BOULDER As many as 10 newly appointed Republican election judges are expected to be trained and in place by sometime Saturday to join the teams of workers charged with verifying Boulder County voters' signatures on ballot envelopes, county GOP chairwoman Ellyn Hilliard said Wednesday.

"I think we have things straightened out," said Hilliard, who earlier raised concerns about how few GOP judges the Boulder County clerk and recorder's office had hired to participate in overseeing the processing and tallying of voted ballots.

The Colorado secretary of state's office became involved, investigating how Boulder County recruited and appointed its 2014 general election judges as well as the makeup of the judge teams, which aren't supposed to include more than one member from any specific political party.

"We're trying to work on solutions to move the election forward to where the party chair and the party and the people can have some confidence in the process," deputy secretary of state Suzanne Staiert said Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) A former adviser to President Bill Clinton on Thursday said Congress will be more productive under complete Republican control.

Robert Wescott, who was a special assistant to the president for international economics and is now president of Keybridge, spoke to members of The National Economists Club Thursday at a luncheon, during which he offered predictions for the GDP (3% growth next year), the lay of the U.S. economic landscape and what policies they could expect to see come to the forefront come Nov. 4.

With a 67.2% chance of taking over in the Senate, according to FiveThirtyEights forecast, Wescott believes the possible right-controlled Congress will be more productive than that of previous years.

I think the Republicans will want to prove something, Wescott said, show they can get some stuff done heading into 2016.

First order of business: The Affordable Care Act. Mentioning that there are also Democrats who would like to see something done with it, Wescott said he doesnt see any way they dont address the law.

The Affordable Care Act is going to be a biggie, Wescott said, offering Republicans choices as either repealing or reforming it. Its going to be one of the things to watch early on.

I would recommend the reform path but thats just my view.

The other big focus for Republicans will be corporate tax reform, or at least Wescott thinks so. While saying there are people on both sides who want lower corporate tax rates, Wescott mentioned a lot of people think theres not a snowballs chance this will happen.

But he sees it as an issue of great magnitude and importance that, if done, will help the economy continue to grow.

Republican John Suthers has been in the news on issues ranging from guns to gay marriage during his last year as attorney general, underscoring the importance of an office often overshadowed in Colorado politics.

Attorney general has a range of duties, from enforcing consumer-protection laws to working with the state's 22 district attorneys to serving as the chief legal counsel to the governor and branches of state government.

That's why Democrat Don Quick and Republican Cynthia Coffman argue over being the best candidate for the job and why they each have serious concerns about their opponent. Also running is Libertarian David K. Williams.

Quick said Coffman wants to further a conservative agenda, not a Colorado agenda. His campaign slogan is "a prosecutor, not a politician." Coffman said Quick is not interested in defending all laws, but in picking his own "winners and losers."

Quick served as the chief deputy under Democratic Attorney General Ken Salazar and was elected to two terms as Adams County district attorney.

"I don't have a political agenda. I don't have any Democratic political agenda. I spent three out of my last four years prosecuting corruption in Adams County that involved ... Democrats," Quick said. "I've testified against bills that were sponsored by Democrats when I didn't think they were in the best interest of public safety."

Coffman, he said, announced during her speech to the Republican state assembly in April that she would be ready to band together with other GOP attorneys general to sue the federal government over a variety of issues, including the Second and 10th amendments.

"That's how she sees the job, as a political agenda," Quick said.
