Denver November 2003 Election

Monday is the last day to register to vote in the November election.

Amendment 33 is the subject of this story from the Rocky Mountain News [October 1, 2003, "Effort to put video lottery in racetracks is a gamble"]. From the article, "Since voters approved small- stakes casinos in three once-roaring mining camps in 1990, they have resoundingly voted down attempts in 1992, 1994 and 1996 to permit casinos in about 30 other communities, including Denver. No casino question has appeared on the statewide ballot since 1996. Still, in 2000, voters approved adding the multistate Powerball game to the Colorado Lottery 52 percent to 48 percent."

Here's a story from the Rocky [October 1, 2003, "Gambling amendment berated"] about opposition to Amendment 33. From the story, "She (Commerce City Councilwoman, Tracey Snyder) worries that public schools near the dog track could be affected and that local residents won't even have the right to vote to override the plan if voters statewide approve it" The Rocky also lists some of the history of gambling in Colorado.
