Tired of hearing about the election? And thinking about the election? We get it.

But before we move on, let’s walk through a few notable decisions that Colorado voters considered this week. Like whether we should ban the hunting of mountain lions and other big cats. And whether sales of guns and ammunition should help pay for mental health services. And a measure that would have transformed how Coloradans vote for candidates.

ITN’s Erin O’Toole spoke with Lucas Brady Woods, KUNC’s politics and elections reporter, to analyze what passed, what failed, and how Colorado voted this election.

Just a reminder that ballots in some contests are still being tabulated. KUNC will continue to provide updates as more election results are announced.
