>>> HELLO, I'M KYLE DYER AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT ON THIS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH.

ELECTION DAY IS THIS COMING TUESDAY.

THE NUMBER OF EARLY BALLOTS BEING CAST IS PICKING UP.

HERE AT COLORADO INSIDE OUT WE ARE ENTERING THIS FINAL STRETCH WITH PATTY CALHOUN THE FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWORD.

ERIC SONDERMANN COLUMNIST WITH COLORADO POLITICS AND ALSO TONIGHT WE HAVE AMBER McREYNOLDS.

SHE IS THE FORMER DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER.

PATTY, LAST WEEKEND WAS HALLOWEEN SEEMS LIKE FOREVER AGO.

THERE WAS A BALLOTS COMING IN BUT THEY ARE PICKING UP.

>> THEY ARE DEFINITELY PICKING UP.

TOO LATE TO MAIL THEM.

YOU WILL HAVE TO DROP THEM OFF AT A DROP BOX OR VOTING CENTERS.

WHAT ISN'T PICKING UP THIS QUICKLY IS THE PACE OF UNAFFILIATED VOTERS WHO WILL DECIDE THIS ELECTION.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 3.8 MILLION VOTERS OUT OF 4.3 REGISTERED VOTERS.

OVER 1.7 MILLION ARE UNAFFILIATED.

A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE HAVE VOTED COMPARED TO THE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WHO ARE ALMOST A THIRD A MILLION REGISTERED.

THOSE WILL BE THE DECISION MAKERS.

THEY COULD MAKE THE DECISION IN THE GUBERNATORIAL OR SENATE RACE.

MAYBE IN THE SECRETARY OF STATE RACE.

WE COULD STILL SEE A BIG SURGE AND PEOPLE LOOK AT THIS BIG BALLOT AND DECIDE HOW THEY WILL FILL IT OUT.

>> THE BALLOT BILL IS TOUGH TO TALK ABOUT WITH THE SUDDEN DEATH OF HUE McKEEN.

WE HEARD SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT HIM.

>> IT WAS A BIG LOSS.

NOT JUST FOR REPUBLICANS BUT FOR THE STATE AS A WHOLE.

DEMOCRATS LIKE HOUSE SPEAKER GARNETT NOT THAT THEY VOTED THE SAME WAY.

IMPROVED THE CIVILITY AND REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

HE HAS A -- LEAVES BEHIND A YOUNG SON WITH DOWN SYNDROME WHICH MAKES IT ALL THE MORE SAD.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPRESSING CONDOLENCES.

A LOT WILL CHANGE WHEN THE LEGISLATURE STARTS.

>> IT IS.

DAVID NAILED IT WITH RESPECT TO HUGH McCAIN.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE IN THE CAPITAL THAT ARE RESPECTED.

HUGH McCAIN TRANSITED TO THE RESPECTED CATEGORY TO THE BELOVED CATEGORY.

HE PUT THE STATE ABOVE PARTY.

HE PUT IT PARTY ABOVE CRAZINESS.

BOTH OF THOSE ARE IN HUGE DEMAND TODAY.

HE WILL BE MISSED.

>> HE MENTIONED HE WAS OPTISTIC THAT REPUBLICANS CUT INTO THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.

FOR REPUBLICANS TOO, AS PATTY MENTIONED THEY WILL NEED THEIR BASE COME OUT.

>> THE MAJORITY OF VOTERS IN COLORADO ARE UNAFFILIATED.

45% AND GROWING.

AND A BIG PORTION OF THAT, I'M ACTUALLY UNAFFILIATED MYSELF.

A BIG PORTION ARE YOUNGER VOTERS THE 18-24 DEMOGRAPHIC.

IN FACT, IT EXCEEDS 60% IN TERMS OF REGISTRATION COMING IN.

UNAFFILIATES WILL BE THE DECIDERS IN FUTURE ELECTIONS TO COME.

THEY ARE THE ONES THAT DECIDE AND CONTINUE TO DECIDE.

I THINK THERE IS A NUMBER OF HIGH PROFILE ISSUES THAT WILL BE INTERESTING TO LOOK AT WHEN THE ELECTION RESULTS COME ON.

>> COLORADO IS SAID TO HAVE ONE OF THE MOST SECURE ELECTION SYSTEMS IN THE COUNTRY.

DAVID, WE HAVE THAT STATISTIC, 50% HAVE DOUBTS OF ELECTION OUTCOMES.

