SM001 was sent to United States Congressional leaders, urging them to pass comprehensive voting rights legislation to protect the fundamental right to vote and pushing the federal government to get more involved in state elections. This resolution reassert the validity of the 2020 presidential election results, condones “conspiracies” and the January 6th “Insurrection”.
The Colorado State Senate passed SM001 on January 18, 2022 by a vote of 20 to 13. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this resolution urges congress to expand the federal government’s role in elections, which could mean eliminating voter ID and other rules that could be detrimental to election integrity. This resolution is an attack on people who have the right to question the legitimacy of an election.
