Statewide 2019 Election Results

Sports gambling passed by 20,000 votes so that is supposed to start in May of 2020. Makes the games much more interesting when you have a $20 on it.
CC failed. Some Democrats are preparing to make it a ballot measure again in 2020, maybe higher voter turnout will finally de-bruce the state? Governor Polis thinks it would be better to work around the limits. Or better sell when the state needs to increase taxes?

I didn't have a horse in the DD issue. If you want to bet that is your business.
I would support gambling in Colorado as in Nevada. Why not? We are the leader in legalized marijuana.
My opposition to DD would have been that it is a tax that simply gives the government more funds to abuse.

Jefferson County is choosing to return voter's money to them by lowering their property mill levies. So "de-Brucing" would have been a tax hike, the Blue Book lied.
