In its editorial of January 23, the Rocky states “An elected clerk and recorder can choose a professional election director with relevant experience.
Should serious problems arise, the public knows who is responsible.” But, that’s what we have now. The three officials who make up the Denver Election Commission (two elected, one appointed) are already being held responsible. The appointed clerk and recorder resigned and was replaced, and at least one of the two elected commissioners has chosen not to run again. Thus, Denver voters will have a chance to completely replace the current election commission without amending the city charter.
November’s election fiasco was a result of sloppy software and balky personnel, not the election commission structure itself. The same result could easily have happened under an elected clerk and recorder and his/her appointed election director.
Denver’s clerk and recorder has enough duties already. Duties that occupy his/her time to the fullest. S/he doesn’t need more added to his/her plate.
Denver’s current structure has worked fine for decades. Vote “No” on amendment 1A.
