What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A lawsuit was filed in Arapahoe County challenging the signature certification and ballot measure processes in Colorado regarding Amendment 87, which proposes a graduated income tax rate. Michael Andre Hancock filed the suit against Secretary of State Jena Griswold and proponents of the measure, including Chris deGruy Kennedy and Kiyana Newell. The lawsuit questions the validity of 9,849 signatures, alleging that 69 paid signature gatherers were not registered or trained petition circulators, and also challenges the Secretary of State’s review of the signatures.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Amendment 87 seeks to replace Colorado's current 4.4% flat income tax with a graduated tax rate. If the signatures are revoked, the measure would not qualify for the ballot. The challenge introduces regulatory uncertainty regarding the state's future tax structure and potential revenue streams.

A race for Secretary of State office and term limit issues are currently active in Colorado, and a primary election for state office is underway in Colorado.