THERE ARE THE QUESTIONS AND THE THREATS THAT REMAIN IN THE POLLING SITES.

>> THE EVER SHRINKING REPUBLICAN PARTY USED THEIR LEGAL AUTHORITY TO PULL SEVERAL OF THE PARTIES POLL WATCHERS.

SHE DOES HAVE THE AUTHORITY.

IT IS NOT LIKE ANYONE DID ANYTHING BAD.

THIS LITTLE FACTION SHE DEMANDS EVERYTHING BE SO TIGHTLY UNDER HER CONTROL AND BE LOYAL TO HER, NOT LOYAL TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

SHE DOESN'T ENDORSE.

PART OF IT IS THE EL PASO COUNTY PARTY WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE BIG NUMBERS THAT CAN HELP A REPUBLICAN WIN STATEWIDE HASN'T BEEN DOING THAT.

>> THE PRESIDENT CAME OUT AND SPOKE PRIME TIME HE IS CONCERNED CANDIDATES RUNNING RIGHT NOW WHO SAY I MIGHT NOT ACCEPT THE OUTCOME.

>> I'M NOT SURE JOE BIDEN IS NOT THE GREATEST MESSAGER.

WHERE THERE IS JOE BIDEN AND MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO MAKE THE CASE.

YOU NEED MORE REPUBLICANS MAKING THE CASE.

IT IS REFLECTED IN THE POLL THAT YOU SAID, KYLE.

I'M SITTING HERE ON THIS PANEL WITH AS MUCH EXPERT AS THIS COUNTRY HAS ON BOTH DEMOCRATIC VOTING PROCEDURES AND THE SECURITY OF ELECTIONS.

NEITHER PARTY IS COVERED THEMSELVES IN GLORY.

STACEY ABRAMS IS RUNNING AGAIN FOR GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA REFUSED TO CONCEDE HER RACE BACK IN 2018 EVEN THOUGH SHE LOST THE RACE BY NORTH OF 50 THOUSAND VOTES.

SHE SEE HOW SHE FAIRS COME TUESDAY.

DONALD TRUMP IT WAS COMPLETELY PLANNED.

HE TELEGRAPHED HIS PUNCH IN THE PAST IF HE CAME UP SHORT HE WOULD BASICALLY DENY THE OUTCOME AND MORE OR LESS REFUSED TO LEAVE.

IT IS AWFULLY HARD TO GET IT BACK IN THE BOTTLE.

THAT IS OUR CHALLENGE.

IS TO RESTORE THAT DECENCY AND CONFIDENCE WHERE, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU WIN AND SOMETIMES YOU LOSE.

AND WHEN YOU LOSE YOU CONDUCT YOURSELF WITH DIGNITY AND HONOR AND LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY.

>> AMBER, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE LEGITIMACY IN COLORADO.

WHEN YOU WERE IN OFFICE WITH DENVER.

YOU CREATED THE TRACKING SYSTEM.

WE CAN SEE WHERE OUR BALLOT IS AND HOW IT IS BEING COUNTED.

WHEN YOU LOOK WHAT IS GOING ON NOW, WHAT GOES THROUGH YOUR MIND?

YOU KNOW WHEN THAT BALLOT GOES IN THE BOX, IT IS SECURE.

>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT, KYLE.

I'M GLAD YOU PULL UP BALLOT TRACKING.

NOW THE ENTIRE STATE HAS ACCESS TO THAT SYSTEM.

NOW 100 MILLION VOTERS HAVE ACCESS TO THAT SAME TECHNOLOGY.

THAT STARTED HERE IN COLORADO.

IT DISCUSS IMPROVE ACCESSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE BALLOT.

I THINK THAT IS A TESTAMENT TO COLORADO.

RESPOND TO THE VOTERS NEEDS AND MEET WHERE THEY ARE AND BUILD SECURITY AROUND THE SYSTEM SO THAT PEOPLE DO HAVE TRUST AND CONFIDENCE.

AND THE UNFORTUNATE THING YOU MENTIONED THIS A FEW MINUTES AGO IS THAT LEADERS HAVE THE REASON THAT VOTERS HAVE DISTRUST IS THE LEADERS THEY FOLLOW HAVE BEEN LYING TO THEM ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF THE 2020 ELECTION.

SO DEMOCRACY VERY MUCH IS ON THE BALLOT.

IT IS ON THE BALLOT EVERY SINGLE ELECTION CYCLE.

