Voter Service and Polling Centers are now open in each of Colorado’s 64 counties for those of you who prefer to pull the levers of Democracy in person.
Lynn Bartels replied to my email inquiry about when the SoS office would begin putting out reports of ballots turned in, saying "We will start sending them out Tuesday or Wednesday. If you get our news releases, you will get them."
Knowing characteristics of who has voted provided me some pleasure in 2016. I'm hoping for the same this year.
I never put stamps on my mail in ballot (I view it as a poll tax) and they always get it. My understanding is they pay the Post Office for any that show up with insufficient postage.
This is not a promise that this will work for you. And I mail it early so if they don't get it, I have time to go in and vote at the clerk's office.
The drop-off box is free and you don't cost the taxpayer the extra postage for being cheap about it.
For someone who put the time and effort in to make a website about the amendments, it seems that you could spring for a couple of stamps to mail your ballot. You know darn well that your party of choice, the Republican party, will never permit the funding for postage-paid ballots.
The Secretary of State's office also runs elections, funded by the low $10 fees from the business division. A very slight increase in business filing fees could pretty well cover election ballot postage if they would stop giving fee holidays to businesses that don't need the freebies.
Of course, this would explode the little heads of the Caldara crowd, who would much rather that elections weren't funded from business fees at all.
Which side would you come down on – the side that wants business fees to cover elections, (as they have since the 1980s) or the side that wants elections to come up with their own funding in a Tabor world, including postage to continue subsidizing your chintzy stampless protest?
I wonder if "Loki" Caldara is taking one lap of Colorado to register to vote in each of the 64 counties?
The sooner you vote, the sooner you'll stop getting phone calls and door knocks from campaigns.
I have a question. I checked the status of my ballot that I mailed in. It was received on 10/22/18 and said the signature is being verified. Why would they need to verify my signature? I have been a registered voter in Colorado since 1987.
Presumably, you signed your ballot as required. The SoS office then compared that signature with the one on file (since 1987 and any later versions) to assure that someone else didn't take your ballot and fill it out and submit it instead of you.
Does that process surprise you?
Yes, it was signed. My signature has not changed and I find this incredible but should not be surprised.
I think that's just routine, lilyflower. It doesn't indicate a problem.
What is the purpose of signing the envelope if they don't use it to verify against your on-file signature? Not checking is what I would find incredible (and an invitation to fraud).
Like “Sign this petition, but we won’t verify it”
It's all good. In fact, signature verification for mail-in ballots is mandatory. See C.R.S. § 1-7.5-107.3. They've verified your signature on every mail-in ballot you ever submitted.
