One less initiative on hefty Colorado ballot
An initiative that would have preserved affirmative action programs in Colorado fell short of the required number of signatures to make November’s crowded ballot, the secretary of state’s office said Wednesday.
Initiative 82 was nearly 8,000 signatures short following a line-by- line verification of the petitions, according to Secretary of State Mike Coffman.
There are 18 statewide issues on the Nov. 4 ballot, in addition to local ballot questions and races, state legislative contests, and U.S. House, Senate and presidential races.
