Subject: ICYMI – Jon Keyser Call Your Office

Denver7’s Marshall Zelinger, in a 6 p.m. news report today, uncovered nearly a dozen instances of alleged fraud in the signature petitions for Jon Keyser, and “many more” appear to having similar style and characteristics as the 10 already identified, Zelinger said.

See Zelinger’s report:

ANCHOR 1: It's a very busy day. More breaking news right now - a Denver 7 investigation could impact the political landscape here in Colorado.

ANCHOR 2: At issue is the US Senate race, and we have discovered forged signatures on petitions that helped US Senate candidate Jon Keyser get on the primary ballot. Nearly a dozen voters are telling us they never signed those petitions and the signatures appearing next to their names are not theirs.

ANCHOR 1: Well, Denver 7 political reporter Marshall Zelinger uncovered the names of fraud and Marshall you've traced the bad signatures to one signature collector.

ZELINGER: Yeah Adam. Her name is Maureen and you can see it on the screen behind me. This is how she signed the petition indicating she's the circulator, and I want you to compare the handwriting of Maureen here as we show you some of the signatures that she collected on these petitions. So we checked, look at how Maureen signs her M - there's a very distinctive curl to that M. Now look at some of the other signatures on these petitions to help Jon Keyser get on the republican US senate primary ballot. Well after meeting a voter last week who told me her signature was forged, I looked closer at some of the other signatures. Then I met 10 voters who confirmed for me that their signatures were also forged.

ZELINGER: Is your name on this petition?

VOTER 1: Uh, it is, but it's spelled incorrectly.

ZELINGER: Is it your handwriting?

VOTER 1: No.

ZELINGER: Is it your signature?

VOTER 1: No.

ZELINGER: Did you sign that petition?

VOTER 1: No sir.

VOTER 2: I would remember if I had signed a petition for somebody and it's just clearly not the way I sign my name.

ZELINGER: I tried to find the signature collector Maureen, but apparently she moved in the last month-and-a-half form the address she put on this petition here. I reached out to the person who hired her, haven't heard back from him. And I reached out to Keyser's campaign spokesperson who has not returned my calls or texts, and I'm just gonna double check real quick, still nothing. So coming up tonight at 10, why what we've uncovered could call into question Keyser's appearance on the US Senate primary ballot.
