Beware of voter scams

To keep the residents of Colorado County informed of state and federal activities that could affect our citizens, I wanted to make everyone aware of a variety of activities that I have been told will start. This Presidential year has already heated up and taken over the news; Presidential Elections bring out the voters and the scammers. Scammers will use any excuse they can to take advantage of you, even using your responsible citizenship.

Voter’s Applications are being mass-mailed out by a variety of special interest groups. You may already be a registered voter and re- ceived your voter's certificate direct - ly from my office but still receive an application in the mail. If you know you’re registered, you can throw the application away. If you don’t know if you’re registered, please check the Secretary of State website to see if you are a registered voter at votetexas. gov. If you receive an application addressed to someone who is no longer at that address, there is no need for you to do anything other than dispose of the unsolicited material.

Several of these groups have VERY old lists of registered voters.
