Be aware: Ballot Signature Confusion. I will update once I've heard back from County Registrar [View all]

I was ready to mail back my ballot in the next day or two and then I got to the signature portion of the return envelope. My legal signature is my first name, middle initial, last name, yet my ballot showed my middle name spelled out, which I have NEVER used. I started to sign it that way, then realized I would have signed with only my middle initial when I went in last year to make my registration confidential, so I signed under the full signature that way as well.

So, now, I have to worry about being disenfranchised. Since I have not yet mailed, I have emailed the County Registrar directly (so that I have a "written" confirmation) and will share what info I get on this thread. Likewise, if I get any whiff that this is a larger issue that could affect others, I will contact all three Denver networks (and I suppose the fox affiliate) as well as Denver Post. Further, I will contact the voter protection group of Colorado-ACLU.

I hope I am worried for no reason, but BE AWARE of this issue.