I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE THAT VOTERS WILL MAKE GOOD DECISIONS.

WE HAVE TO TRUST VOTERS TO DO THAT.

THE HEROES OF THE DAY ARE THE ELECTION OFFICIALS ON THE FRONT LINE THAT ARE WORKING TO PROCESS BALLOTS, DELIVER ELECTION RESULTS TIMELY.

WE ALSO HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE SPACE AND THE TIME AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES TO GET IT RIGHT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE TRUST.

I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN COLORADO ELECTION OFFICIALS TO RUN THIS ELECTION AND DELIVER FOR THE PEOPLE OF COLORADO.

>> I'M CURIOUS IN CHARGE OF WESTWORD DO YOU COVER ELECTION NIGHT DIFFERENTLY THAN YOU MIGHT 10-15 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF THE MOOD OF THE COUNTRY.

>> WE STILL COVER IT AS POSSIBLE.

WE KNOW THIS YEAR EVEN IF THE BALLOTS ARE COUNTED QUICKLY AND IN COLORADO SOMETIMES THAT WORKS IN SOME EASY ELECTIONS.

OTHER TIMES IT WILL TAKE HOURS.

I HAVE COMPLETE FAITH IN COLORADO'S ELECTION SYSTEM.

EVERYONE SHOULD.

YOU LOOK WHAT AMBER HAS DONE.

YOU LOOK AT WAYNE WILLIAMS WHO LOST BUT STILL WILLING TO GO FORWARD.

LOOKING TO GO OUT WITH INCUMBENT AND TALK HOW SECURE THIS SYSTEM IS.

SO YOU HAVE A STATE THAT IS THE GOLD STANDARD.

BUT YOU STILL ARE ABLE TO HAVE TINA PETERS GO WACKY.

THEN 50% THINK IT IS NOT SOMETHING THEY CAN BELIEVE.

SO THIS YEAR WE WILL HAVE DEBATES GOING ON ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND CHALLENGES.

WHEN IT IS OVER, AND ACCOUNTS ARE DONE.

YOU WILL HAVE PEOPLE COMPLAINING.

ASKING FOR RECOUNTS.

HOPEFULLY NOT IN COLORADO.

>> LET'S HOPE.

YOU MENTIONED SECRETARY OF STATE OFFICE.

THE ONES CONSIDERED LOW KEY RACE IS ANYTHING BUT THAT.

MANY STATES NOT JUST COLORADO, THIS RACE HAS BECOME VERY POLITICAL.

>> IN COLORADO, PAM ANDERSON IN MANY CASES THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE HAS BEEN ONLY REPUBLICAN INCLUDING THE DENVER POST BUT ENDORSE PAM ANDERSON AS THE ONE REPUBLICAN.

I'VE DELIVERED A FEW OF THE HITS.

BUT IF YOU TURN ON YOUR TELEVISION.

JENA GRISWOLD IS THERE HOUR AND HOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF ADDS.

AND PAM ANDERSON IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

I THINK THAT IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR.

>> SOMEONE WHO IS INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS HOW DO YOU FEEL THE SECRETARY OF STATE BECOMING SO POLITICIZED?

>> I THINK IT PRESENTS A NUMBER OF CHALLENGES NOT ONLY IN COLORADO BUT NATIONALLY.

MOST SECRETARIES ARE IN FRONT ELECTED IN A PARTISAN ELECTION IN THIS COUNTRY.

SOME ARE APPOINTED.

SOME ARE NOT.

YEARS AGO WHEN WE HAD SECRETARY OF STATE SCOTT THERE WAS A REPORT WRITTEN THAT PRESENTED THREE DIFFERENT MODELS THAT WOULD MOVE THE SECRETARY STATE RACES TO COORDINATED BALLOT AS A NONPARTISAN RACE OR PERHAPS THE SEPARATE DEPARTMENT FROM ANY ELECTED OFFENSES.

THERE IS, I THINK WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION, LOOK AT THE BEST STRUCTURES.

THERE MIGHT BE BETTER WAYS TO DO IT GIVEN THESE RACES HAVE BECOME PARTISAN EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE TECHNICAL, THEY ARE OPERATIONAL.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE AT ALL A PARTISAN OPERATION.

MOST SECRETARIES DO NOT OPERATE IN A PARTISAN WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

>> IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS RACE AND ALL THE OTHER RACES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

WE SHOULD STRESS SECRETARY OF STATE OFFICE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COUNTING OF BALLOTS.

