House passes budget; Senate passes recall election reform and voter fraud...

Notes from the 80th day of the 2014 legislative session

Election-year push for election-law timeout likely doomed

No violation: JeffCo ‘duplicate ballot’ was a Delta County special election...

In its internet afterlife, the mystery ballot was held up as evidence that recent electoral reforms were opening the state to fraud. In fact, it demonstrated the system is working as well as it ever has done, and maybe better.

Colorado joins 2012 national voter ID war

The bill, HB 1111, passed in a party line vote in the Republican-controlled House State Affairs committee but is sure to be killed later on a party-line vote in a Democrat-controlled Senate committee.
