Tuesday’s election offered a wide range of results to digest, both in Colorado and nationally — at times going in different directions. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, the state’s most prominent Republican on the national scene, won a third term after a risky bet paid off. Colorado Democrats, meanwhile, remained in firm control of the state legislature, while voters answered ballot questions with answers that weren’t necessarily predictable. As the fallout from the election begins to take shape — including the change looming for the White House — here are early takeaways. Ballot measures offer an ideologically mixed bag For those keeping score at home: Colorado voters approved a sweeping constitutional amendment protecting abortion access, were on track to OK a new tax on gun and ammo sales, and approved a measure to remove anti-same sex marriage language from the state constitution — all red-meat Democratic issues. Simultaneously, as of early this morning they also were passing conservative-backed ballot measures to tighten criminal penalties and increase funding for law enforcement (which will pose serious issues for state budget-writers in the coming months).
