Summit Daily 
<http://www.summitdaily.com/news/7981556-113/district-voter-fraud-attorney> 
(Summit, CO):

    Suspicions of voter fraud in the 5th Judicial District of Colorado
    are unfounded, according to a news release issued last week by the
    district attorney's office.

    In July, at the request of Colorado Secretary of State Scott
    Gessler, 5th Judicial District Attorney Bruce Brown and his staff
    launched an investigation into 3 people suspected of being
    non-citizens who may have illegally cast an electoral ballot as far
    back as the year 2000. Statewide, the Secretary of State's Office
    identified 157 voters as being potential non-citizens.

    "NC Elections Board to hear cases that touch on student voting
    rights; State elections board says Elizabeth City college student
    can seek local office" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=54979>

News Observer 
<http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/09/03/3161001/state-elections-board-says-elizabeth.html>:

    The state Board of Elections on Tuesday unanimously agreed that an
    Elizabeth City State University student can run for local office,
    reversing a decision by the Pasquotank County elections board.

    Montravias King registered to run for the Elizabeth City board on
    July 19 when he was a student at the historically black college in
    the Pasquotank County seat.

UPDATE: NC elections board gives college voters split decision: 
<http://www.wral.com/nc-elections-board-gives-college-voters-split-decision/12846725/> 
"The State Board of Elections gave a boost Tuesday to college students 
interested in running for political office but turned aside an argument 
that forcing them to leave campus to vote was a hardship."

"Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York and the billionaire 
philanthropist Eli Broad have each donated hundreds of thousands of 
dollars. The National Rifle Association is buying political

And the election has attracted news coverage from as far away as Sweden."
