Remember that plumber who turned a blue state Senate District red through the magic of common sense? The one who led the fight to recall former liberal state Sen. Angela Giron? Yes, folks, he’s running to replace the man vying with Broomfield elections for the most incompetent handling of elections – Gilbert Ortiz, Democrat Clerk and Recorder.
Shall we take a stroll down memory lane with Ortiz?
- August 2013: Ortiz’s office mailed a ballot to a woman who had died over a year ago.
- August 2012: We noted he was failing to do his job as the head of the Colorado County Clerks Association.
- June 2012: Revealing Politics discovered that one woman in Pueblo had received two ballots from Ortiz’s office.
- November 2011: Ortiz sent out a press release and appeared on MSNBC claiming that 28% of inactive voters (totaling 4,870) had voted. Unfortunately, the real number was closer to 10% (or 1,791). Did Ortiz learn math from Lois Court? It’s his ONE JOB. To COUNT. ONE JOB, PeakNation™.
And, we could go on. The truth is that this race could come down to Head (R-Common Sense) vs. Ortiz (D-Incompetence). We’re hoping common sense wins the day.
Ellen Dumm. Somehow your name is very appropriate!
I have wondered why the recall election had to cover so many days and have so many polling places. Who decided that? Curious. But I know where my vote is going.
Ok, Dems…decide now why this spins you up so much. Is it because Victor Head and company successfully led a recall effort, or because any Republican dares to challenge your boy?
Sorry your wrong, the woman in Pueblo that received two ballots received one in her name and one in a previous tenants name. Both could have been filled out and counted if the woman wouldn't have come forward to expose the slip up. Excellent story! Common Sense vs. Incompetence.
The Recalls showed us who the true leaders are of our communities. Very proud of Victor for stepping up.
Whoop!! Whoop!! Go Victor Head!!
This is such a crock. First, only one ballot can be counted. Two, the women in Pueblo was Rep. Clarice Navarro-Ratzlaff who registered under two names with two different IDs in two weeks time. Navarro-Ratzlaff is also a big supporter of Gessler's….it's a stupid, stupid story.
