U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R), incumbent, vs Jason Crow, a lawyer and former U.S. Army Ranger (D): Voting for Crow
The rest is boring state crap, but these two piqued my interest.
Amendment 73 Originally called Initiative 93. A ballot measure that would change the state’s constitution focusing on public funding for education. Voters will decide whether to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy people to raise $1.6 billion for schools. The ballot would also fund full-day kindergarten and increase funding for preschools with special needs. Tax raises are always controversial in Colorado, which requires any increases to go before voters because of TABOR.: Voting yes.
Amendment A: A measure to remove language from the state constitution that still makes it technically legal for slavery and involuntary servitude to be used as a punishment for a crime (yikes). It would remove a sentence from Article 11, Section 25 of the state’s constitution that allows for this as a form of punishment and outlaws it under any circumstances. A similar and poorly-written version measure in 2016 led to some confusion that ultimately led it to be rejected by voters.: LOL
