I sent off a request to the Secretary of State the other day and found that the DA for Colorado Springs and the area (Fourth Judicial District) is running his office vacant.

Dan MAY's Oath of Office.

Form of Oath.Form of Affirmation.

Here is the Oath as required by the Secretary of State.

Proper form for swearing any oath is to plainly state the authority witnessing the oath. If you have scruples about that, or do not believe in God, then you can affirm instead. This new hybrid between is not constitutional nor does it conform to statute. Dan MAY's defect is plainly not a temporary one. The case cited; People v. Scott only applies to temporary defects.

David Merrill.