I THINK DAVID YOU MIGHT HAVE MENTIONED LAST WEEK.

WE CAN'T STRESS THAT ENOUGH.

>> JENA IS CLEARLY THE FUTURE.

SHE IS FUN RAISING MONSTER, POWER HULK.

SHE IS THE CHAIR OF SOMETHING CALLED THE DEMOCRATIC SECRETARY OF STATE ASSOCIATION.

SHE TOOK OVER IN 2021.

SINCE THEN, SHE HAS MULTIPLED BY TEN THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY HAVE.

THEY GOT $25 MILLION THEY ARE INVESTING IN RACES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY INCLUDING HER OWN.

THE MONEY COMES FROM THEM.

GOES GETS -- TAKES FREE STEPS BEFORE IT ENDS UP IN A CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL FOR HER.

BUT, I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ACCOMPLISHEDMENT PUTS UP WITH HER.

IT IS WELL-KNOWN IN COLORADO GOVERNMENT CIRCLES THAT FOR RUNNING THE SECRETARY OF STATE OFFICE SHE IS INCOMPETENT.

SHE REPEATEDLY LIKES -- SHE SENT OUT VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS AND SAID IT WAS A GLITCH.

HAS DONE THAT TWICE.

WE HAVE A LONG TRADITION OF SECRETARY OF STATE EVEN WHEN THEY WERE INTERESTING PEOPLE BEHAVING IN OFFICE IN A BOARDING WAY.

SHE TOOK THE COVID RELIEF MONEY TO PUT OUT CAMPAIGN COMMERCIALS HOW WONDERFUL SHE IS.

BUT I DON'T THINK THAT DELEGITIMATIZES THE VOTING IN THE STATE.

THEY MADE ONE MISTAKE, IT DOESN'T MEAN ELECTIONS ARE BAD.

>> OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO THROUGH AND BRING UP THINGS WE ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON.

AMBER I'D LIKE TO START WITH YOU AND FORT COLLINS.

IS IT SOMETHING THAT COULD ACROSS THE STATE?

OTHER STATES ARE LOOKING AT IT.

IT IS TIED TO UNAFFILIATED VOTERS?

>> YES.

2C IN FORT COLLINS IS ON THE BALLOT.

IT HAS PASSED IN BROOMFIELD AND BOULDER THAT HAS ADVANCED ACROSS THE STATE.

MADE IT LEGAL LAST YEAR.

THERE IS ALSO LEGISLATION THAT IS BEING WORKED ON TO LOOK AT RANK CHOICE VOTING FOR OUR PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES.

WHEN YOU HAVE A PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY OF 20 CANDIDATES THE REPUBLICANS HAD A GOOD NUMBER IN 2016.

WHEN YOU HAVE A STATE LIKE OURS WE ARE LATER IN THE PROCESS WE END UP WITH CANDIDATES THAT DROP OUT BY THE TIME THE ELECTION HAPPENS.

THERE IS LOCKED VOTES.

IN 2020 MORE THAN THREE MILLION VOTES WERE LOSS IN THE PROCESS BECAUSE PEOPLE VOTED FOR CANDIDATES THAT WERE OFF THE BALLOT BY THE TIME THE ELECTION HAPPENED.

THERE IS CERTAINLY ADVANTAGES WHEN YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CANDIDATES.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT EXPAND BECAUSE I THINK IT SOLVES -- PROVIDES A LOT OF SOLUTIONS.

>> HOW MANY RANKS WOULD YOU DO?

>> SO IT DEPENDS.

THAT IS A POLICY CHOICE AS WELL.

IT DEPENDS THE TOP OF RACE.

IN THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY BECAUSE DELEGATES ARE ALLOCATED.

THE STATES THAT USED IN 2020 THEY DIDN'T LIMIT YOU TO RANKING BECAUSE YOU TAKE THE PERCENTAGE AND ALLOCATE THOSE.

THEY ALLOWED PEOPLE TO DO THAT.

IT WAS GREAT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LOSE THEIR VOTES.

THERE IS A LOT OF POSITIVE ASPECTS OF IT.

I WANT TO SEE IT EXPAND.

I THINK FORT COLLINS COULD PASS.

THERE IS ANOTHER ELECTION ISSUE 2L.

THERE WERE MISTAKES IN THAT PROCESS THAT HAPPENED THIS TIME.

