Denver, Colorado - With his campaign mired in scandal, Jon Keyser has repeatedly dodged and refused to answer pointed questions from journalists regarding signature forgeries on the petitions his campaign submitted to get onto the Republican primary ballot.

After refusing to answer any substantive questions from the press for nearly two weeks, and earning national notoriety for impersonating Marco Rubio's epic debate disaster circa-February<http://coloradodems.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4fadea36551d894073301f9ab&id=9f596d8f7e&e=2e8bbea69b>, Keyser finally admitted to the Denver Post yesterday that his campaign did submit forged signatures to get onto the ballot (revelations that Denver7's Marshall Zelinger first uncovered more than a week ago).

However, Keyser is still continuing to duck answering virtually every question he's been asked about the growing petition fraud scandal since it first began, even as the Denver DA's office considers whether to launch a formal criminal investigation into the matter.

Tonight, Jon Keyser Should Finally Come Clean And Answer The Following Questions:

1.    As the Denver Post<http://coloradodems.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4fadea36551d894073301f9ab&id=dfe121ed32&e=2e8bbea69b> has asked, when did Jon Keyser first learn that the signatures in question had been forged or falsified?

2.    As the Huffington Post<http://coloradodems.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4fadea36551d894073301f9ab&id=fdb0601641&e=2e8bbea69b> has asked, if Keyser "triple" checked his signatures before submitting them, how did he not catch that the signatures were forged until Denver7's investigation? Why did he wait until his campaign was embroiled in scandal before saying anything about it?

3.    As FOX31<http://coloradodems.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4fadea36551d894073301f9ab&id=29d1f989a8&e=2e8bbea69b> and Denver7<http://coloradodems.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4fadea36551d894073301f9ab&id=4c208f65a9&e=2e8bbea69b> have asked, if it turns out Keyser did not secure enough legitimate signatures in CD1 to meet the 1,500 signature threshold required to be on the ballot, what should the consequences be, and should he be allowed to stay on the ballot?

4.    As 9News<http://coloradodems.us10.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=4fadea36551d894073301f9ab&id=3d9a7e03fd&e=2e8bbea69b> has asked, if enough forgeries are identified to bring Keyser under the 1,500 threshold, will he stay in the race? Does he think that he should?
