In reply to the discussion: Despite tightened vote totals, Boebert is still (maybe) toast [View all]bigtree
(86,137 posts)70. my answer is that obviously someone in the political wing of the news orgs believes there are votes
...outstanding that could make the difference, because they haven't called it.
I don't have those numbers yet. We have to wait and see.
If anything significant comes my way, I'll share it, but Wasserman isn't saying anything more than we already know. This will be an uphill climp, since Pueblo
didn't produce.
But look, in the 2020 election, 11,085 ballots w/ signature issues were cured via the TXT2Cure program. Boom!
To use TXT2Cure, voters should text Colorado to 2VOTE (28638) and then enter their voter ID number, which is printed on the notice they receive in the mail. They should affirm that they indeed returned a ballot in the election, sign the affidavit on their phone, take a photo of an acceptable form of ID and click Submit. This transmits the voters information to their county clerk, allowing their vote to be counted in the election.
In the 2020 election, 11,085 ballot signature issues were resolved using TXT2Cure, allowing those ballots cast by Colorado voters to be counted. In that same election, 21,803 Colorado ballots were ultimately rejected due to a signature discrepancy, and 1,584 were rejected due to having no signature, according to data provided by the secretary of states office.

Here is what the Denver Post says. My question is where is Frisch going to get 1,000 plus votes?

Does Fox News have enough spaces for all these losers--Boebert, Kari Lake, Mastriano?
