CO vows to fight president's mail voting order, CSP troopers attacked, adaptive motorsports, Dolly Parton remembered
Description
Colorado election officials are vowing to maintain the state’s all-mail ballot system, even as the Trump administration moves forward with plans to restrict who can get ballots that way. Then, two state patrolmen were shot in Woodland Park Tuesday, unleashing a huge law enforcement response. Plus, we get a look behind the controls of a new adaptive race car, designed for people with serious spinal cord injuries. And Dolly Parton, remembered not just for her music, but as ‘the book lady.’
