Colorado:
Ballot
Status
Uncertain,
Voters
Certain
11/6/98
A state court ruling just
days before the election eliminated Colorado's medical marijuana initiative
from the ballot. However, as the ballots had already been printed,
many voters pulled the lever anyway. CBS News reported on election
night that 59% of voters approved the measure, although the issue was locked
out in certain districts, thereby making an official count impossible.
There is an ongoing appeal
in Colorado regarding alleged mismanagement of both signature counts by
the Secretary of State, leading to the disqualification of the initiative.
If proponents can show that the measure was wrongfully disqualified, it
would then automatically be placed on the ballot in 2000, and it's possible
that damages could be awarded. The Week Online will keep you up to
date as this story progresses.
