Denver elections officials are trying to determine what happened to more than 11,000 mail ballots that are unaccounted for.
The U.S. Postal Service said Friday afternoon that its Denver mail processing facility received 10,364 ballots on Oct. 16 and delivered them within a couple days.
But the California printing company hired by Denver Elections said it delivered 21,450 ballots to the postal facility on that date.
The discrepancy has prompted Denver Election Director Michael Scarpello to ask Sequoia Voting Systems to give him paperwork to prove that the Porterville, Calif., printing plant shipped the ballots.
My wife still hasn’t received hers. What a disaster.

Why is Denver using a California-based company to print its ballots and deliver them to the post office? Is it because it’s cheaper?!
Isn’t the company rep required to witness the ballots being mailed at the post office, as well?
Bizarre.
Denver is using the same company that Palm Beach County, Florida used during the 2000 “hanging chads” election.

…can they still vote provisionally at a polling place? After it’s confirmed that a person didn’t submit two ballots, the provisional ballot will count, right? Of course, this is extra work for the elections division and will slow down the count. It feels like the process of voting has gone back in time.
You can cast aprovisional ballot if you are supposed to recieve a mail in ballot.
If you have a spoiled mail ballot (you make an error or the ballot is otherwise unuseable) you can turn it in at the county clerk and cast a regular ballot.
I am not sure they are counted on the first count since the CCR has 2 weeks to verify a provsional ballot.
The Denver elections division (or CCR in other counties) can void a missing ballot and give you a new regular ballot.
You have to go to the DED or CCR, but if you do it will deinitely be counted unlike a Proisional which may only be counted on a later count.
…vs. simply unused? I thought everyone who requested a mail ballot could vote on site only provisionally.
I thought it was in all circumstances, but acording to Dan Willis, the CCR/DED can issue a regular ballot.
These are for people whose ballots were lost in the mail, or if they made an error on them. But they do have to go to the office to do this. We cannot do it at an early vote site.
The error issue is showing up quite a bit in Denver. People are having a difficult time with the judge retention questions. A fairly large number of people have accidentially maked “yes” and “no” on the same judge and have requested new ballots because of this. I am not sure what can be done to make this easier on future ballots, except maybe but a little white space between each of the selections.
Other counties have this same ability, but I do not know their exact procedures.
vote yes and no on the same judge, is the ballot completely voided, or just that one race?
I was told that by an supervising election judge. I saw it happen alot when I was poll watching.
A bigger problem is the number of people on the ballot for president.
They send me a replacement ballot just for that error.
