Yes, possible changes to the open primary election and the president ial primary election if the things make it to the ballot. If the open primary Election Initiative makes its way to the ballot and it becomes a law, people who arent registered allowed to cast the votes in a primary election. And you remember in the primary a few months ago, you could only vote if you are registered with the party, the initiative would change that. Lets talk about the president ial primary election. The proposal would allow republicans, democrats and unaffiliated voters to vote in a primary. Putting on the election would cost the state and county about 5 million. The june primary for federal state and local elections, that would state completely the same. Colorado voters, we know you have a lot to say issues. The second of States Office has until september 7th, to verify signatures and determine if the initiatives will make it on the ballot in november. Ta rhonda . Thank you, colleen. For explaining.

The chief announced new plans to collect data to determine whether officers actions reflect racial bias. We didnt have firm details how it would work, but the most critical part is efficiency and transparency. If it shows positive, i think that is a lot of if it doesnt show favorable, then we have a responsibility to correct it and im 100 committed in correcting it. Hopefully the information will show that we are not doing any kind of profiling. But i think at the very least it will speak to our commitment to being transparent. For this new system, we are not sure if they will assume what a race is or asking. Departments for guidance how to run the whole thing. It is now 5 36. And swimming, gymnastics, and volleyball, rug by, and it is an actionpacked day in rio. This morning, everyone is talking about Missy Franklins struggles in the pool. Cheryl preheim is in rio with more. Cheryl, she had a tough night. Reporter she did. You know, she didnt look like herself and we noticed that before, during, and after the race. Before the race, she looked i worked as hard as i could. Im proud of that. But letting my team down is very hard. I gave it all that i had and thats all i could ask for. You know, it says something about missy, in that moment, she is not thinking about herself, she is thinking about her team. And her team has always meant a team usa. And as she was standing there in tears, she was graciously applauding her teammate Katie Le Decky who is having the olympics of her life. I think that just says so much about missy, you guys. And one thing i have just been considering, is that really her secret sauce has been the joy of swimming. The love of the sport. Being free. Dancing behind the blocks. And this time around, she has been pretty candid about saying how the pressure, the expectation, and fighting back but she was really hopeful still, saying shes got more opportunities, there is a relay, and then her signature event is friday night. In the 200 backstroke. Absolutely. Two more opportunities. Thats a good thing. And a good thing that each though she was tearyeyed she was smiling through the whole thing. Still smiling. Still had the missy smile. No question. She is always looking for the positive. Not just for her, but for her teammates and i think colorado has a lot to be proud of. No matter what th race result might be. Yes. For sure. All right, cheryl, thanks for bringing us up to date. Appreciate it. And another olympic swimmer michael phelps, the king of the pool, basically dont mess with him. Yes. This morning, the internet agrees. Here is why. He got caught giving a South African swimmer a very angry look yesterday. Look at that. The swimmer was doing a little shimmy dance in front of the 1 time olympic Gold Medalist and thats the face. And people screen grabbed this really quickly on twitter and tweeted about how he was summoning the force. And plotting his revenge soon. I like that. Yes. Well, i dont know about that. But you got to put your game face on. It is kind of funny, isnt it . Later phelps seemed to listen to music and the happy zone, and maybe pondering all of the gold medals. Last laugh. Last scowl. Exactly. Lets send it over to marty. He is a guy the last laugh, isnt he . Around here yesterday, pretty good storms in the foothills, this is up in Aspen Meadows yesterday, near aspen park and alisa gillmore with the shot, with hail covering the ground.
