Whew...thanks Alice! I will be forwarding this on to the CO Democrats AND several friends. Interesting to note, when I went to electronically vote, I asked if the machines were Diebold. They didn't know. I couldn't find any makers' marks, but have since found out they are not. I also stopped mid-voting and asked to clear it and be able to come back later. They tol dme they couldn't do that, that I had to finish voting. I protested but they wouldn't budge. I later called the Director or Elections. She called them and told them they most certainly can stop a vote, at the request of the individual voter. When I told her I felt my voter rights had been violated and I wanted to rescind my vote then vote by absentee ballot (something I didn't know the Dems were asking all to do) she checked with the Sec. of State who said no, because it would be double voting. The only thing she could offer was a "provisional vote" which I have to go fill out there. Then, they check the records, see if I'd already voted. If I don't show up, not likely, then they would use the provisional vote. Needless to say, I am kicking myself for not insisting they call her while i was there. Even though this is a predominately GOP stronghold, I don't think the voting place people were doing it on purpose. I think they were just ignorant.
