Further proof the apocalypse is upon us

Question #1:  Who has received a ballot as of May 3, 2018?  Has ANYONE at ANY ADDRESS received a ballot through the mail?

Question #2:  Explain how is this a circumstance beyond your control.  The ballots should have arrived well before May 3.  If that batch was somehow "lost", another batch could have been ordered and mailed and still arrived prior to May 3.  That is how a back-up plan works, how a "planning for any and all contingencies" risk management approach works.  The "team approach with division of labor according to expertise" model so often touted by the current board did not work in this case.  Why not?

Question #3:  How are you going to fulfill your obligation to Estes Park or Larimer County property owners who are eligible to vote in this election but live outside of the county (either part-time or full- time, in any event, not during the April-May period in question), that is, how will you address their constitutional right to vote?  If they telephone or email you from Colorado Springs or Hayden or Grand Junction or Phoenix next Monday, are you going to drive ballots to them and return their completed ballots for them?

Question #4:  How many state and federal election laws are being broken by taking someone a ballot, and then once it is filled out (in the presence of the person who delivered the ballot, so no risk of intimidation or campaigning within the 100-foot zone there), allowing some random unknown person to transport the ballot back to the drop-off box for them?

Addendum:
Addendum:

The non-election of May 2018 is now an "official thing":

CRS 1-13.5-1105

(4)  (a) Not sooner than twenty-two days before an election, and no later than fifteen days before an election, the designated election official shall mail to each active registered elector, at the last mailing address appearing in the registration records and in accordance with United States postal service regulations, a mail ballot packet marked "Do not forward. Address correction requested.", or any other similar statement that is in accordance with United States postal service regulations.

Getting Hostiles

Image
According to the IMDb website, some portion of the movie Hostiles was filmed in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Does this look like Pagosa Springs? The movie is gorgeously shot, and the locations are breathtaking.  Being somewhat familiar with Pagosa Springs, though, I'm having trouble matching any of the exteriors with anything within a 10-mile radius of Pagosa Springs. According to IMDb The railway station at Chama, New Mexico served as the stand-in for Butte, Montana.  Chama is about 50 miles away from Pagosa Springs, and Pagosa Springs definitely sent some of its own down to Chama to serve as extras, one of whom is currently pedaling coal from the Chama location on Ebay. A big-budget movie filming in a community of 2000 is generally a newsworthy event.  Filming of Hostiles took place in the summer of 2016, and Pagosa Springs' newspaper of record, the Sun , made no mention of stars Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Wes Studi, or director Scott Cooper hanging out at P

The Estes Park Economic Development Corporation (EPEDC) is patting itself on the back because "the award for 'Small Community of  the Year' was presented" to them by the Economic Development Council of Colorado (EDCC) "on behalf of a town that sets its sights on building a more resilient, inclusive, and vibrant community and economy after recovering from the devastating Colorado floods in 2013." How has the following economic development been beneficial to Estes Park? The Estes Park Event Center, completed in spring 2014, has not brought all the big events expected from outside of our community.  It is not profitable. The Estes Park Medical Center (i.e., Park Hospital District) did not have the money to build the EPMC/Anschutz Wellness Training Center within the two years specific in the "Contract for Sale of Lot 4" to John Cullen, owner of the Stanley Hotel (i.e., Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC).  Since the money was not raised, according

Okay so I'll say it

Jeez we have a bunch of milquetoast pretend journalists in town. The guy who was arrested locally a few clicks back, Keaton M.A. Krell, is the same guy who sexually assaulted a bunch of underage females in Linn County, Kansas, and, brazenly, got away with it. The airtight connection is through his wife or ex-wife or whoever star pupil and non-profit wunderkind Candace Krell is. But even then, c'mon, how many folks named Keaton M.A. Krell are running around diddling little girls? Get some cojones, POR (paper of record) and POR (podcast of record). You did the work (sort of) now publish the findings. Stop hiding behind the town as an excuse to avoid going to press - the PIO and TA aren't going to give you anything because they are scared of their own shadows. For the low IQ crowd and too easily unconvinced: Note how Candace Krell used to give her home address on LinkedIn as Estes Park, Colorado Here's another big whoopsie And this And this And this
