On June 29, the Colorado Supreme Court refused to hear the Secretary of State’s appeal in a ballot access case. This means the decision of the lower court stands.
The lower state court had put Jennifer Coken on the Democratic primary ballot, even though the Secretary of State had ruled she didn’t have enough valid signatures. There were two issues. The Secretary of State had invalidated signatures of people who had signed both for Coken and for one of her opponents in the same race, because the opponent had submitted her petition first. The other issue was whether signatures should be invalidated if the circulator had moved during the middle of the petition drive.
