| Colorado may toss 35,600 mail-in ballots over ID problems |
| 2008-10-31 |
| More than 35,000 newly registered Colorado voters could see their mail ballots tossed out because of confusion over the need to include a copy of their ID with their votes.The state requires county clerks to verify the identification of all new voters. Often, it's as simple as comparing a driver's license number on a voter registration form to the state's motor vehicle database. |

| #6 OH, and you must SIGN the envelope on the outside, in the box CLEARLY MARKED "Sign Here" on the AFFIDAVIT OF VOTER (where you state under penalty of perjury that you are an eligible elector, signature name and address are accurate. Basically its enough that if you are being fraudulent you wold NOT want to sign it, but if you are honest its no biggie. |

| #5 THe ballot instructions are well marked and very eay to understand if you are not an idiot. If you your ballot envelope (which has your name and address pre-printed on it) has black upper left corner or no mark on your return envelope, you do not need to send anything other than the ballot. If your ballot return envelope has a RED stripe, then you must encloise ID with your ballot. That ID is a photocopy of... Colorado Driver's license valid passport valid card issued by the dept of revenue US military ID that has a photo birth certificate naturalization certificate Or several other documents. Its a gigantic DUH! if |

| #1 I wonder if this counts against the ACORN total? If they are legitimate voters after all, they can try voting on Tuesday. |
