No blue book? Here’s how to get one
Because of a printer’s error, not everyone was able to get their copy of the Colorado election ‘blue book.’ You know what they are – the “cheat sheets” that cover all ballot measures and judges on the ballot.
If you’re in the group that hasn’t gotten their booklet yet, you can get it online.
The cause of the mix-up, according to a release from the Secretary of State’s office, is “a printer’s processing settings defaulted to physical addresses instead of mailing addresses so in 36 counties where residents get their mail via Post Office boxes the books were not delivered.”
