Scott Gessler Gets 10 More Days To Respond To Ethics Complaint

Scott Gessler Gets 10 More Days
This photo taken Sept. 21, 2012, shows Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler leaving his office in Denver. Republican election officials who were swept into office on promises to root out voting fraud say they're doing just that. But they're not finding much so far. After some digging, state officials in key presidential battleground states have found only a tiny fraction of the illegal voters they initially suspected. Searches in Colorado and Florida have yielded numbers that are less than one-tenth of 1 percent of all registered voters in either state. (AP Photo/Ed Andrieski)

The state's Independent Ethics Commission on Friday morning gave Secretary of State Scott Gessler an additional 10 days to respond to a complaint that he spent taxpayer money for political purposes, but denied his request for a Feb. 1 deadline.

Gessler's attorneys told the commission they have not received all the documents they are seeking.
