Bill > SR010

This resolution affirms Colorado's commitment to democratic principles and electoral integrity by asserting the state's right to control its own elections, while rejecting recent challenges to voting access and election processes. The resolution specifically condemns threats and violence aimed at influencing election outcomes, opposes potential federal legislation like the SAVE Act that could create barriers to voter registration, and rejects unfounded claims about widespread non-citizen voting. It highlights Colorado's successful electoral system, which has achieved high voter turnout through innovations like same-day registration and automatic voter registration, while maintaining security through measures such as risk-limiting audits. The resolution calls on Congress and federal agencies to respect state election authority, uphold the Fifteenth Amendment's voting protections, and reject executive overreach that could compromise electoral processes. Additionally, the document affirms the dignity of all community members, regardless of voting eligibility, and commits to continuing policies that remove barriers to voter participation and strengthen election security. The resolution will be formally communicated to key federal legislative leaders and Colorado's congressional delegation.
