Election Day!

It's going to be really tough to concentrate today with the election going on.  Stefano and I filled out our mail-in ballots last night, and I just have to drop them off at our polling place some time today.

We have probably the closest Senate race in the country, as well as a Democrat and a third-party candidate neck and neck for governor.  If the Republican candidate doesn't take at least 10%, the Republican party basically gets demoted to a minor party in the state of Colorado.

I'm not sure there's even a point in checking obsessively; I doubt that either one of those elections will actually be decided today, especially with the number of people like us who vote by mail.

Of course, there's also Denver Initiative 300 to watch, which reads:

Shall the voters for the City and County of Denver adopt an Initiated Ordinance to require the creation of an extraterrestrial affairs commission to help ensure the health, safety, and cultural awareness of Denver residents and visitors in relation to potential encounters or interactions with extraterrestrial intelligent beings or their vehicles, and fund such commission from grants, gifts and donations?


I wish I was kidding.

We also have a ton of constitutional and statutory amendments which would cripple the state's ability to assess fees or borrow money.  The Tea Party is strong with this one...
