Colorado Springs

This is the situation as we understand it. In the process of trying to qualify to run this fall for the DD5 seat, Ivy submitted a sworn affidavit that she had moved outside of the DD she currently represents. Under the law, she has to vacate that seat immediately since she no longer resides there. However, she did not submit enough valid signatures to be certified for the November 2023 ballot. Therefore, she is out of her current seat immediately having "moved," but is not eligible for the 2023 ballot. The board concluded she committed election fraud because she attempted to lease an apartment in the district that was not her primary residence. Her primary residence has never been in D49.
