Re: and right here in Boulder

I am very concerned about the vote counting as a Boulder County resident, but so far I have no reason to suspect that there is anything "wrong" with Boulder County's methods. They are just slow. We must be patient.

I am also very concerned that the presidential election in Colorado has been "called" before Boulder's votes have been counted. It would be a terrible ripoff if the counting is stopped for any reason before it is finished.

I have contacted some other local people about these concerns, and I hope people on these lists will also follow up.

Furthermore, we all need to redouble our efforts to change Colorado's prohibitions against hand recounting in computer-counted elections and against statistical checking of a certain number of ballots in computer-counted elections.

Well here we are, two days past the election and only 53.5% of the ballots

We asked for paper ballots, and we got it. We also got slow, but I am okay
with that. I think that we should have expected that. I've heard that the
first election done with the DataVote system in the 1970s also was slow.

Anyone concerned with what's going on here in Boulder County? I haven't seen
any comments on this list about that.

Any ventures to guess why; or talk about if BC has experienced malfunctions;
or problems with the humans; or much else.

I've only been perturbed by the Daily Camera's predictions used as factual
material. They've predicted the outcome and stated it as fact back when only
26.8% of the Boulder County vote was in. The other newspapers were more
careful and told their readers that the bottom line wasn't too sure on
Wednesday morning.

I was wondering if anyone knew what had happened in Grand County? Yesterday
morning they still hadn't reported any figures. Did the ghost of Marvin
Heemeyer drive the phantom bulldozer through the virtual voting booth?

Any signs of stupid polling tricks here in Colorado? This is
ColoradoVoter.net So I'm wondering with all of the watchers that were
watching in Colorado if any of them saw anything that looked odd?
Were the watchers trained to know fraud if they saw it? Or were they just
looking for polling place irregularities? There certainly were enough of
those, and many incidents right here in our county.

Just wondering if any one here on this list has a care about what has
occurred in Boulder County. Maybe y'all are sure that things have gone just
fine, or have resigned yourselves to believing that it was all screwed and
there's nothing to be done about it.

Of the 64 Colorado counties, in Boulder the ballots are still being tallied.
Everyone else is done and have been for a while.
I can't believe that the CVV and CFVI groups are so quiet about Boulder. Or
maybe just not well informed.
