Re: Posting individual precinct results at each precinct ?

Group;

Is there any new or updated information on this question of Boulder
County posting precinct results at each precinct ?

The Colorado state laws regarding this are below in this email.

Are the individual precint results available on the web ?

My understanding is in all other counties around Boulder County,
individual precinct results were posted.
Correct me if I am wrong....

If true, how is  Boulder County able to not comply with this rule. ?

Cheers,  Peter Richards
