DENVER – At least two Colorado county clerks say they’ve seen a large increase in the number of people who have withdrawn their state voter registration since Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams said he would send the Trump administration’s election integrity commission some voter-roll information in accordance with state law.

Alton Dillard, a spokesperson for the Denver Elections Division, said 180 people have withdrawn their registration in the county since July 3. When compared to the eight people who withdrew their registration from June 26-29, it marks a 2,150 percent increase, according to Dillard.

Haley McKean, a spokeswoman with the Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorders Office said at least 160 people had withdrawn their registrations since July 1. She added that “dozens” of others had made their voter registration confidential.

The Adams County Clerk's Office said "about 30 to 40" people were withdrawing their registrations each day over the past week. The Douglas County Clerk's Office says it hasn't had anyone withdraw their registration, however.

Though some local elections officials have cautioned people against withdrawing their registration to vote over worries about what the state is sending the commission, telling them to instead register as a confidential voter, withdrawing is an option.

The Secretary of State's Office says that withdrawing may be the quickest remedy since it can be done entirely online, and people can again register at a later date.

To become a confidential voter, people in Colorado can pay a $5 fee and sign a sworn affidavit at their local city or county clerk’s office saying there are concerned they may be subject to bodily harm or harassment if their voter information is made public.

Williams has repeatedly said that he is only complying with state law in handing over much of the already-publicly-available voter information from Colorado voters to the controversial commission, which President Donald Trump ordered the formation of in response to his unfounded claims that millions of people voted illegally in last year’s election.

The commission sent the request to Williams and other secretaries of state on June 28, and the letters became public the next day.

Williams says he will, as state law requires, hand over the full name, address, party affiliation, birth year, and information on whether or not a voter has cast a ballot in elections since 2006. The contents of those votes will not be released, as it is unknown even to the secretary of state and county clerks.

So if you're registered to vote legally, why withdraw it?

Why charge for being a confidential voter?


Silly me. I withdraw the question.

I dont know. I cant see how that would help.
I have heard that about half the states are refusing to even cooperate at all.
What are they afraid of?
We know.

During the election I used to say that the polls are fake.
That she will be lucky to get 20% of the vote.
Oh how they mocked me.

But I still think I was correct.

Fuck your committees and investigations. Elections are run by the individual states, not the fed. I've registered in my district and signed a paper that says if I lie, I don't vote. I pay a fine and go to jail. When I move to another congressional district I've got to get my name into that book. End of story. States already are empowered for us to follow these guidelines.

And back to that $5 confidential thing. That's called a poll tax and thus illegal. Voting is a right to me because I live here. Photo ID is also out of the question. You want to find dead voters and non-citizens voting, find another way without me going into your federal database.
