Denver election officials were breathing a little easier Saturday after they determined that 11,000 mail-in ballots they feared were missing were actually never sent by a vendor.
The U.S. Postal Service said Friday afternoon that its Denver mail processing facility received 10,364 ballots on Oct. 16 and delivered them within a couple days.
But the California printing company hired by Denver Elections said it delivered 21,450 ballots to the postal facility on that date.
