COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- As the election creeps closer, some questions are popping up about door-to-door ballot collections.
Elizabeth Tafoya lives near Airport Road and Circle Drive.
She said two men came to her apartment on Friday, and asked if she wanted them to turn in her ballot for her.
Tafoya gave them her ballot, and a copy of her identification card, and did not think twice about it.
That is, until the next day, when she spoke to her father who warned her the whole thing may have been a scam.
"The guys were between 25 and 30 years old, and they seemed real nice," Tafoya said. "It was about 7:30 or 8:00 at night when they came knocking, and I trusted them."
Tafoya said in the past, she has gone to her local polling station to vote.
She said this is the first election she has received her ballot in the mail.
"This was all new to me, with them coming to the door," Tafoya said. "I did not think anything of it like I said, until I spoke with my Dad."
FOX21 does not know who the people were that took Tafoya's ballot, but what we do know is door-to-door ballot collections are legal in Colorado in some cases.
The El Paso County Democratic Party said they have not been knocking on doors collecting ballots, while the El Paso County Republican Party said they have.
Representatives from President Obama's campaign confirmed they are on the streets collecting, while Gov. Romney's team said they are not.
"I do not want anyone to be leery about it, two guys that look nice coming into your house," Tafoya said. "I did not think anything of all that, except for the identification card part."
In Colorado, partisan campaign representatives are allowed to collect up to ten ballots, but officials said no one should ever ask for a copy of your ID.
"Yeah (they) could change my vote, but not only that, now they have all my information," she said. "My name and where I live."
Tafoya said she is filing a police report with the Colorado Springs Police Department.
