FW: ballot typo



Okay – show me the typo (scroll down). There isn’t one.

The word ‘November’ appears once in the sentence, which is all it needs to.  If there had been a comma the first appearance of the word ‘year’, then a second occurrence of the word ‘year’ might be warranted.

 

This was written by lawyers. Lawyers tend to create the world’s longest run on sentences. It is simple and I understand what it says. Calling it the ‘other issue’ means to me that you don’t know what it says, or what it is about.

This is about coordinated elections. If this does not pass then Boulder may very well have to have a separate election from the county. This is very costly and really quite pointless.

 

I urge everyone in COB to understand what this issue is about and vote you opinion accordingly. And if you still don’t get it, then OVERVOTE your ballot to prevent fraud.

PS: this was a snipe hunt. Thanks so much for enabling me to completely waste my time looking into this (albeit I had a very pleasant chat with Alisa Lewis, whom you could have called on your own).

AMENDMENT OF THE MUNICIPAL GENERAL ELECTION DATE TO CONFORM WITH THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO

 

Shall Section 22 of the Charter be amended to change the date of the general municipal election from the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each odd-numbered year to the first Tuesday in each odd-numbered year in order to allow Boulder elections to conform with the dates specified in the Constitution of the State of Colorado?
