Important Dates and Websites for the November 3 Election by Curtis Chong

Greetings to my fellow Coloradans:

Many people have characterized the November 3 general election as the most significant election in the history of this country. Whether we believe this to be true or not, there are a few important dates and websites that we, the blind, should keep in mind as the time of the election approaches.

We strongly urge all of our friends and colleagues to make sure you are registered. Vote accessibly if you are able. But, whatever you do, with assistance, accessible machine in person, by mail, PLEASE, PLEASE VOTE. This link will bring you to the important information that Curtis Chong has put together for us.

 

That’s It for This Edition of the Blind Coloradan

Forward, always Forward!
