My gosh, the ramifications of how much worse it is going to be when Marks and supporters win, again, and those ballots have to be revealed.
What, exactly, is the City of Aspen and Mayor Mick Ireland hiding?
Never before, until now in reading what has happened to Harvie Branscomb in this post off The Times, did SandBox believe there was anything amiss.
There has to be. This is just way, way over the top.

"Truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident."

This is taken straight from the city election code of 2009.
The law below was written to create public benefit of being able to see the ballots as they were being counted.
The law plainly anticipated that the public would see the ballots and the tabulation of them.
It is completely illogical to pass a law that the ballots can be looked at on election night FOR public benefit, but seeing them on the day after election day is doing “significant injury” to the public interest.
"7 Tabulation Center"
"The City Clerk shall designate one location within the City of Aspen to serve as the ranked‐choice voting tabulation center prior to each election.
The center shall be reasonably accessible to the public for the purpose of observing the vote tabulation.
At a minimum, the City Clerk shall arrange the counting of ballots so that the candidates and their representatives may observe the ballots as they are counted.
The City Clerk shall ensure that public observation does not interfere with the counting of the ballots."
