Colorado's secretary of state office says it mistakenly sent postcards to about 30,000 non-citizens encouraging them to register to vote, blaming the error on a database glitch related to the state's list of residents with driver's licences.
The office of Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold insisted none of the non-citizens will be allowed to register to vote if they try.
Griswold faces Republican Pam Anderson, a former suburban Denver clerk and head of the state's county clerks association, who is a staunch advocate of Colorado's all-mail voting system. Griswold's office said it was unaware that anyone who received the postcards in error had tried to register. "It should show, first of all, that mistakes can happen, but secondly that there are checks in place to make sure mistakes don't result in disaster," Morales-Doyle said. "It's not good this happened. It appears to be a case of human error and a database error and not some conspiracy, which I think some critics would seize on."
