Arapahoe County Clerk Nancy Doty is part of a vocal minority

Majority concerned about votes counted in secret

Nancy Doty misrepresented that election integrity activists are a vocal minority.

A nationwide August 2006 Zogby poll of 1,018 likely voters revealed 92 percent of Americans are worried about our votes being counted in secret and agreed Americans have the right to view and obtain information about how elections officials count votes. http://www.zogby.com/templates/printnews.cfm?id=1163

The Sequoia Edge touchscreen DRE voting machines which Nancy Doty demands to continue using in Arapahoe County, without a Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail , can be hacked, in approximately one minute, by an election official, altering election results countywide.

The Colorado legislature required sixty two of sixty four Colorado counties to use Voter Verified Paper Audit Trails on their touchscreen voting machines. The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution states "no state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Do the legislature and Nancy Doty believe the 14th Amendment prohibition against a state denying Equal Protection of the Law does not apply to Arapahoe county citizens? What legal argument does Doty rely upon to continue demoting Arapahoe County voters to second class citizenship? People fought and died at Manassas, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and Antietam to give ALL AMERICANS Equal Protection of the Law. Brave patriots refused to sit in the back of the bus and marched, at Selma. They were clubbed, beaten, attacked by dogs, spit on and firehosed. Their churches were burned. Dr. Martin Luther King gave his life to ensure ALL AMERICANS HAVE EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAW.

Approximately two thirds of Colorado registered voters are registered as Independents or Democrats. Nancy Doty is a Republican who gave a $500 campaign contribution to Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer, in 2007, while she was administering an election Bob Schaffer ran in. A vocal minority supported Bob Schaffer, who was soundly defeated in Colorado. An even smaller vocal minority contributed $500 or more to Republican Bob Schaffer. Nancy Doty is part of a very small vocal minority.

Contributing to a political candidate, who is running for election, in an election you are administering should be outlawed.

Nancy Doty is also part of a small vocal minority who apparently believes in denying equal protection of the law, to some citizens. We have heard from this minority before and stood up against them. It is time for the majority to speak out against them again and ensure every American is provided Equal Protection of the Law.
