District 61 outcome waiting on Garfield County

Inspections of under-voted ballots in four of the five counties that make up Colorado House District 61 yielded another 210 votes for write-in candidate Kathleen Curry of Gunnison as of Tuesday.

However, Garfield County, which has the largest block of voters in the district, was still in the process of tallying votes as part of its court-ordered inspection of 800 under-voted ballots in the race, Garfield County Clerk Jean Alberico said.

“We will come back first thing in the morning and should be done about midday [today],” Alberico said.

“The biggest challenge has been manually looking through so many ballots,” she said. “It just takes a lot of time when you have 18,000 ballots to go through and find all the under-voted ballots.”     - More -
