In 2013, a Democrat and Republican from Colorado’s state congress proposed SB 13-065 . This bill would have given all Colorado municipalities the right to adopt Approval Voting for non-partisan elections. The bill was supported by Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler (R). [This should in no way be interpreted as an endorsement of Scott Gessler.] Despite bipartisan sponsorship and endorsements from both Common Cause and GOP Secretary of State Scott Gessler, the Senate State Affairs Committee killed the bill on a 3-2 vote.
