Hello Cara,
my name is Daniel, I am in Colorado Springs right now, part of an electoral observer group from Mexico. We trying to learn more about the electoral process here in the States, its pros and cons, we have a website which will be feeding the media from Mexico. I know this is kind of last minute, but it would be great if we could meet maybe tomorrow. I'd highly apreciate even half an hour of your time. I'll leave you my cellphone number here because I only have it for the time I'm here: 2024453511. Thank you in advance.

As a former Colorado resident with continuing ties to the state, El Paso County Clerk Balink's voter suppression tactics fill me with disgust. He is the worst kind of American traitor--Under the guise of enforcing the law of the land, he is really doing everything in his power to subvert both the intent of the laws and the will of the people. My hope is that if he has children, they someday see what a moral failure their father was, that entrusted with carrying out the most sacred of democratic traditions, he acted merely a party hack.
