Turns out I’m a Democrat after all<\/a>, as confirmed by the now-fixed online database at the state Secretary of State’s web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

A legislative candidate uncovered a glitch in the secretary of state’s Web site<\/a> that lists Democrats’ party affiliation as “unaffiliated.”  Denver Democrat Liz Adams said she was appalled by the error, which the secretary of state’s office says is being fixed and is “not a problem.”<\/p>\n

[…] Adams said she checked her own registration after some friends called to say they went to the link and discovered they were wrongly listed as unaffiliated voters.  Adams, a registered Democrat since July 12, 1990, discovered that she also was listed as “unaffiliated.”<\/p>\n

“I am so angry about this, I can’t tell you,” she said.<\/p>\n

Secretary of state spokesman Rich Coolidge said the office is working to fix the site. But he disagreed it was a problem, saying that if voters check with their county clerks, they will get the correct information.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sure — whenever I go to the Secretary of State’s database and get an answer, I always assume the data must be wrong and check with the County Clerk instead. <\/p>\n

Well, I’ll assume that now, <\/em>at least.<\/p>\n

I try not to be conspiratorial, but does anyone else find it odd that the office of the Secretary of State, a Republican, doesn’t see a “problem” that Democrats (only) are being told they are actually Unaffiliated and cannot vote in the caucuses?<\/p>\n

(Margie, by the bye, remains Unaffiliated … no party for her!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thanks, BD.<\/p>\n
