7. Update 2: After speaking with registrars in multiple counties, I don't have a good answer except

they all express confidence that one way or another valid signatures will make it through whether they include the middle name or not. I could not get an answer as to why the middle names were seemingly added to the return envelop ballot nor why it was not addressed in the instructions, nor whether or not the programming to screen signatures would reject based on inclusion or exclusion of the full name if that on file was different in exclusion/inclusion of these elements. The assumption was that the voter panels of reviewing judges would catch any problems.

SO MAIL IT IN EARLY!!! That's my best recommendation. I did hear from Channel 9 News Political DIrector today. He expressed belief that the system will "work" and said he felt reassured after talking to the Denver voter integrity representative; still after several email discussions, I did get a pledge from him to inquire further.
