Hickenlooper is warning against any attempts to disrupt Colorado's
first legislative recall election.
In a statement Monday, Hickenlooper said that there have been
disturbing reports of people going to the polls not to vote but to
"disrupt the process."
Spokesman Eric Brown says there have been reports of people asking
for ballots but walking away without casting them in El Paso and
Pueblo counties. He said the missing ballots could be used as a
reason to challenge the results of the election.
The Pueblo county clerk says three people apparently didn't cast
ballots on electronic machines after being given cards to activate
them Saturday. Election judges there are now inserting the cards on
behalf of voters.

About that Albuquerque Campaign Finance Law

Following up on this post <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=55123>, a few
readers have alerted me to the current political composition of the
Albuquerque city council and contended that the current council would be
unlikely to reenact this law.
Perhaps that means there won't even be an appeal.
