mistaking their commissioner. should we boo barack? a fair question. and that kind of universal language could be useful in a school with 40 different languages. si. and it's "next." doublecheck your ballot before you mail it and don't let it out with a mistake like douglas county did! just a missing "m" in "commissioner." if you vote in those -- they swear half a dozen people spellcheck that thing. >> very fortunately it wasn't a name. if we had misspelled a name, it would have been beyond not good. when i proof a ballot, i focus on the names. the rest of it reads and i

misspelled. >> reporter: misspelled candidate name may have required all new ballots to be sent out. no such issue here. we do make spelling mistakes on "next" as well. we hope we handle them with as much humility and humor as douglas county. next questions! ballot addition. let's take a couple. kayla writes, i dropped off my ballot today. didn't date the envelope. stupid me. will i still count? keep reporting. your show's the best. thanks! and, yes, it should be fine as long as you signed it and the signature counts. some asked, some will be writing mike pence on the ballot for president. does that mean there will be votes for pence and donald trump and hillary clinton? no. votes for him won't count.

their ballots. is it legal to take a picture of your ballot and share it? >> reporter: those "i voted" stickers aren't cutting it anymore. for many, the only way to display our civil enthusiasm is posting a ballot selfie. but guess what? [ buzzer ] >> reporter: you can't, folks. it's against the law in colorado to post a picture with your ballot. why? accomplishback to 1891. long before even were shaking poloraid pictures. bartenders would bribe customers, a beer for a vote. now we have protection. >> you can't prove to someone you voted a particular way so we protect the integrity of the election system. >> reporter: so whatever yes or no you check, which ever bubbles you choose, that's for you to know. in the eyes of more than 25

and it's a secret ballot. >> reporter: in a world where we share virtually everything online, under this law which can we share in here or here or even here? so let's break it down. >> reporter: how about posting a selfie of your ballot sealed inside your envelope? yes, that's okay. and filling it out -- snapping it unfilled, yeah, that's good to go. but a selfie with a completed ballot showing who you voted for -- [ buzzer ] >> -- no go. here in co, it's a misdemeanor violation. has anyone been fined over it? nah. gone to jail? nope. it's a friendly warning barreling into election day. so go ahead, tell the world "i vet requested. just leave the -- -- i "voted." just leave the secret stuff out. none too happy about the

mitch moresy was talked to talk about the ban. they're afraid that may scare people who are just looking for help at the polls. the polling average for those in the colorado in the presidential race has hillary clinton up 8 points on donald trump here. it's not out of the question she will be the first presidential candidate to win in colorado by double digits since reagan in '84. we asked our political experts what kind of ripple affect could clinton republicans? >> traditional beliefs would say a plus ten would be a very difficult thing to overcome. however, if there's any year that's a ticket splitting year action it's this one. in ohio right now, rob portman is up double digits even though hillary clinton is also up double digits. so i think, if there's any year that traditional beliefs about what are and are not rules regarding the ballot, it's 2016.

>> reporter: republicans are counting on a split ticket to happen. but unfortunately, many haven't taken a stand on trump. so voters are either confused where they are or some have stuck with trump despite the evidence he should have jumped ship a long time ago. i thinkit'll take coffman and could tip the senate as well giving them the house, senate, and governorship all at on. 30 seconds, they just talk faster. the 9 news debate, mike coffman versus morgan carol is just minutes away. that's on 7:00 to 7:30 on 9news.com. we look at the debate and trump's impact on the republican colorado party. may i make a recommendation? [speaking spanish] >> tonight this is from univision.

by line looking at the lies and half truths. lies in red. misleading statements in yellow/orange there. you can click online to see the statement and fact check for habla en espanol. you should check it out. it's a great way to fact check it all at one time. when we fact check each candidate an equal amount of times, we can create equality, truthful or equally misleading. that's on our facebook page. she needed a break in life. colorado disability -- jeremy explains this story. >> reporter: if there's anybody who could use good news -- >> i have cerbral palsy.

>> reporter: eventually she could end up in a wheelchair. >> everything is how i would have made a house. >> reporter: when she saw the st. jude dream home ralph on tv, she took a -- raffle on tv, she took a risk. >> i never would imagine! >> reporter: she bought 50 tickets, $100 each. >> it maxed out my credit card! [ laughter ] >> reporter: and that worked. finally some good news in her life. she won! >> i was going for easy. like, three days! >> reporter: as she packed up to move into the 550,000 house in aurora, that dream became just a dream. >> and now i just been really depressed. i was on cloud nine for so long. >> reporter: she can't have the house. nope. a letter from st. jude says she has to pay them to get the prize. as with all things, uncle sam

st. jude says in a letter it needs the money from crystal so it can pay the irs. [ laughter ] >> just really depressing. >> if you receive a prize under code section 74, prizes and awards are income. they're gross income. and you're taxed on the value of the prize and the award. >> if i can't come up with the money, i'll just move on and i don't get it at all. >> reporter: and you may be asking at this moment, well action what about a loan? >> i just went on disability last year. >> reporter: a winner? not really in the end. a very unfortunate fortune. >> having a nice, big place like this, oh, it would have just made it so much easier for me to get around. >> reporter: man! what a bummer! in a statement, st. jude says it does notify its winners about their responsibility to pay taxes. and that's true.

