Join us for the Arapahoe County Exhibition of the Colorado Union of Ballot Counters on the statewide circuit demonstrating transparent, precinct-level hand counting of paper ballots under Colorado law (C.R.S. § 1-7-307).

What to expect:

  • 4–5 simultaneous counting tables using the four-judge team method (audible reading, dual independent tally sheets, and full discrepancy resolution before any batch is sealed)
  • Friendly competition among volunteer teams of four.
  • Republican State House and State Senate candidates and others speaking and taking Q&A throughout the evening while counting continues
  • Public observation of every step of a real hand-count process
  • Results announced on-site

Hosted by the James Wiley for Colorado Secretary of State campaign and open to all Republican candidates and activists.

Schedule

  • 5:00 PM – Candidate Meet & Greet
  • 5:30 PM – A Special Veteran Guest will give remarks in remembrance of September 11th. Candidate Speeches begin.
  • 6:30 PM – Ballot Counters Training
  • 7:00 PM – Counting Starts
  • 8:40 PM – Results announced, closing remarks & announcement of future circuit dates

Potluck – Please bring a dish to share. Drinks provided.

No experience needed to join a counting team — just a firm commitment to show up and follow the process. Teams of five are encouraged to sign up together.

Come watch (or participate in) a live demonstration of the transparent hand-count method Colorado law requires. Help launch the statewide Colorado Union of Ballot Counters circuit right here in Arapahoe County.

Questions or to form a counting team? Contact the campaign.

This is not a real election but a hand count election simulation to exhibit how a hand count could take place under Colorado law, to educate current and future lawmakers and election workers, and promote candidates who support hand count elections. For educational purposes only, do try this at home.
