Many of you will recall the scandal two years ago that resulted from Senate Republicans' misuse of the Seal of the State of Colorado (usage of which is only allowable by the Secretary of State for official purposes, violation is a felony) on their decidedly unofficial partisan brochure website. The Rocky Mountain News reported at the time:
[Senate Minority Leader Andy] McElhany said he removed the Colorado seal from coloradosenatenews.com after Secretary of State Mike Coffman reminded party caucuses April 2 they can't use the seal in communications.
It's a felony to use the state seal for anything but official documents. [Pols emphasis]
This isn't the first time Republicans violated the state's strict rule about misusing the seal.
