The Denver Election Commission will be holding hearings on their plans to adopt voting centers over traditional precinct voting, according to the Rocky Mountain News [December 23, 2005, "Public input sought on voter-center plan"]. From the article, "Traditional precinct-based polling places have always been used in Denver elections, with the exception of two vote-by-mail contests in 2001 and 2003. The commission is moving to vote centers as a cost-cutting measure. Plans call for having up to 35 vote centers by the August primary. Alton said that suggested locations for vote centers, and concerns about those locations, will be among the topics discussed at the meetings. All of the meetings will be on the second floor of the Denver Election Commission, 200 W. 14th Ave. The meetings will be at 3 p.m. Wednesday, 5:30 p.m. Jan. 10 and 3 p.m. Jan. 18."
Meanwhile several Republicans are attempting to move a citizen initiative about campaign financing to the ballot for November, according to the Rocky Mountain News [December 23, 2005, "Campaign initiative under way"]. From the article, "Their proposal would: Strike campaign finance limits to candidates, unless the state legislature sees a need for limits; Allow corporations to donate to candidates; Require that campaigns during an election year report all financial activities every 48 hours; Require the secretary of state to immediately post that campaign finance activity in a format that lets voters easily figure out where the money is coming from."
Coyote Gulch recommends RSS 2.0 for the format.
