The petition signature gatherers are required to be Colorado residents. One lived with his in-laws in Colorado but owned a house in California. The court ruled that he was not a Colorado resident.
This is incompetence upon Rep. Lamborn’s part. Yes, Colorado’s requirements are a bit byzantine, but he is a six-term congressman, not a newbie to electoral politics.
As the candidate, he has the responsibility of ensuring that his petitions meet legal requirements, he didn’t.
Sucks to be him.
