What you need to know if you’re voting in-person today Jackie Sedley
Just Vote! Colorado is a coalition of several different organizations working since 2004 to provide nonpartisan support to voters. They partnered with Common Cause – a non-partisan watchdog group that helps run election protection offices across the country – to spearhead an Election Protection Command Center out of Denver. They run a hotline and send poll monitors to polling centers, to make sure folks feel reassured about the security of the election process. Today, they’re open until the polls close at 7 p.m.
KGNU’s Dave Ashton went down to the Brownstein law offices in Denver to witness the command center in action.
To contact Just Vote! Colorado, you can call their hotline – 866-687-8683. They also have a hotline for Spanish speakers – that phone number is 888-839-8682.
