The January 8 issue of the Glenwood, Colorado Post Independent has this editorial in support of a bill in the Colorado legislature to ease the prior disaffiliation law for independent candidate ballot access. Colorado does not let an independent candidate on the ballot if he or she has been a registered member of a qualified party at any time in the 17 months before the general election. Thanks to Nancy Hanks of The Hankster for the link.

The Denver Post had a similar editorial a few days ago.
