Description | The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday agreed to review a lawsuit that contends U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn didn’t properly petition his way onto the ballot — an allegation that puts at risk his campaign for a seventh term.
Five Republicans from the GOP congressman’s district have questioned whether workers Lamborn hired to gather signatures for his re-election bid were actually Colorado residents, a state requirement.
A lower court last week largely sided with Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs, but the opposition appealed.
In a two-page order, the Colorado Supreme Court asked that attorneys in the case submit briefs by day’s end Thursday to address questions about how the state determines whether a circulator actually lives in Colorado — and the basis for critics to challenge that claim. |
