On October 18, write-in candidate Kathleen Curry, an incumbent state legislator running for re-election, filed a lawsuit in state court over the validity of certain write-in votes.  The Secretary of State of Colorado has ruled that if a voter casts a write-in vote, and either forgets, or doesn’t know, to fill in the oval next to the name written in, the vote doesn’t count.  The statute does not seem to justify the Secretary of State’s ruling.  The case is Curry v Buescher, in Denver District Court, 10-cv-8191.  The hearing is on Friday, October 22.
