DENVER -- Just two days to Election Day, and county clerks across the state are working long days and weekends to be ready.Election workers processed piles of mail-in ballots, printed poll books and reset early voting machines, Sunday.Voters in Arapahoe County faced two-hour lines Friday at the end of early voting, but Clerk and Recorder Nancy Doty said she has leased an extra 25 machines for Tuesday and predicts there will not be long lines.
“On Election Day, if voters would consider mid-morning, mid-afternoon, that might be the best time to go,” said Doty.She said because about half of Arapahoe County voters have mailed in ballots or voted early, she is predicting 50,000 to 70,000 thousand people turn out Tuesday.She said that’s far less than the114,000 who voted on Election Day 2004, and she said they are ready.
