From The Denver Post, "Lawmakers crafting the specifics of how Colorado's elections will look this year are considering pushing back a requirement that counties report their results by precinct. Sen. Ken Gordon, a Denver Democrat who is drafting a bill to put this year's elections plan into law, said delaying the precinct-reporting requirement for a year would take pressure off county clerks. 'I think that solves a lot of problems,' he said. Gov. Bill Ritter and a bipartisan group of legislative leaders announced last week that they support using traditional paper ballots filled out at polling places this year. The announcement came in response to the uncertainty created when many of Colorado's electronic voting machines were decertified, leaving many counties without a way to hold elections. Large counties typically have dozens of ballot styles for the various city, school-district, water-district and fire-district elections a voter might be eligible to vote in. Further splitting those ballot styles into small precincts would mean some counties could have hundreds of ballot styles in a given election."
