Denver's August Election

In an effort to torment us, the Denver City Council seems poised to put the Xcel Energy franchise agreement on the ballot for the August primary.

This means that I have to figure out the new vote center system in August when I go to vote. There are no other ballot issues in August, and I otherwise wouldn't have any contested issues to consider, as my home isn't in any jurisdiction with a contested primary.

Early indicatations, by the way, are that the November ballot will be the longest in Colorado history, due to a large number of statewide ballot issues this year.
