Waters knocked off ballot

START RELEASE

AURORA --

After four weeks of legal wrangling and an emergency appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court, Ken Waters, Libertarian candidate for Arapahoe County Sheriff, lost his battle for ballot access.

This loss has cleared the way for an uncontested sheriff race in Arapahoe County. Waters noted "Thanks to the Republican Party, the citizens of Arapahoe County now have four more years of ticket quotas to look forward to."

Republican Clerk and Recorder Nancy Doty notified Waters on July 18th, 62 days after Waters filed his Certificate of Designation, that his name would be removed from the ballot. Doty cited a state statute requiring the candidate be affiliated with their current party for 12 months and also disaffiliated with their former party for 12 months.
