Two charged with voter registration fraud in Colorado
DENVER Colorado prosecutors have charged two people with filling out multiple voter-registration forms in a case more about greed than voter fraud. Monique Mora and Pelonne Page are accused of putting false information on the forms. The two were working for a group that pays people to register voters.
An official with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now says the workers were being paid by the hour, and apparently wanted to claim more hours than they really worked.
The Denver district attorney's office say there's no indication anyone named on the forms intended to vote more than once.
The two workers are each charged with six counts of procuring false registrations, a misdemeanor punishable by up to 18 months in jail.
