Advocacy Groups and Colorado Secretary of State Reach Agreement on Protections for Voters Against Purges

Denver, CO – On Friday, January 22, a federal court approved an agreement between voting groups and the Colorado Secretary of State to protect voting rights.  Mi Familia Vota, Colorado Common Cause, and the Service Employee International Union (SEIU) are plaintiffs in a case against the Secretary originally brought in the fall of 2008 to ensure that thousands of Colorado voters illegally purged from the registration lists would have their votes counted.
