Posted by Jan Wondra | Feb 24, 2021 Just when you think things can’t get any more strange related to elections, they do. Across the country, dozens of bills are being introduced by an element of the Republican party, in multiple states, designed to limit voters’ access to ballots and to the election processes. Tuesday afternoon here in Colorado, a bipartisan group of lawmakers took a stand against a Republican minority, to protect Colorado election integrity, and maintain voter access. In the process, they thwarted an attempt to limit Colorado’s much-heralded all-mail-in voting process The bipartisan Colorado Senate State, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee acted to postpone indefinitely a bill that would threaten Colorado’s vote-by-mail system. The legislation, SB21-007, would pose a significant threat to Colorado’s election integrity by requiring voters to cast their ballots in person, and only allowing vote-by-mail if specifically requested by a voter.
