Two state lawmakers stopped by the Colorado Secretary of State’s office Monday for a little bit of paperwork help after their county assemblies.

State Rep. Kathleen Conti said after she got home from the Arapahoe County Republican assembly Saturday she realized she hadn’t signed any paperwork and she had in her previous assembly appearances when running for the state House. She is running for county commissioner.

Conti was assisted by the affable Susan Fritz, who works at the front desk.

Conti kept both her opponents, businessman Paulo Sibaja and Littleton City Councilor Phil Cernanec, off the ballot, winning 56.6 percent of the vote to Sibaja’s 24.5 percent and Cernanec’s 18.7 percent Saturday at the Arapahoe County Republican Assembly, according to The Colorado Statesman.

Meanwhile, Rep. Steve Lebsock, D-Thornton, wanted to make sure he had correctly filled out the “legal name” section. Elections staffer Edward Morgan assured him he was fine.

The Republican and Democrats have been holding their county assembles in recent weeks. Some candidates who don’t get at least 30 percent of support from delegates have been contacting the Secretary of State’s office to ask about the other way of getting on the ballot: collecting voter signatures.

UPDATE: Arapahoe County GOP Chair Joy Hoffman stopped by the office today to drop off candidate filings from Saturday’s assembly. When told that Conti had been there the day before, Hoffman pointed out that commissioner paperwork is filed with the county clerk, which happened Monday.
