DENVER â Colorado lawmakers are considering a bill to tweak the way elections will run in the state. Bill co-sponsor Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, says the bill offers a number of technical changes but is also aimed at making voting in Colorado even easier.
âIn Colorado we have a really good and well-functioning, assessable election system. We, just about every year, run a bill that takes lessons learned from the previous election, and we try to make little tweaks to ensure that our election system is running better,â said Fenberg.
