According to a notice from Urapaho County Elections, about 340 ballots sent to Columbine Valley voters who live inside the new district lines did not include 7A, and the county is mailing those voters corrected ballots.
Kim MonsonHOST
2:06
If the county receives only a voter's original ballot, it will count that ballot without 7A.
Kim MonsonHOST

And if the voter returns the corrected ballot, the county will count it and void the original.
