Libertarian Party Wins Colorado State Court Lawsuit over Petition Deadline in Special Legislative Elections

On the evening of August 12, a state court in Colorado ruled in favor of the Libertarian Party, in the lawsuit over the deadline for candidates to get on the ballot for the upcoming September special State Senate elections. See this story. The new deadline for candidates to get on the ballot is August 26. A statute had said the deadline was at the end of July, but the State Constitution says the deadline is ten days before the election.

The decision apparently means that the election will still be held on September 10, but that voters will vote at the polls, instead of by all-mail ballot.
