THE DENVER ELECTION COMMISSION IS IN TROUBLE!! PLEASE HELP!!!
They didn’t get enough election judges! Lines are long. And if someone leaves without voting their vote is lost! They need 100 people to help. Go to 303 W Colfax 1st floor ASAP but no later than 5PM, ask for Katheryn Archuletta (tell them you’re there to be an election judge), you’ll be trained and sent to a vote center.

You must be a registered voter AND a resident of Denver to be an election judge in Denver County.
