Re: Followup - posting results at precincts ?

[Peter or Alison Richards <aprichards@xxxxxxxx>]

So how do folks find out the respective votes cast for whomever, at each
local precinct in Boulder County ?

I just looked through the Boulder County Clerk website, and there is no
precinct information there.

Boulder County used to provide this information to us...

Do other counties provide this information ?
