On April 30, U.S. District Court Judge Philip Brimmer refused to let certain opponents of Congressman Doug Lamborn intervene in Lamborn’s case against the Colorado law banning out-of-state circulators. He said he is sympathetic to the position of the intervenors, but that they have nothing to add to the case. The proposed intervenors are the people who challenged Congressman Lamborn’s petition.

The intervenors then immediately asked the Tenth Circuit to force Judge Brimmer to let them intervene. In the Tenth Circuit, the case is In re Baldini, 18-1179.
