Denver, CO – U.S. Representative Diana DeGette (D-CO) released the following statement on yesterday’s long lines, delays, and other voting problems in the City of Denver.
“Thousand of voters in Denver showed tremendous resolve and patience yesterday in overcoming long lines, downed computers and other difficulties to cast their vote.
