Vote today, you crazy kids!
Here's the link to Coyote Gulch's coverage of Tuesday's General Municipal Election. Additional links and coverage from Fail the Jail, and Safe Denver.com, DenverGov and the Denver Public Library.
You can find the address for your polling place at DenverMaps or download a .pdf of locations from the Election commission.
The winner of the Gulchie Award for the Referred Question 1A election is Fali the Jail.org. The vastly underfunded movement to stop the new justice center won over Safe Denver.com.
Fail the Jail kept their content more current and provided an email list. Their website sought to inform while the Safe Denver website seemed to only be there to recruit supporters and collect donations. Fail the Jail provided the ballot language and links to informal polls on the issue.
Safe Denver posted links to all three commercials. Fail the Jail did not have enough dough to run commercials in the first place so the two sites could not be compared on this issue. Fail the Jail did put up video from a community rally. The video provided by both sides was in QuickTime format showing an inclusive attitude for all desktop computer users. Both websites were well organized with easy to follow navigation.
Neither campaign used a weblog in the election. Coyote Gulch thinks that this was a huge mistake. What better way to get the word out without having to depend on the Rocky and the Post? Safe Denver was the more attractive site adding to the well funded image.
Coyote Gulch failed to find an online presence for Referred Question 1B so there is no Gulchie in that election.
