Salazar's office said it's already doing exactly as the governor suggested: fully investigating and prosecuting allegations of voter wrongdoing. But Salazar's people expressed confusion at Davidson's complaint about being left out of the loop. "What part of 'out of the loop' is there?" asked Ken Lane, a Salazar spokesman. "We're actively handling every case Secretary of State Davidson has given us. There's a mystery here to what her complaint is." Democrats called Davidson and Owens' statements "overt voter intimidation" aimed at keeping people away from the polls... "This is the classic move by Republican tacticians: create an environment of fear that discourages voters from showing up on Election Day, for this is the only way they know how to win," said Sue Casey, Kerry-Edwards 2004 Colorado state director.
