CONCISE STATEMENT OF FACTS

Complainant is the Democratic Registrar of Voters in Guilford, CT. Therespondent, Ted Zuse, appeared in my offce late in the afternoon on Monday,August 4, 2013 with thirteen pages of primary petitioning papers containing 253signatures in support of his effort to become the Democratic candidate for FirstSelectman. The packet also contained one 'Circulator's Statement of Authenticityof Signatures' signed by Mr. Zuse and certified by the Town Clerk.While the respondent was still in her offce, the complainant did a quick manualscan of the petitioning papers to make sure, on a macro level, that everyhingwas in order. While doing so, the complainant noticed her husband's 'signature'(which she did not recognize) and also an inaccurate date-of-birth. Complainantasked respondent if he had witnessed, as he had attested to in the Circulator'sStatement of Authenticity of Signatures, my husband's signing the paper.Respondent replied that he had probably been in the car while his helpercollected the signature. Complainant replied the she suspected an irregularity
