Well, I voted two weeks ago by absentee ballot, and thank God I did. The ballot in Colorado this year is four pages long and covers every possible race you can have in an election year plus something on the order of 18 amendments and refereda.

Voted for Obama/Biden, and pretty much the straight Democratic ticket this year (usually I split, but I majorly disagreed with every Republican candidate this year).

Colorado puts out a "blue book" each year which describes the amendments, their budgetary consequences, and selected arguments for and against. It also contains the reccomendations of Colorado's non-partisan judicial review panel, which this year unanimously reccomended retention of all but 3 judges, and still reccomended those 3 be retained. I figured I'd give them all the benefit of the doubt this year and screw 'em next time if they can't get a unanimous rec.

There's lots of douchebaggery going on with the amendments this year, so I voted yes on the referendum to up the requirements to amend the constitution and lower them to amend the revised statues. We're awesome in this state about passing constitutional amendments that completely **** up the budget.
