CDP calls for Secretary of State's immediate resignation

DENVER – Today, Colorado Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Waak issued a statement on behalf of the Colorado Democratic Party calling for the immediate resignation of Secretary of State Gigi Dennis:

"In recent days, Coloradans have learned that the Colorado Secretary of State's office was approached by attorneys working with the Republican Party and its candidates seeking changes to Colorado elections rules. This has resulted in a blatant manipulation of Colorado election rules to benefit their candidates in direct defiance of legislative will. We therefore call for Gigi Dennis' immediate resignation. It is unacceptable to exploit a public office for political gain. Colorado citizens deserve to know that the elections process respects the rights of all voters. We feel the Secretary of State's actions have undermined the integrity of the elections process."
