in colorado, cases of voters casting ballots twice, the dead voting, and other cases of fraud are popping up, lending credence to conservatives<u+2019> arguments that the election may be <u+201c>rigged.<u+201d> 




cbs4 found at least a dozen cases where coloradans have voted twice, and a previous investigation revealed the names of state residents who had been dead for months or years, still voting. 




in six of the cases, voting records show the exact same person citing twice in the state elections. in the other six, people who were registered in a different state also voted in colorado. 




lincoln wilson, a registered republican from hale, in northeast colorado, is accused of voting in both colorado and kansas in 2010, 2012 and again in 2014. wilson told cbs4 he voted in both states, but only <u+201c>voted on local issues<u+201d> and <u+201c>didn<u+2019>t vote twice for president.<u+201d> 




wilson is one of five coloradans now charged by the state of kansas for voting in both states. 




randall killian, an unaffiliated voter, pleaded guilty to voting in douglas county, colorado and kansas in the 2012 presidential election. ron weems, a registered democrat, pleaded guilty to voting in teller county, colorado and kansas in both 2012 and 2014. both men were fined for their offenses. 




kansas has also charged james criswell, a republican from douglas county, and sharon farris, a republican from denver, with double voting. their cases have not been resolved yet. 




kansas secretary of state kris kobach said his office is <u+201c>aggressively prosecuting<u+201d> double voting cases because it<u+2019>s a crime that <u+201c>can<u+2019>t be caught ahead of time.<u+201d> 




he says after each election, colorado and kansas crosscheck voters to identify double ballots and clean up their databases. but kobach still believes 10,000 people are registered to vote in both colorado and kansas. 




combing through voter data, cbs4 found three suspected double voters in denver, one suspected double voter in arapahoe county and one suspected double voter in douglas county. all five cases that cbs4 uncovered have now been referred to prosecutors for possible criminal action. 




<u+201c>it<u+2019>s a relatively small number,<u+201d> said williams, <u+201c>but, it is a problem of any magnitude because we have close elections in colorado.<u+201d> 




but, colorado secretary of state wayne williams admits other coloradans are getting away with it. combing through voter data, cbs4 found three suspected double voters in denver, one suspected double voter in arapahoe county and one suspected double voter in douglas county. all five cases that cbs4 uncovered have now been referred to prosecutors for possible criminal action.