MAINLY DUE TO THE TIME CRUNCH.

THAT 2L QUESTION HOPEFULLY WILL PASS.

>> PATTY, WHAT ARE YOU KEEPING AN EYE ON.

YOU STILL HAVE YOUR BALLOT SITTING HERE.

>> DENVER IS COMPLICATED.

IT HAS SOME REALLY TRICKY ISSUES.

BEYOND 2L.

YOU HAVE THE SIDEWALK ISSUE.

YOU HAVE THE EVICTION FUND ISSUE.

YOU HAVE WASTE ISSUES AND RECYCLING ISSUES.

IT IS GOING TO TAKE PEOPLE TIME TO STUDY THOSE ISSUES.

IF YOU HAVEN'T STARTED YET GET GOING BECAUSE THESE ARE THINGS THAT COULD BE VERY CLOSE IN DENVER.

THEY WILL CHANGE HOW MUCH YOU SPEND AND HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE IN DENVER.

STATEWIDE, I THINK 122, THE MUSHROOM ISSUE WHICH IS BRINGING NATIONAL ATTENTION.

THAT COULD BE FAIRLY CLOSE.

I THINK IT MIGHT GO DOWN NOW.

PEOPLE ARE GETTING A LITTLE MORE PRUDY ABOUT IT.

YOU HAVE 123 WITH THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

I THINK HOW PEOPLE HOW THEY WILL VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATES IS PRETTY CLEAR TO THEM NOW.

IT WON'T TAKE THAT LONG.

>> DAVID, IS THERE ONE RACE YOU ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON?

>> WELL, ON BACK TO THE BALLOTS COMING IN.

PATTY'S POINT ABOUT A LOT UNAFFILIATED.

O'DAE TWO POINTS DOWN FROM BENNETT.

IF O'DEA IS GAINING SUBSTANTIALLY WITH UNAFFILIATED AND THEY DO COME OUT AND VOTE.

THAT GIVES HIM THE UPSET CHANCE.

I'M DEFINITELY WATCHING THAT.

IN BOULDER I'M WATCHING MEASURE 6C.

IT WOULD TAKE THE BOULDER PUBLIC LIBRARY OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE CITY OF BOULDER AND CONSOLIDATE IT WITH LAFAYETTE.

ONE HUGE LIBRARY DISTRICT AND RAISE PROPERTY TAXES TO DO IT.

IT IS NOT LIKE THEY WILL PAY ANYTHING LESS THAN TAXES WHEN THE CITY STOPS FUNDING IT.

>> ERIC?

>> I THINK I WILL WRAP THIS UP WITH WHERE AMBER STARTED.

I'M INTRIGUED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF COMING AS A STATEWIDE LEVEL.

COLORADO IS LONG LED THE WAY IN VARIOUS KINDS OF POLITICAL REFORM.

WHETHER IT IS RANKED CHOICE VOTING OR A TOP TWO SYSTEM SUCH AS CALIFORNIA AND WASHINGTON STATE EMPLOYEE WHERE YOU HAVE TWO CANDIDATES AND A DEMOCRATIC DISTRICT THE NOVEMBER ELECTION MIGHT NOT BE A DEMOCRAT VERSUS A REPUBLICAN.

BUT A MODERATE VERSUS A MORE EXTREME DEMOCRAT.

DRIVE POLITICS AT THE MARGINS AWAY FROM THE EXTREMES.

AND ANY MODELS LIKE THAT ARE WORTH CONSIDERING AND SUPPORTING.

YOU KNOW, I'LL SEE WHAT UNFOLD OVER THE COMING YEARS.

>> NOW IT IS TIME FOR LIGHTNING ROUNDS HIGHS AND LOWS THIS WEEK.

PATTY LOW POINT FOR YOU.

>> IT DOESN'T GET ANY LOWER HOUSE DISTRICT 15. WHO BELIEVES EVERYONE IS DEMONIC WHO MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY -- HE THINKS JANUARY 6TH EVERY WHO IS PRO-CHOICE IS DEMONIC.

THIS IS A MAN WHO WILL WIN.

WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THIS COLORADO LEGISLATURE AS THE DISGRACE FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.

>> HE USES THAT WORD A LOT.

>> DEMONIC.

>> DAVID?

>> JOE BIDEN ABOUT DEMOCRACY ON THE BALLOT.

