Transcript of interview with Scott Gessler at Colorado Christian University, Nov. 14, 2011
Jason Salzman: I’m a blogger in town.
Scott Gessler: Nice to meet you.
Jason: I’ve been trying to talk to your spokespeople, I’m a liberal blogger, about a question. I’m hoping I could ask you directly.
Gessler: Probably not.
Jason: Probably not?
Gessler: Probably not.
Jason: But hear what it is.
Gessler: I’m going to chat with some of these folks.
Jason: On the radio you said there was fraud, actual fraud, among the inactive returned ballots in the Denver election.
Gessler: I’m not quite sure that’s what I said for this particular election. I think if you look at Denver, though, you’ll see in 2009, a large number of folks, the signatures didn’t match. I think that’s an indicium of fraud, right there, when the signatures don’t match.
Jason: It’s an indication of fraud, but you wouldn’t say that it’s fraud, would you?
Gessler: I said it’s an indicium of fraud. It very well may be. It’s not been fully investigated, to my knowledge.
Jason: And statewide, any instance of fraud that you can point to? Any single instance?
Gessler: I’ve given you my stand.
Jason: I appreciate the answer.
Gessler: Sure.
