the cured votes:

Q5. If I am voting by mail, when must the county clerk and recorder receive my ballot?

A5. Mail ballots must be received by the county clerk and recorder no later than 7:00 PM on Election Day. Voters are encouraged to drop off ballots at designated drop off locations, drop-box locations, or mail their ballots in time to be received by the county clerk before the polls close. Postmarks do not count; ballots must be in the hands of the county clerk by 7:00 PM on Election Day in order to be counted.

Drop-box locations are open and are under video surveillance 24/7. A bi-partisan team of election judges will regularly retrieve ballots from the drop-box locations to be sent to the central counting location in the county for processing.

3. I'm not hopeful. Might stay close enough for a recount, but Boebart is still ahead.

Update: she is up about 1100 votes with 99 percent in. And in Colorado, I just read, all votes must be in by election night so no more trickling in by mail the few days after election.

I usually wouldn't give an idiot like Bobert a second thought, but she is a special flavor of malicious, gun toting, crazy.

6. Military/Overseas and cured ballots

Military and Overseas almost are always are returned very early. They generally don't trail in. Sure there will be some but not many

Cured ballots....(Don't know how many this will be) Many cured ballot were likely cured by the first count. On Election Night, Bexar County had 300/30,000 mail ballots left to cure. However, this is Texas and there were more ballots than usual to be cured because of changes in the VBM laws.

I was pretty pissed about this a few days ago because a reporter was touting how she was down and everything left to count favored her opponent. But DUers set me straight... basically a CO election official was spouting off numbers that were just guesses rather than facts and the overzealous reporter (who, to his own credit, was pretty clearly hoping boebert would lose) couldn't wait to report the numbers.

So everyone thought she was going to lose and we were all dumbfounded when the areas that were supposed to favor bobo's opponent starting coming in for her and she took the lead.

unfortunately, she's here for two more years.
