As Erie Mayor Andrew Moore notified readers of his MooreInfo newsletter this weekend, some folks in Erie and the Boulder Valley School District using absentee mail-in ballots received the wrong ones. How do you know if you received a wrong ballot? If you live in the BVSD side of Erie you should have measure 3A regarding the BVSD bond issue on the ballot. If this is not on your ballot, your ballot is incorrect. Apparently this is being corrected by Boulder County and calls are being made to let people know before you vote.
I also read in the last few days an article about a guy who received two ballots, same address, same name, etc. When I find the online link I'll post it. Granted, it's a felony to try to vote twice, so it's unlikely duplicate ballots are widespread or going to lead to massive voter fraud. But it still makes you wonder whats going on in the Elections Division.
And if you have decided to vote by absentee ballot (like 30,000 people have already decided) the County sent out a press release making sure voters know it's going to cost you at the post office. Due to the size of the ballot, voters will need to add $0.63 in postage if they mail back their voted ballot.
Voters may also drop off their ballot at any of the County Clerk and Recorder offices during regular business hours or during special drive-by drop-off dates. All absentee ballots being cast must be in the hands of the County Clerk no later than 7:00p.m. on Election Day, November 7.

This whole mail in your ballot thing has gotten out of hand. Why, when I was young, you looked forward to any excuse to skip work. What is the younger generation coming to, anyway? Don't they wish for the longest voter lines possible - so they can miss even more work? As they say in Chicago, go early, vote often and then head to the bar. Voting used to be an honor, a priveledge and a chance to goof off.
