“Dayle, we are all big fans and would sure like to see you drop 20 lbs. or so.” This e-mail was sent anonymously to 7News morning anchor Dayle Cedars earlier this month — and she could have shrugged it off. After all, the Internet can be a cruel place, particularly…
Last night, a CBS4 investigation about “dead voters casting ballots in Colorado” prompted a response from Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams’s office sent out at a highly unusual time: 10:39 p.m. “While vote fraud is rare, it does indeed occur,” Williams acknowledged in a statement. “Our office is working to ensure…
