Thanks for trying to help people vote in the APS/CNM election in Feb. However, the page you link to is for the default polling place for statewide elections. For info on this election, they should go to the special page for it on the County Clerk's website. There, the polling places for the consolidated precincts are listed several ways. Go to Bernco.gov/clerk and click on "APS / CNM Election Information"
on the upper right of the page.
Scroll down to the "Voting on Election Day" heading for alpha and numberical lists of polling places.
Thanks for posting that info. APS didn't exactly knock themselves out on their "world class website" to help voters out.
Michelle,
Thank you so much for the heads up; I will repair it asap.

Ched,
What will happen to you on January 13 as you make your way into the school board candiate forum inside the City Centre? Will esquivel order his guard dogs to "arrest" you? If so, on what grounds? Are you anticipating the "arrest?" Should I contact the media before January 13 so that the TV cameras can capture first hand esquivel's usurpation of power? If you are physically prevented from participating in the school board candiate forum, then will (can) you sue esquivel and APS?
Nothing will happen.
I will walk in as though Esquivel and Tellez had never restrained my exercise of constitutionally protected human rights.
They will act as though nothing ever happened.
The legacy media will remain oblivious.
Ched,
If they are going to "act" like nothing happened, can the audience ask pointed questions, such as 'Hey Ched, where have you been? We've missed you!"
If this forum is like every forum so far, members of the audience are not allowed to ask questions directly.
If they are allowed to ask questions as all, they are then "filtered" by a third party, before they are asked.
I feel confident that I will be able to illuminate Mr Esquivel's several mis, non, and mal-feasances.
Just show up, bring a friend or two, and don't vote until after the forum.
