Attorney claims ballots may be identifiable | Aspen Daily News Online

Attorney claims ballots may be identifiable | Aspen Daily News Online:

A local citizen claims he has identified which anonymous 'string' is his in digital records released by the city of Aspen after the May election and that he could possibly use that information as a jumping off point to figure out how others voted.

The citizen, local attorney Millard Zimet, has filed a complaint with the city of Aspen election commission, claiming that the city did not hold a secret ballot election, as required by state law.

Zimet says that he was able to figure out which string was his because he remembered exactly how he voted and when. The city keeps a record of the order in which ballots were handed out, and Zimet said that by comparing the ballot logs to the strings, he could figure out who voted before and after him.
