Voter registration increased by 200,000 in Colorado
From Ballotpedia
October 7, 2008
On October 7th ended all voting registration for the State of Colorado in the general election as Colorado Law requires that registration stops 29 days before the General Election. As registration ended the number of registered voters increased over 200,000 in this very competitive battleground state.[1]
Those removed from the voter list
County clerks had canceled the registrations of 58,453 voters since January, about 2 percent of all registered voters. Most of those — 30,569 — were people who had moved to another county or another state.
Another 13,737 were canceled because of duplicate registrations, while 7,902 were deceased and 2,227 were felons. The remainder included a mix of those who had been inactive for two consecutive federal elections and had not responded to mailings, those who were not citizens and those who had withdrawn their names from voter rolls.[1]
Nine people were removed for having been convicted of voter fraud.
