreciate Randall standing up against voter fraud, and nudging fellow conservative Williams along in the same direction.
Maybe Randall will inspire Peter Boyles, over on KNUS in Denver, to apologize for telling callers yesterday to commit felony voter fraud.
