"We're from the state government and we're here to help," is the word from Mike Coffman's office, according to the Denver Post. From the article, "Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman on Monday announced an 'election watch list' for counties that experienced severe election mishaps and said four counties, including Denver, had been placed on the list. Coffman said Denver, as well as Montrose, Pueblo and Douglas counties, will receive extra support from his office to move them off the watch list and head off a potential court-ordered takeover of their election operations. Coffman said all four counties experienced 'significant problems in conducting' their elections but had made improvements. He said elections in those areas already were being overseen by new leadership since last fall's voting. He said the goal of the watch-list program - the first such program in Colorado - was to avoid what he termed the 'nuclear option' of a court-mandated takeover of a county's election apparatus."
