Received mine today, but that doesn't help you, since I'm in a different state. Most important ballot I've ever filled out!

I'll leave this info here to ponder

Same here ... after "buying a gun from a stranger in a parking lot with cash and no paperwork", voting in person is one of the things I'm most looking forward to doing again now that I've left CO.

And I did the first one the other day (got me a nifty, coyote P365 :D ).

The other thing is "buying Pmags and not having to assemble them afterward" ... but I'm not in as big a hurry for that.

Yeah, I always dropped mine in the drop box outside the DMV on Garden of the Gods, I'm getting to the point where I distrust USPS so much that I almost never mail utility and other bill payments anymore and just go online and do it there (and I really don't trust financial transactions online).

This.
Do not mail them. Wait until the day off and drop them and get your sticker.

Voting has become practically the same as sending a letter to your representative or senator. Sure, it gets there, but the outcome is the same. Canned response that doesn't really answer your question. We've now come to the point where the response appears to be pre-arranged. And it's not the one I was hoping for.

I've been dropping mine in either the Parker PD drop box or Polling place drop box since we started mail-in voting in Colorado.

Then check online that vote was recorded.

As people mentioned,I do drop near city or county owned buildings.

I accidentally almost put a ballot inside the flag recycling bin. They look extremely similar at night.

Ad blockers take care of all those, haven't seen them in years. Now if we could just eliminate TV commercials after voting that would be great.

Their phone Banks for cancelling that content open up on November 5th.

To some extent, I like the fact that they're wasting time and money trying to call me. I don't pick up on phone numbers I don't recognize anyway and have had fun with the text messages. For some reason, I got push-polled by Warren's people back when she thought she was a viable candidate and my response was pretty acerbic. Their reply to my response was in the vein of, "okaaaayyy .... thank you for your time."

Thanks for that. I am still chuckling!

But, I bet some stations will still be playing a few. Hey, they paid for 10,000 ads and we sure aren't refunding a single nickle.

Whats funny, is that posted on a Facebook and here that I voted and I have not seen another election ad on YouTube or Facebook since. Maybe targeted ad spies are "ok"...

I got two ballots in the mail, then I realized one from Weld county clerk and the other from Mountain View fire Rescue district which has one ballot measure, thought that was odd. Oh well......

Remember to vote early and vote often.

Anyone want to tell me how to vote for all of the court positions to save me a bunch of research?

Or all of the ballot measures?

I don?t want to screw our state up any more than it already is because of my ignorance.

Mine came in the mail and I put it away some where before I left for hunting. Now I can't find it and will have to vote in person.

It was funny the first two times you voted for me, but now it's getting ridiculous.

Democrats are usually the first to vote early, en masse because they just fill in the party-line bubbles quickly and return their ballot... Republicans take a whole lot more time to do their research and vote with a bit more awareness on what they're doing...so the stats we see right now will undoubtedly be skewed toward democrats. I'm hoping they shift heavily in the next week though, or we're screwed.

I chuckled a bit too. I would say that those who hate trump are probably a lot more motivated to fill it out immediately
as do the trump fanclub members. The third type, people who have to select Trump (for sake of judicial, if nothing else), despite it clearly being idiocracy in the flesh, are not racing to the polls. Some might even get there a week late.

I went through the blue book last night, will fill out my ballot tonight, and drop it off tomorrow morning on the way to work. Some seriously devious wording on some of the ballot issues this year.

From a Mandy Connell blog post about the ballot initiatives:


AMENDMENT B: REPEAL GALLAGHER AMENDMENT The thing you need to know about the Gallagher Amendment is that is a formula that keeps your property taxes very low. This is a very, very good thing. Gallagher isn't perfect, but it's very, very good. We currently enjoy some of the lowest property tax rates IN THE NATION. I find property taxes to be the most odious of taxes because you can never REALLY own your own property because you have to pay property taxes every year and if you don't they take your home. There are issues with Gallagher to be sure, as the ratio has put a disproportionate burden on businesses (they they pass on to us, the customers) but a full repeal is the wrong move to fix those issues.

I read that opinion, and many others. What tipped me was that a repeal appeared to be another attempt at a cash grab and work around for Tabor.

I think the line about businesses passing the extra along to customers only probably applies to some businesses. It must be very rough for businesses that can't just charge more.

There's a lot of Tabor end runs going on every year lately. They wordplay to catch the uninformed, unsuspecting, stupid, and lazy off guard to voting for their BS amendments.

I am typically inclined to vote no to any amendments to the constitution. First, the constitution has enough amendments already. Second, I don?t know why so many weird, minor things deserve to be incorporated into the constitution and set in stone.

But, on the other hand, I?d hate to skip over something that was potentially important or beneficial and deserving of being worked into the constitution because of my ignorance on the subject matter.

Guess I?ll break open the blue book tonight and try and educate myself.

Someone else here posted a text where they actually replied to one of those political messages. I got yet another one and figured I?d at least respond.

I've wanted to setup an autoresponder but been too busy.

Something along the lines of: "THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE DAILY BANANA. YOU WILL RECEIVE A DAILY BANANA PHOTO TO REMIND YOU OF YOUR BANANA NEEDS. YOU WILL NOTICE A 0.59c DAILY FEE ON YOUR PHONE BILL. TEXT "STOP" TO CANCEL, OR "DOUBLE" TO RECEIVE TWICE AS MUCH BAANNAANNAA"

Then I'd send a picture of Miley Cyrus. Every time they texted stop I'd send a message that their request to double the bananas has been processed and send more pictures.

I haven't had the time, mostly.
