Filled out my ballot using the blue book and various sources of media opinion and talking to friends (for example calling a librarian friend about tax money for the library, the local liquor store owner for issues about initiatives about that, etc.), walked all of a mile to put it into a secure drop box in front of the mental health center (always cracks me up), walked the mile home on a glorious fall day. No protesters or gun toting watchers.

That’s how we do it here in Colorado. Easy. Because it should be easy. For everyone. Every time. Make it a holiday.

Vote.
