First thing there has been a flurry of activity emulating out of the Secretary of State's office regarding registrations which have been brisk this year. In early September an online article in the Colorado Independent it was revealed that an estimated Obama haul of 2-to-1 voter advantage on 118,000 newly registered voters. Voter registration numbers have not been released but in El Paso County, (Colorado Springs or the Red Zone) where over 32,000 newly registered voters have been compiled to October 3rd.

Where over 17,000 new registrations were recorded in September. Friday Secretary of State Coffman announced all new registrations with clerical errors or misinterpretations in providing residency information they would be purged and then stated they would remain registered but ineligible to vote until they corrected or completed the form. This involves 35,000 new registrants state wide. Today cooler heads prevailed as the lawyers got involved and a remedy was made that those 35,000 registrants would be contacted by their respective County Clerk's offices and they have until Friday October 31st at 5 PM to complete or correct the information.

Watch this:

In El Paso County we voted today, 17 of us were at the County Clerk's office at 8:00 AM to hand deliver our Mail In Ballots while being decked out in our Obama garb. Well they asked us to cover our buttons and shirts because it was an election place. WRONGO again! The lawyers were called and informed the Republican intimidating County Clerk that not until October 28th is it a polling place, it is merely a receiving place. They are watching every step of Mr. Balink who continues to misinform the electorate on registration issues.

In Arapahoe County Colorado, the suburban area of Denver County is now Democratic! One of the top Obama field directors told me they passed the Republicans in this swing county which now has Denver County, Adams County (to the north) and Boulder County (U of CO) as having more Democrats while Douglas, El Paso and Jefferson Counties remain Republican. This ground game is grinding out the Red Zones in Colorado!
