Davidson's brother "was injured in a motorcycle accident in Phoenix on Saturday and remained in a coma in a hospital there. She said in a statement that through at least the end of this week, Colorado's election would be overseen by the deputy secretary of state, William A. Hobbs, and two election officers."
