It's election season, and those blue books are beefy this year! We’re going one by one through some of the thorniest ballot measures all month, and today creative producer Shane Franklin joins fellow producer Olivia Jewell Love to break down everything you need to know about Amendment 84, the proposal for new voter ID requirements. Then, contributor Molly Smith joins Olivia to talk about her experience riding the bus in the new BRT lanes on Colfax and mark the one-year anniversary of “Love is Blind.” What are the reality stars up to now, and do they still hang out in the Mile High?
