Doug Linkhart tops Denver mayor ballot: Ten names appear, at least one contesting rejection

• Marcus, thanks for adding this information.

• It wasn’t that I was given sufficient time, I knew the rules! I think that the count may have been off due to the amount of petitions that were handed in I was the 10 person in on the 9th. Even if I had the needed 300 petitions, my attorney would still have been contested the count, this is good quality assurance. If I’m wrong about the count that’s ok, I will be supporting and guiding Danny Lopez. The other thing that bothers me is that the Council Members that are in the race for Mayor, why did it take them to run for Mayor to say “Now they are going to help Denver move forward”? It’s okay the voters are watching and they will soon know the truth. What’s another 4 years of the shell game; I still know where the pea is. Wake up Denver; this is not a popularity contest the only losers will be us citizens and our children. Don’t get fooled by the RTD request for a tax hike… ”WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO USE THE FAS TRACK SYSTEM”! My home town…Phoenix 2years ago started their Fas Track System, and they are worried? Phoenix has 4.5 million Metro populations with a general population of 2.5 million; Denver has 2.5 million Metro populations with a general population of fewer than 600,000 thousand; you do the math. I spoke to a RTD spokesman, Scott Reid and he said I was 100% correct and yet he told me that they are going to continue the build-out. Don’t say I didn’t warn you Denver, just because I was not born here doesn’t mean my living in much bigger cities I can’t see the writing on the walls! God Bless the Beautiful City and County of Denver and may they have the courage to open their eyes and vote their Consciences. G

• Zenhound, I may have gotten a bit muddled, but it's my understanding that Giavanni turned in the signatures on the 9th, and he received a call back at 5:45 p.m. on the 10th.

• Peckman made the ballot? Where'd he find 300 UFO looney tunes to sign for that? Or were most of them signing as a joke, like how Donald Duck routinely gets a few votes for president? Interesting that Giavanni doesn't mention when he turned in his petition, or at least this article doesn't. If he turned them in that day at noon and they called back at 5:45, seems pretty reasonable. If he turned them in a week ago, he has a good point and should pursue it.
