Colorado Election Officials Address Ballot Error Affecting 800,000 Voters

Colorado Election Officials Address Ballot Error Affecting 800,000 Voters

Colorado election officials are working to rectify a significant ballot error that resulted in approximately 800,000 voters in Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, and Weld counties receiving ballots with a sales tax hike question (Issue 7A) they should not have. The question pertains to establishing a new 0.333% sales and use tax to generate $295 million annually and allow the Front Range Passenger Rail District to incur $580 million in debt for a new passenger rail line. While the rail district spans 13 counties, only voters within its revised boundaries should have received this question. The error occurred because the rail district failed to communicate the updated electoral boundaries to the counties.

Wildlife photographer Monica Breckenridge has also filmed Smash chasing cars and golf carts this season, and OutKick reported similar incidents last year.
