Voting Machine Bill OK'ed by Senate Committee
By Jeremy PelzerLegislation to give Secretary of State Mike Coffman more leeway and more time to recertify many of the state's voting machines unanimously passed a Senate committee on Monday.
The legislation, HB1155, allows Coffman to retest electronic voting machines he decertified in December, and permits county clerk representatives to be present during the retesting.
The State, Veterans and Military Affairs committee passed the bill largely intact, adding only a provision that the recertified machines could not be used beyond the 2009 elections without being tested again, according to the Denver Post.
The bill now moves to the Senate floor.
Senate Majority Leader Ken Gordon (D-Denver) and Steve Johnson (R-Fort Collins) are sponsoring the Senate legislation.

- Democratic senatorial candidate Mark Udall clarifying comments he made on NBC's "Meet the Press" about U.S. Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.).
