Jim;
Thanks for your explantion below, as to what the three 'extra precincts'
listed on the Boulder County Clerks website represent. (see emails
below)
My suggestion would be that this be explained on the website, for all to
see, and not left up to folks to make up their own reasons as to whether we have
227 precincts in Boulder County or 230 or what ?
Paul Tiger was very convinced of what the explanation was for
the three extra precincts, until you proved him wrong. (see
below)
There are 227 precincts and 230 polling locations. The
precincts plus the clerks offices in Longmont, Boulder, and Louisville. 230 =
227 + 3
Don?t try to make in more mysterious than it is.
Could you have the County Clerks office respond to my suggestion, above,
when they have a chance ?
Thanks, Peter Richards
Peter,
The number of polling places in Boulder County (precincts)
is 227. There are three extra "precincts" assigned, respectively, to absentee
ballots received from overseas for people voting here but with no mailing
address (such as servicemen and women) for the 2nd and 4th congressional
districts. There is a third "precinct" that is assigned to landowners who are
eligible to vote on special taxing district questions (such as the Gold Hill
and Eldorado Springs questions) who do not live there but can vote because
they own property that could be taxed.
Does that answer your question?

Paul Tiger (Some Guy) and all;
Thanks for the information, below - precincts vs. polling
locations.
I had asked some of my friends in the local media the same question,
and they had no idea of what the answer was....
I have shown the chart below again, which caused the confusion and
questions. This is from the Boulder County Clerk website as of
yesterday afternoon, Monday.
On one line, it says 'Completed Precincts: 230 of 230'
On the same line in the following chart, it say 'Completed Precincts:
227 of 227'
Does this explain what you believe is the answer ??
And following your answer, I would argue there are 231 polling
locations in Boulder County.
1. Boulder County Courthouse
2. 33rd St. County Clerks office.
3. Longmont
4. Louisville
227 precincts + 4 = 231
Now what do you say ?
It would be helpful to all if the County Clerk could explain such
anomolies, on their website.
Bye, Peter Richards

Neal;
Is this the chart
you are referring to, in your explanation below.
Another question -
why does one chart say '230 of 230' precincts, and the lower chart says
'227 of 227' precincts ?
How many precincts
are there in Boulder County ??
