Using legal loopholes, Boulder County officials have taken new steps to block public oversight of its scheme to control the ballot box. They don't care who votes as long as they get to count the votes?
Boulder County has refused public inspection of its voting equipment draft RFP. In response to CAMBER's Open Records Request the county has slithered behind the law to hide its intentions and block the public from participating in voting equipment decisions.
Colorado law does not require that public officials keep plans secret. Public officials who believe in transparent government engage the public before making decisions.
By blocking public participation the county can manipulate the process and force an untrustworthy voting system on the voters.
In addition, the County is operating with no written records and/or plans. There is no accountability.
The voting equipment "requirements" decision is a multi-million dollar decision. It will affect the voting rights of each and every Boulder County voter.
To make this decision without a written plan is reckless.
Boulder County commissioners should tell the Clerk that they would like to see a plan for including the public in the development of the voting system "requirements".
