RE: Boulder County warns of inaccurate voting info automated calls



Lou,

You should contact the paper and demand a speedy correction to the erroneous
"6 PM Monday" notice in the paper.

Absentee ballots received by "7 PM Tuesday" must be counted.

Somebody might decide to not hand deliver their ballot due to this
misinformation.

Only until 6 pm?  It has always been until 7 pm times past!
