Caller received a phone call from an organization identifying themselves as coloradodems.org, telling her to be sure and
vote Democrat in tomorrow's election, and giving her an address for a polling
place that is not her correct polling place. From using *69, she retrieved
the phone number from which the call originated. When she called this number,
she received an instant busy signal. She called the listed phone no. for
www.coloradodems.org on their website, and they said they were not familiar
with the phone campaign in question. Caller lives in a historically African
American district. She has a saved copy of the voice mail from the phone call
she received. Caller called back to inform us that this incident will be
reported in the Denver Post tomorrow morning Source is from a Portland Oregon
phone number. [P] |

Registered in Sept. 2004. Came to polling place (436) and was
told her name was not on list. The poll worker gave voter a provisional
ballot. Poll worker gave voter incorrect precinct info, then
found correct info after voter asked them to double-check. Poll worker told
voter they could not return provisional ballot already submitted. Second poll
worker told voter that she could request that her provisional ballot be
cancelled and should vote at correct location. Voter ran out of time and had
to leave. |

Caller has a Kerry-Edwards sign on her lawn. The "96 Hour
Victory Team" went around her neighborhood with door hangers stating who
people should vote for. The hangers state they are paid for by the Colorado
Republican Party. On the hanger, it states what your polling location is.
Caller's polling location was stated incorrectly, but her neighbor, who does
not have a Kerry-Edwards sign, was correct. Caller has left a message at the
county clerk's office regarding this incident and has also kept the hanger. |
