Secretary of State Buescher not happy with military ballot decision

Colorado was among four states that were denied requests on Friday to ignore a new federal law meant to protect the voting rights of deployed troops and other Americans overseas, while five states were granted the waiver.

Colorado Secretary of State Bernie Buescher has ordered county clerks to comply with a demand from the federal government after the state was denied the waiver.  More -
