It took THREE WEEKS to sort out, but Democrat Steve Ludwig has finally declared victory in the race for statewide CU Regent.
Now we can get back to more important issues, like wondering what a CU Regent does.

Yesterday was the deadline for counties to submit “official” results to the SoS.
Gigi does whatever she does with them, then posts them statewide on Dec 1.
In the interim, you can get official results from each county. That appears to be what Ludwig has done.
You mean to tell me that Gigi has a month to add and certify the county totals and post them? Wow, what a tough job. And to think she has screwed up just about every responsibility that office holds.
Dec 1 is Friday. The 4 days is give her time to get the data complied and into a format that can be posted publically and easily read by the rest of us. The counties don’t send the info in a uniform format and not all send it electronically. That mens athere is a fair amount of data entry involved.

I was commenting from the election, which is almost a month…DAN.
Listen, DAN, nothing on the SOS is easily read, accessible, or coherent. And as for the “fair amount of data entry”, the SOS has a fair amount of staff to work on it, DAN.
So, actually, she has a had a lot more time, personnel, and capability to accomplish this “daunting” task of, “addition and presentation.”
But thanks, DAN.
Blue, it is the Counties who have three weeks. And they need it. They are VERY busy buckaroos in those three weeks. Here’s just a few things they need to do: signature checks — absentees with illegible signatures require mailing to the voter; verifying that provisionals were actually allowed to vote; post-audit on randomly selected machines; canvassing the final results–comparing votes cast vs signature cards, etc.
None of it’s hard, but it all takes time and has to be done in order–and carefully. Even throwing more people at the job won’t help with some things–having to mail a voter for signature verification takes time no matter how many people you throw at it.
None of the votes are official until they’re official. We’re lucky to have unofficial results as soon as election night. What if the law said no results go out until they’re certified? In the old days, if I hung around Elections long enough, I could collect unofficial precinct sheets and have unofficial precinct-by-precinct results on election night. Nowadays, I don’t get precinct results to play with until the “results to SoS” deadline, the 27th this time. It’s OK–I’ll live.
It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me allow the SoS 4 days to tabulate, tally, and certify the results from all the counties in the State.
the El Paso Clerk also had to turn around and get ballots out for a school board recall election on Dec 11.
In any event, the date for the SoS to cerify the results is established by statute and has no reflection on the amount of time the SoS needs to take to egt the job done.
That is why I said “almost a month” DAN.
And there was much rejoicing, yea . . .
They spend all their time discussin the football program while ignoring academics, affordability, requitment of minorities and poor, etc.
Because after all, C.U. is a football team with some other unimportant stuff that is also there.
I hope you really do not believe. The Regents are now mostly Republican who are elected statewide, so that would be a slap into your own party’s face.
I’m a C.U. alum and I live in Boulder and all the administration and regents seem to spend time on is the football department.

ps – I’m a Democrat. My mom’s the Republican
of what Steve was running on. He believes that the current regents do nothing more than worry about the football program, and that’s what he wants to correct.
i suppose i am biased, but CU has not been an institution in which the state can take much pride. itd be the last place id send my kids.
And I can’t blame her. Protecting female students from sexual preditors is definitely way down their list – if it’s even on it.
If I remember correctly they have a few nobel laureates on the faculty, which is pretty impressive.
left CU because he felt (and publicly stated) there was too much focus on the football team and money, and not academics.
I dont follow CU or their goings on, but I had heard that they have a cache of Nobel Laureates. And who cares about the football team? Arent they terrible this year?
Go Metro Roadrunners!
If you are really interested check out the DVD named “declining by degree”. It is a scathing critique of the US higher education system, and why the price of college is going up while the value is going down.
If I remember right, a couple years ago in the middle of the breaking story about the CU football program, one of the Denver papers ran a quote from a Physics professor at CU. It was something like this: I just don’t understand why everyone is so surprised. The football team has always been an embarrassment to this university.
I laughed for a good few minutes at that.
i didnt say CU is all bad…in fact i greatly respect and appreciate some of the guys at the natural resource law center there (a few of the premier experts on water law reside at CU).
however, i cant stand it when a college continually gets tons of press for all the wrong reasons and doesnt make sweeping changes to show their resolve for changing. and david, i commend your daughter’s decision. while i believe intelligent people are at/have attended CU, far superior educations can be had elsewhere.
If my math is right Steve Ludwig picked up over 30,000 votes from November 7 to today.
What was the final vote difference between Ken Gordon and Mike Coffman?
Did Ritter beat Beauprez by more than 18 points with the final count in?
