State Court in Colorado Bars Enforcement of Major Provisions of Campaign Finance Initiative, Amendment 54, on First Amendment Grounds

I have posted the opinion in Dallman v. Ritchie here. According to the opinion “Amendment 54 prohibits contributions to any candidate for any elected office of the state, the counties, municipalities and special districts and to any political party made by the holder of ‘sole source government contracts’ valued in the aggregate at more than $100,000. The amendment also prohibits contributions to promote or influence a ballot issue election by a person who wants to qualify for a sole source government contract relating to the ballot issue.”
