Federal election monitors in Colorado, whether to simplify ballot language, and a new queer roller rink

Adams County is in one of the most competitive congressional districts in the country, and now the Justice Department says it wants to have a closer eye on voting there. Then, a proposed amendment aims to make Colorado’s ballot language easier to understand, but some worry it would have other results. Plus, today is the grand opening of Rainbow Dome, a new roller rink built specifically with the metro area’s queer community in mind.
