DENVER (AP) -- State Attorney General John Suthers says a judge should deny a request to reinstate thousands of voters whose names were removed from state records.
Groups including Colorado Common Cause filed a lawsuit last week against Secretary of State Mike Coffman, saying the state illegally removed names from the voter list within 90 days of a federal general election and omitted names of people who tried to register with addresses that post offices showed as "undeliverable."
In court documents filed Tuesday, Suthers opposed the groups' request to reactivate those voters.
He said names were removed properly because voters had moved or were registered twice, and that no eligible voter would be denied the right to vote.