STACEY ABRAMS PROVED TO DONALD TRUMP YOU CAN DENY ELECTION.

HE IS ENDORSING HER AGAINST THE GOVERNOR WHO STOOD UP TO TRUMP'S ATTEMPT TO STEAL THE ELECTION.

STACEY ABRAMS IS PREDENYING THE UPCOMING ELECTION.

SHE HAS BEEN TOPPED BY CLINTON.

SHE IS ALREADY DENYING THE 2024 ELECTION.

>> OKAY.

ERIC?

>> THERE IS SO MUCH ELECTION STUFF.

TO OUR PREDICTABLE PUBLIC DENVER SCHOOLS.

SOMETIMES PRIOR TACTICS MIGHT BE OVER THE TOP.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT STILL APPLIES.

DPS SENT HIM A LETTER RECENTLY DEMANDING HE CEASE AND ASSIST FROM HIS FREE SPEECH IF YOU WILL.

AVOID ALL SCHOOL BUILDINGS WHATEVER.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO SEND THE DPS SCHOOL BOARD AND SENIOR ADMINISTRATION A COPY OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

>> AMBER?

>> THE CONTINUED ATTACKS ON THE ELECTED OFFICIALS.

WHETHER IT IS VOICE MESSAGES, SOCIAL MEDIA POST OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO VOTE BUT TO THANK ELECTED OFFICIALS WHAT THEY ARE WORKING ON ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AND I THINK ALSO, THE THINGS THAT ARE FEEDING THAT ARE ALSO A LOW POINT AND CONTINUE TO BE A LOW POINT EVERY SINGLE WEEK WHETHER IT IS RADIO HOST THAT CONTINUE TO SPREAD LIES AND ENCOURAGE THOSE ATTACKS.

IT IS CONTINUING AND HAPPENING.

IT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS JUST A LOW POINT FOR OUR ENTIRE WAY OF LIFE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.

>> I AGREE WITH YOU.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING POSITIVE, SHALL WE?

>> DON'T BE DEMONIC.

FILL OUT YOUR BALLOT.

GO OUT THIS WEEKEND.

DEPOSIT IT IN THE DROP BOX.

SO MANY HUNDREDS OF GREAT EVENTS GOING ON THIS WEEKEND.

DO YOUR CIVIC DUTY IN A NONDEMONIC WAY AND ENJOY YOURSELF.

>> DAVID?

>> THE COUNTY CLERKS ALL OVER THE STATE WHETHER THEY ARE DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS OR WHATEVER HAVE A CONTINUED THE VAST MAJORITY TO BE EXCELLENT.

THEY ARE GENERALLY BORING AND HIGHLY COMPETENT.

THEY ARE MAKING SURE THE ELECTION WORKS PROPLY AND DO A GREAT JOB.

>> WE LIKE BORING IN THIS CASE.

ERIC?

>> COULDN'T BE MORE DAVID AND AMBER'S POINT.

THEY DESERVE ALL THE CREDIT.

WE GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO THE WINNERS OF THESE ELECTIONS.

I WANT TO GIVE SOME CREDIT WHO LOSE.

IT IS PART FOR EVERY WINNER THERE IS ONE OR MORE LOSER.

WHO BEHAVE IN THE APPROPRIATE MANAGER.

SPEECHES IN THIS DAY IN AGE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN VICTORY SPEECHES.

>> MAKE SURE YOU TURN YOUR BALLOT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

WE WANT TO OVERTAKE MINNESOTA IN TERMS OF HIGHEST TURNOUTS.

GIVE ME OPTIMISM EVERY SINGLE DAY.

ENCOURAGE THEM AND SHARE GOOD STORIES ABOUT THEM AND THEIR AMAZING WORK.

THEY ARE AWESOME AND JOURNALIST THAT ARE COVERING ELECTIONS.

WE DON'T THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR THE WORK THEY DO AS PART OF THIS DEMOCRACY.

I THINK JOURNALIST AT THE LOCAL LEVEL ARE KEY TO EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE PROCESS.

>> WE ARE GIVING OUT LOVE TO EVERYONE WHO IS WORKING HARD THIS ELECTION SEASON.

THANK YOU ALL.

THANKS EVERYBODY AT HOME FOR WATCHING.

NOW IT IS YOUR TURN TO BE HEARD.

IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY YOU HAVE TO GO VOTE.

WE WILL NAVIGATE WHAT IS IN STORE FOR COLORADO.
