cringe. you know, the plane noise complainer? he's usually the one making the phone call. this time, it was us. >> there are a lot of aircraft that fly over my home. >> michael peterson lives about 16 miles away from dia. he says his home is right within the airport's flight zone. his complaints made up about 75 president of complaints last year. >> when i hear that -- 75% am i crazy? but when they fly over every 2 minutes for an hour and a half. >> reporter: is it really that bad? >> some are really noisy. but it's the constant ones that are really bothersome. >> reporter: bad enough to file around 10 complaints a day? >> i don't know if it would bother you or not. you know, maybe i'm just sensitive to this. i live out there so i can enapology the quiet.

>> reporter: so he complains. complaints which don't seem to be working, leaving the simple question -- >> if it is impacting you so much, why not just move? another part of the country where it's quiet? >> well, we really like the location. we like the view, you know? >> uh-huh. >> some of the home we can see the entire front range. and, you know, that's worth something to us. >> in case yo he files complains online now. he hasn't made a call in about a year. is the election over yet? ? [ music ] ? >> nope! still 17 more days of political ads, blabbing or mouths about -- our mouths about the election. 17 more days to get your ballot ready. next viewers are taking their votes seriously. we appreciate that. they're asking a bunch of questions about their ballots and how the election works.

next question: >> janet asks, i received two voting ballots in the mail. what should i do? the answer, the secretary of state's office says the best thing is to contact the county clerk and let the elections division know right a with a. they'll square it away. tom asks, what stops people from voting twice when they get a ballot in the mail and just drop it off in an election box and then go to a poll on the same day? good question, tom. secretary of state's office has a good answer for this. connected to a statewide voter registration base. once a vote is recorded, it's impossible to vote again. there are two outcomes under that scenario. if the mail ballot is scanned first, the voter in person will be denied the student. if the voter votes in person before the clerk receives the mail ballot, the clerk will reject the mail ballot when they get it. oh, and the secretary of state

reminder it's a crime to try to vote more than once. your name would probably be turned in to an investigation. adele asks, what if you don't fill in the circles? most would flag it as an undervote which would require some sort of decision by a bipartisan team of judges. >> we hope and expect that you are doing all your research before filling out your ballot. there's one next viewer that's starting young. able to vote. this is baby london. she's weighing her options in her blue book and high chair. she's 7 months old. her mom, carry, has spent a lot of time reading up on ballots and thinks she's made her decisions. way to go, london! have you ever gotten to your ballot not knowing what to do? here's a piece that will help you out. >> reporter: in the last 18 years, the independent panels that reviewed the job performance of judges named ten

stay on the bench. want to guess how many voters fired? only three. on average, if your performance review says you shouldn't be a judge anymore, you win re- election with 54% of the vote. voters keep sending judges with failing reviews back to their six figure jobs paid with our tax dollars, jobs which decide custody of kids, the future of criminals and how our system works. >> yes, it does. i don't think that that's the way it should work. >> reporter: former supreme court justice rebecca coreles is an expert on reviewing judges. >> my suspicious is those voters didn't know that there was a do not retain recommendation or didn't care about it. >> reporter: this year's reviews come in the mail soon. but if history repeats itself, they won't make much difference.

valerie haynes. her laundry list of problems included rejecting plea agreements without any reason, leaving little reasons to expect improvements. she's still a judge. voters sent her back with 62% of the vote. she's one of three judges that got a do not retain last election. only one lost his job. so why is this happening? a lot of us in colorado skip voting for our judges. and the vast majority they don't know enough about judges to vote. >> we found not many people have looked at our information, some 75%. >> we really just need to increase that readership. >> reporter: one thing that doesn't help with readership, this stuff is hard to read! let's look at this actual writeup on michael schifferol. he's a do not retain this year. by the state rules, the writeup

problems like where he went to school, his old private practice, what he does in the community like being an honorary member of the koshari dancers. what's that? this. four paragraphs in total. it's not until the last half of the last one that you see why he should lose his job. we call this burying the lead in the news world. >> we're always trying to figure out how to make it as readable as possible. >> reporter: should they reexamine the rules? >> sur i don't think any of these programs are perfect. >> reporter: to be honest, we in the news media could also do better. we don't tend to cover judges races. let's fix that. these are this year's do not retain judges. michael schifferol. he is told to have poor legal writing, appears too chummy with his courtroom and doesn't

said she's bias towards the prosecution. jill-ellyn straus and shiferol, the experts are begging you to fire them. and chances are, you won't. first it was no self- fireworks with your ballot. now cd, -- selfies with your ballot. now cdot is chiming in. signs up on state highways. any sign in the state right of way is illegal. they will take it down. they store it in a maintenance facility, though, if you want to go back and pick it up. next question, what's the story with that big old cross on the mountain? you know, the one that lights up at night? it's called mount lindo off turkey creek road. [ bells chiming ] >> you know there's a cemetery up there? it's a peaceful place with an

year after the cemetery opened, 1964. the guy who had it built said you could see it from the window of his mom's park hill home at the time. people on facebook live today say they can see it from brighton on a clear night. it's the largest lit cross in the u.s. 393 feet tall made up of light panels. you can see them here from the behind view of the cross which is the closest view you can get. the thing is literally propped up against the mountain. they tried in the '80s, but jefferson county made it a historic landmark. it did go dim during the energy crisis of the '70s -- >> but because of the outcry of the city and the people, he had literally built windmills on top of the mountain to generate electricity to light the cross again. >> reporter: there you have it! and, hey, if you ever get a chance, check out the view. remember those mailboxes in lowry we told you about a few weeks ago?

after almost four weeks, the neighborhood is getting new mailboxes. they had to go to the post office to pick up their mail in the meantime. the hoa ended up footing the bill to replace them. well, we lost a member of our community today. and we wanted to pause for a moment to remember them. if you live in aurora, maybe you were late to work because your alarm clock wasn't working this morning. it was a power outage. raccoon. he loved rummaging through trash and wreaking havoc. so at least he died doing what he loved. the unmaim named raccoon was -- the unnamed raccoon was probably around 2 years old. we all have memories of childhood. but usually it's just that, memories. >> i remember how the steering wheel felt and how the front seat of the truck felt like a couch. >> he can relive it now by

[ sirens ] >> reporter: i had a flashback as a kid on the seat of that. i can't explain how big looking at it. >> oh, my gosh! check out the interior! >> it didn't have the labels, lights on it. but i could identify it immediately. >> test drive it and purchase this truck! >> i called the dealership and told them i needed to get it. >> reporter: he bought it in august for $13,000. >> it's in great shape! it's just old.
