Election reform not dead
If you read today’s Denver Post editorial about the draft “Modernization of Elections” bill, you’d be excused for thinking the bill is dead for this session.
The editorial discusses the draft bill mostly in the past tense–and argues that it should be taken up next session, with modifications.
The first sentence of the editorial reads:
“An interesting set of election reforms that merited consideration has been shelved at the Colorado legislature.”
Actually, the bill has NOT been shelved for this session, according to a reliable source.
And something else you wouldn’t know from reading The Post today: County clerks support the draft bill. More on them later.
