I'd say Colorado is nearly a swing state, like PA, WI, MI and a few others. In Colorado the left-leaning city-dwelling voters have balanced out the right-leaning, rural, conservative voters and their statewide elections are often a tossup. Luckily the Supreme Court of Colorado hasn't been swayed by politics, and they've ruled based on the law and the Constitution.

I don't get all this pause ruling to allow appeal. A ruling is a ruling. It should be in effect immediately.

I think SCOTUS will disqualify him from Colorado but not make it a national ruling.
