RE: 1/5 Boulder Weekly voting article: Does your vote count?

["Some Guy" <someguy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interestingly, many of us were interviewed and Grace has chosen to write
this as a war between Josh and Al. But the BW is entitled to do that for a
bit, since they didn't report on the war between Tom and Al.

Hardly a mention of Linda's bungling; Hart's propensity to play fast and
loose with history and the facts; etc.

One thing that bothers me is that this story says that the county rejected
the report of the ERC. Only Linda Salas rejected our report, writing a long
winded response in which we were told what she would do. Well she's not
following her own recommendations either.

The clue that Linda is not in charge is that the commissioners didn't simply
give her $5M and ask her to use her best judgment. Someone who's already
proven that blowing $1.7M (not the 1.5M in this story) on junk that can't
count high school ACT tests, much less 168,000 ballots without choking.

There's no call to fight with Linda or the elections staff. Only with the
commissioners.
