Reply #42: Not much trouble here in Colorado. [View All]

Here's what we've compiled:

In Weld County, numerous Spanish-speaking voters were having difficulty casting their ballots because the county did not provide a ballot in Spanish, and only a few translators were available to explain them.

Colorado Progressive Coalition spokeswoman Angie Diaz says she doesn't know how many voters are affected, but about 20 people called the group with concerns.

Weld County Clerk and Recorder Steve Moreno says he's received no voter complaints, adding that the county is not required to print instructions in Spanish, but translators are posted at some polling places and others are available if needed.

Meanwhile, at the Christ Community Church at Hampden and Colorado, the Denver Elections Commission says the polling judges were missing names beginning with G through U on their voter registration rolls. Once the commission learned of the mishap, they got a new book out to the location within a half hour.

At Manuel High School, touch screen machines were in use for disabled voters, but were not working properly. Denver officials say they are no longer using the touch screens and instead are using paper ballots.

Voting at Green Valley Ranch Rec Center was disrupted briefly when a drunk man arrived at the polling location and refused to leave. Denver Police were called in and asked the man to leave. He left without incident.

At the Church of the Risen Christ in Denver, and at two other polling places, there was a shortage of secrecy sleeves. Denver County Clerk and Recorder Stephanie O'Malley says voters are able to cast their vote without a secrecy sleeve, if needed.

Not bad, and looks like everyone's handling things pretty well.
