I just went to vote in downtown Colorado Springs......

First think I noticed was that they had about 20 parking spaces reserved in front of the Centennial Center which made it very difficult to find a place to park. After driving around the block a couple of times, I managed to find an empty parking space.

Then I walked about 200 yards to the voting place. Good lines with people coming and going - did not seem to be too much deterred by the "no parking" spaces. Since I have to go to work shortly, I did not have time to wait and vote. I will attempt again later.

1. Why Were Those Spaces Reserved?

Is there construction going on there, or are the repubs in charge in El Paso County trying to suppress the vote.

I voted last Saturday in Pueblo. I was able to drive right up to the Pueblo County Court House, park in a handicapped spot (regular spots were also available), walk in, and only waited a few minutes to vote.

2. I think they are having a concert tonight at the City Auditorium....

which is right by the Centennial Center?? But it all looked rather fishy to me....but I have a trained eye for such shenanigans.

3. If I Remember Correctly.....

...they had "NO PARKING" boots on the parking meters down there during an election a few years ago.

Maybe they figure that mostly Democrats do the early voting thing, and they're trying to suppress it. Wouldn't put it past them....
