    I reached out to Justice Dems and learned some key info: 1. This was a poll of 307 likely Dem voters in CD1. There are 416,000 eligible voters in the primary 2. The margin of error was +/- 6 percentage points. That’s larger than the gap between Kiros/Degette in these results

    Mayor extends Denver’s contract with Flock license-plate readers without council approval
    In May, the council unanimously voted against a contract to extend the system over concerns that the technology is creating a surveillance network ripe for abuse.
