Mail ballot rejections in the 2020 election remain below average, but are expected to rise and disproportionately affect younger voters, an analysis showsJesus Balderrama voted for the first time in a presidential election this year. But a few days after sending in his ballot, which the Grand Junction resident marked for Democrat Joe Biden, he received a letter from election officials about a discrepancy with his signature.
The letter directed Balderrama to send a text to a number, which in turn sent him a website link. He visited the website and verified his identity by signing an affidavit and submitting a photo of his ID.
“It was quick, took like five minutes,” he said. “Pretty cool.”
This year, Colorado election officials are making an extra effort to address the fact that roughly 90% of all mail ballots that get rejected could have been fixed and counted. The text-to-cure program that Balderrama described is just one step.
Ballot-return data shows more than 10,000 mail ballots had been rejected through midday Wednesday, an analysis by The Colorado Sun found. That represents 0.5% of total ballots cast to date, below the average rate of 0.86% for the past two elections.
But the proportion of rejected ballots is expected to rise through Election Day. In 2016, more than 24,000 ballots didn’t count. And the trend lines show young voters like Balderrama are once again being disproportionately affected.

In November, Colorado voters will decide whether to affirm or repeal the legislature’s 2019 decision to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact
Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, but he lost the national popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes.
The split verdict — the fifth time in U.S. history — brought new attention in Colorado and elsewhere to efforts aimed at modifying or replacing the Electoral College, America’s system to elect presidents.
In November, Colorado voters will decide whether to affirm or repeal the legislature’s 2019 decision to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact with Proposition 113. Right now, the state awards its nine electoral votes to the candidate who wins the most votes in Colorado. If the law survives, enough states join the national compact and it overcomes any court challenges, Colorado could potentially hand over its nine electoral votes to the candidate who wins the most votes nationwide — the national popular vote. The intent of the law is to circumvent the Electoral College system of choosing presidents by state in order to ensure the candidate who wins the most support nationally also wins the election.

BOULDER–In an editorial published September 12, the Boulder Daily Camera editorial board reversed its previous support for Colorado joining the National Popular Vote Compact (NPVC), and is now urging a “no” vote on Proposition 113 on the November ballot.
Prop 113 is a citizen initiated referendum on the NPVC statute, which was passed by the Democrat-controlled legislature last year. A no vote repeals the statute, keeping Colorado out of the compact.
In a 2019 editorial the Daily Camera said the compact has “drawbacks” that “subjugated state will to national interest, and the results, taken out of context, appear extreme.”
The editorial board excused that flaw, saying, “Satisfactory national results should take precedence over state-level electorate-elector imbalances. A state under the compact’s regime might find its electoral position out of whack with that of its voters as a bloc, but as individuals its voters will have been heard…”

Join the NSRF this Saturday morning from 9:00am-11:00am at Amazing Grace Community Church (541 E 99th Place in Thornton) to hear highly sought after author and speaker Loren Spivack.Admission is $3 per person, bring a jacket since we’re meeting outside the church (due to the Governor’s executive orders about groups meeting in churches), bring a chair, and a friend or two to hear our engaging speaker.
Loren will be giving his presentation called ‘Why We Fight, And How We Win In November’, to groups throughout Colorado during the months of September and October. His presentation chronicles just how unprincipled the Left has become and fires up the base just in time for November.
Please check out Loren’s website www.fmwarrior.com to see samples of his speaking, learn more about his books, and see some of the other great groups that he’ll be speaking with on his upcoming trip out west.
Loren brings his books (listed below) along in case anyone is interested in purchasing one after his presentation.
Loren Spivack, “The Free Market Warrior,” was born and raised in Massachusetts and spent most of his adult life in New York City. Before becoming active in politics, Spivack worked for several non-profits and as a management consultant for both profit and non-profit companies.Spivack founded “Free Market Warrior” in 2009 in an effort to make a positive difference in American politics and economics.
His “Free Market Warrior” store was expelled from Concord Mills Mall in North Carolina in July of 2009 for selling material critical of the Obama Administration. (Mall owners, Simon Property Group, are major Democratic donors.) Since then Loren has devoted his time to teaching conservative groups about free market economics. He conducts “Economic Literacy” seminars across the United States. So far, Spivack has delivered his famous seminar on “Economic Literacy” to over 200 groups in 20 states.Spivack is also the author of “The New Democrat,” a parody history of the Obama administration, based on a famous children’s book. With pitch-perfect rhyme and clever illustrations, “The New Democrat” transforms the political personalities of our times into cartoon characters in a conservative morality play.

Hart Van Denburg/CPR NewsDenver Elections Division’s drive through ballot-drop-off station on Bannock Street on Primary Election Day June 30, 2020. Colorado voters this November will make decisions on nearly a dozen proposed changes to the state’s laws and constitution. It’s one of the longest statewide ballots in recent history, with three measures referred by state lawmakers, seven proposals from citizen groups and one effort to repeal a recently-passed state law.
The decisions voters make on these questions will affect Colorado’s tax rates, government budgets, ecology and more. Many of these measures are supported and opposed by a range of organizations. CPR News is including those listed on the Secretary of State’s website or who are actively campaigning.
New Laws
Proposition 113 – Adopt Agreement To Elect U.S. Presidents By National Popular Vote
Colorado voters can choose to affirm or reject the legislature’s 2019 decision to join the National Popular Vote Compact. The Democratic-backed law could eventually bind Colorado and other states to commit their presidential election votes to the candidate who wins the most votes nationally, rather than the candidate who wins the state.
- Supporters: Coloradans For Yes On National Popular Vote
- Opponents: Protect Colorado’s Vote
Proposition 114 – Restoration of Gray Wolves
The Question: Should Colorado reintroduce gray wolves on certain lands west of the Continental Divide? If approved, it could help an endangered species recover its place in Colorado’s ecology, but the measure faces criticism from ranchers who fear they’ll lose livestock to the predators. Read more from CPR. Read the initiative text.
- Supporters: Rocky Mountain Wolf Project
- Opponents: Colorado Stop The Wolf Coalition
