Jan Tyler (former Denver Election Commissioner) makes her case against the charter change we'll all be voting on in the January 30th special election in today's Rocky Mountain News. She writes, "Surprise! Denver is hosting an emergency election on Jan. 30. Why so fast? City leaders are hoping to capitalize on voter anger about the Election Day debacle of 2006. And they don't want to give voters time to consider fully the merits of their so-called solution.
For instance, they don't want voters to dwell on the fact that the city has hired Sequoia Voting Systems to provide ballots and other services for this election. Sequoia was responsible for the shoddy e-pollbook software that broke down last November, making voters wait for up to three hours at the polls. Sequoia was responsible for incorrectly printing and mailing 44,000 absentee ballots with the 'yes' and 'no' boxes transposed. Sequoia was responsible for misprinting bar codes on absentee ballots, delaying the vote count for weeks after the election. Sequoia was responsible, but city leaders refuse to hold Sequoia accountable."
Be sure to read the whole article. Here's the link to NoCharterChange.org, Ms. Tyler's website.

Coyote Gulch received a shout out this morning in Dave Kopel's column in the Rocky Mountain News. Mr. Kopel writes, "CoyoteGulch.net is a left-leaning blog with a special focus on Colorado water issues. By collecting water news from sources all over the state, CoyoteGulch proves a great resource on a critical Colorado issue, even if you disagree with CoyoteGulch's water policy viewpoint." Thanks!.
We're wondering if this'll help us get that press credential for the 2008 Democratic National Convention? It can't hurt.
