Coloradoans weighed in on a number of legislative measures during Election Day. The results are mostly in. Several key district races were also decided. Colorado Sun publisher and co-founder Larry Ryckman joined KUNC's Michael Lyle, Jr. to break down the results from a busy Tuesday evening across the Centennial State.

To win, Democrat Trisha Calvarese must persuade voters who typically back Republicans to try something new. Listen to our host Michael Lyle Jr. discuss this story with The Colorado Sun reporter Jesse Paul and then read The Colorado Sun story at the link below.

The chairman of the Colorado Republican Party has been ousted in a vote that he says is illegitimate. Dave Williams has attacked fellow Republicans whom he viewed as not being ultraconservative, prompting infighting in the party.

Former Republican U.S. Rep. Ken Buck resigned from Congress frustrated by a flank of the GOP's unwavering devotion to former President Donald Trump. Now he will likely be replaced by one of their most boisterous leaders, Rep. Lauren Boebert.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert faces her first election in a Republican primary since she fled a tough reelection bid in Colorado and ran in a more favorably red congressional district across the state.

Sandra Fish, a veteran reporter with The Colorado Sun, was kicked out of the Republican Party’s state assembly in Pueblo recently. Fish was given a press pass when she entered the event but was later escorted out by a sheriff’s deputy. State GOP party chair Dave Williams said Fish was kicked out because he believes her reporting is "unfair." The Colorado Sun editor Larry Ryckman joined KUNC's Michael Lyle Jr. to discuss the aftermath of this story.

Politicians and news outlets have expressed outrage over the expulsion of a Colorado politics reporter from a Republican gathering over the weekend. Sandra Fish, a reporter for the Colorado Sun, was told Saturday that the state party chairman believed her reporting was "very unfair."

Republican Rep. Ken Buck has announced that he'll resign next week, narrowing his party's razor-thin House majority and scrambling the already heated GOP primary to fill his Colorado seat. Buck is a staunch conservative who already declined to run for reelection as he became increasingly critical of his party's handling of former President Donald Trump.

U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, a conservative Republican who represents much of Colorado's rural eastern plains, says he won't seek a sixth term in Congress. The 64-year-old former prosecutor on Wednesday cited many in his party who refuse to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election and to condemn the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. He was one of the eight Republicans who joined with Democrats to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in early October.

A surprise effort by hard-right House Republicans to impeach President Joe Biden has been sidelined for now. But the ability of GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert to force the issue demonstrates the challenge Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces in controlling his own Republican majority.
