1. Al Gore implores Boulder residents to 'get out the vote' on election's eve

Speaking at the eTown Hall in Boulder atop a small stage, framed by the now-customary Hillary banner, former vice president and 2000 Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore delivered a short speech imploring Boulder residents to "get out the vote" Monday on the eve of the election.

"This election in particular is a climate election," Gore said. "You don't have to go very far from downtown Boulder to answer the question of, 'must we change?'"

Gore appealed to the hundreds of residents in attendance to vote for and to encourage others to vote for Clinton on Tuesday, citing the climate crisis as one of the most important issues facing the world today — and one that impacts Coloradans on a personal level.

For many residents outside the event — hundreds of which were denied entrance to the 100 percent sustainable eTown Hall building, which fits a maximum of 300 — Monday's event brought a reminder of what was at stake in this year's election.
