Votelaw has all the current news on the lawsuit brought by the Colorado Democratic party over the counting of ballots in the congressional race between Democrat Mike Feeley and Republican Bob Beauprez. The election is for a seat in the newly created 7th Judicial district in Colorado.

Ed of Votelaw also reports "The Washington Post headline, In Denver Recount, Reaching for a Precedent, incorrectly describes this as a "recount," when it is actually a first count of the provisional ballots. Provisional ballots are those cast by people who are not on the voter list in the precinct. They may cast a provisional ballot, which will be counted only when it is shown that they are eligible."

Feeley says different standards are being used to determine the validity of the provisional ballots in the various counties that make up the new 7th District. The election results were due out today but they will be delayed due to the lawsuit. A court hearing is scheduled for 1:30 pm this afternoon.