their website. now, if crystal cannot come up with the money, she has to forfeit the home and she gets nothing, kyle. >> nothing! no cash substitute? no secondary prize? >> that's right, kyle. st. jude does not offer a cash option. but we found other charities that do home raffles. they offer winners the option of taking home cash if they cannot afford the taxes. >> reporter: just remarkably sad. and to think, before you enter a contest, you have to imagine, thing? >> yes. not really a win in the end. >> reporter: yeah. thank you very much. next, we visit a school in colorado where students learn about the world not from books but from their friends. >> mexico. italy. africa. south sudan. somalia. >> reporter: he used to be our friend until breck osweiler went to the bucks.

should broncos fans boo him

i won't cover stories where pets are dressed up in costumes. that's why we have steve stager! >> hi! it's official. the election is going to the dogs. and by that, we mean these two. their humans decided to dress "trevie" as trump. "lily" as hillary clinton. she went all out! christy told us a lot of treats

of this photo shoot. ? [ music ] ? oh, my gosh! they would put that story before me. how do i follow that? huh. how about 80 in october in denver for your weekend? okay. how about that. i'm kathy sabine. wow, was it cold this morning! 25 degrees at dia! coldest of the season. mid-60s for today. and if it stays clear -- which it should -- look at the meteor shower tonight. after midnight. not one of you better showers, but you should check it out. mother nature won't be helping out very soon with snow with high pressure in our forecast. little rain or snow. so got to put that in your planner. shorts in the future.

there right through sunday. chilly tonight. our low at 37. but temperatures close to 80 on saturday and sunday. the next chance for rain if -- well, if we can get it in here, will be tuesday afternoon. and when the boys hit the field monday night, kickoff temperature around 65 degrees. >> thanks, kathy. if only our issue of race and culture could be mitigated by second graders. these these kids are making friends all across the country. >> reporter: this is a typical assembly for a not so typical class of second graders. here at east ridge elementary school in aurora, the student body speaks around 40 different languages. >> my heritage is somalia. >> reporter: students like "hyfa." [ speaking somalian ]

[speaking spanish] >> it creates this very dynamic environment where kids can come from all over and they have a place because they're not alone. >> reporter: they are together. students from all over. >> mexico. italy. >> reporter: yeah? >> ummm -- africa. >> it's pretty cool because we might -- we could learn all of these other people that we met, never even knew. >> all right. >> reporte classroom discussion probably more real than a lot of other second grade classrooms. >> we discuss things like race and identity and culture and heritage and give them the opportunity to deal with it as a young age. >> i learned about the plants and animals and jobs and fun. >> reporter: and teacher -- >> it's given me a greater appreciation for what 7 and 8- year-olds can bring to the table.

students bring a lot to the table. [ laughter ] >> reporter: in aurora, steve stager for "next." brock osweiler is braving for boos at his return to mile high. and we have a take on that. >> and you can boo or cheer.

[cheers and applause] [ booing ] [ dramatic music ] ? [ music ] ? >> one of my favorite colorado sports memories is about booing. otherwise, an entirely different moment many history, i was booing when barry bonds run. i went just to boo bonds. and i bet broncos fans are waiting to boo brock osweiler for his return on monday. burr should we boo brock? >> i think so long as the fans don't throw any items out there towards brock or anybody else out on the field, i think it's fine if they give him the business. look, brock osweiler was a broncos for four years.

they waited for him to get his chance. they loved him last year. they were ready to embrace him as the apparent heir to peyton manning and he left all that for the houston texans. and he said among the reasons why he went to houston is he thought he had a better chance to succeed there than he did here with the broncos. he didn't quite put it that way but in so fans, i think, should be offended by that. and they do have the right to empty their lungs and give brock all the boos they can muster on monday night. >> okay. so he says, boo. rod macky is here to share his view. this came in during the break. one said, don't boo. take the high road. he made a business decision. i'm alike. i think you don't boo for a business decision. >> he will be booed.

not quite like the return to the avs. but there will be a lot of booing for brock. and i wouldn't because ask those fans, how many of you would have taken the money? they all could have been done the same -- would have been done the same thing. >> and i'm sure there's some that say i passed up a job because i loved my town or job or whatever. they can boo, right? >> yeah, but that's the minority. i know they'll boo them. broncos at the end. hey, they boo the broncos when there's not back-to-back touchdowns! >> you can vote now on 9news.com. >> i believe it. they'll boo. >> it's fun for sure. we'll be right back.

?[ music ] ? some of you don't like "next's" theme music. but we keep it for the children because "next" has another dancing baby! and this is michael king! [ laughter ] >> look at that! haom teresa ryan says, my grandson loves the show. and we love your feedback about the show. we have this question about ballot selfies. how about the people voting hashtags for the people they are voting for? isn't that the same thing? welshes that's different because it doesn't involve proof of who you're voting for. and one says, please say

donations for that dream home story? we'll let you know if we do. and we'll see you next time.
