Ohio Dark-Money Group Spends $2.2M on Colorado Mail-Ballot Measure
The committee is the only donor to the ballot effort, which would require voters to add identifying information to mail ballots or have them set aside.
- Between June 1 and July 1, the Coalition for American Prosperity and Growth donated $2.2 million to the Colorado Voter Trust Initiative, backing Initiative 362 to tighten mail-ballot requirements.
- Initiative 362, filed by former El Paso County elections official Chuck Broerman and Republican attorney Suzanne Taheri, requires voters to include ID numbers on mail ballots; supporters claim it ensures ballot security.
- The Coalition is not registered as a business in Colorado and lists a UPS store address in Colorado Springs, what some call a 'dark-money' tactic to hide benefactors.
- Opponents argue Colorado's existing signature verification system is already secure, warning that additional barriers could lead to unnecessary ballot rejection.
- Initiative 362 requires support from at least 55% of voters to amend the state constitution and will appear alongside as many as 14 other measures on the November ballot.
