Comment on How Early Voting Breaks Down in Swing States After 31 Million Votes - Newsweek

Denver Post sports writer Corey Masisak opens up the Avs Mailbag periodically throughout the season. Pose an Avalanche- or NHL-related question for the Avs Mailbag.

Sean Payton loves October more than pumpkins. He is the NFL’s all-time winningest coach this month. And, before you ask, it is not just a New Orleans thing.
