Sunrise & Acceptance

Don’t worry! I won’t be posting only about sunrises from our back deck. But, these colorful starts to our recent days were particularly spectacular. I think they deserve to be posted for their beauty as well as a reminder that there are things to be grateful for — small and big — even during pandemic times.

By the way, Mui and I both received notifications from BallotTrax today. The first message was to advise us that our ballots had been received. The second message advised us that our ballots have been accepted.

Acceptance means that the signature on the ballot envelope has been verified against the signature on file. Colorado does this immediately upon receipt.

Counting of early votes in this state begins 15 days prior to Election Day. Technically, we’re within that time frame, so our ballots may well have been counted already. No way to know if that’s the case. Even though Colorado is an all-mail vote state, there is still an in-person voting option. Besides, legally, the vote count won’t be released until after 7:00p MST on Election Day. We’ll just have to wait until then. Patience is a virtue they say!Les mer
