Colorado Politics
I'm relatively new to Colorado, and I was surprised to see that the Colorado lottery can be played via a phone app. Is there any political action in opposition to this that you could point me toward?
So glad I have to wait three days after buying a shotgun. It's amazing how much of a deterrent the new Visa Gun Registry, waiting list, and age restrictions are. I really love jumping through hopes to exercise my rights. Hey, maybe next they will make me log into my citizens portal that monitors all of my online use just in case there is a chance to catch the next 1:99999999 terrorist that isn't a part of a three letter agencies. Colorado is such a big freedom loving state. /s if it wasn't obvious.

Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.): Lamborn survived a primary scare last cycle when he received less than 50% of the vote but triumphed in a four-person race. We didn’t hear back from Lamborn’s campaign team on whether he was running in 2024.
