    Colorado Inside Out November 6th, 2026

    Colorado’s political landscape is shifting, with surprising congressional victories, Democratic supermajorities at the State Capitol, and a changing map in traditionally Republican districts. The Insiders also look at the ballot measures that passed and failed, the potential implications as lawmakers prepare for the next legislative session, and the questions facing both parties — and a state that has long prided itself on independent thinking and a strong sense of community.

    With Election Day just days away, the Insiders discuss voter turnout and the growing debate over election oversight. Which Colorado ballot measures are capturing their attention, and what factors could influence voters’ decisions?

The Insiders also share their projections, the surprises and what they’re watching most closely in the final days of the election.

    With Election Day just over a week away, several of Colorado’s traditionally Republican congressional districts are looking more competitive. The panel examines the legal battle over Amendment 87 and whether the proposal to change Colorado’s income tax system will remain on the ballot. Two other proposed constitutional amendments raise questions about voter identity verification and making ballot language easier to understand. And we look beyond the ballot error involving Colorado’s proposed CoCo passenger rail service to examine questions about accountability, oversight, and the district’s handling of the project.

    This week on Colorado Inside Out, we examine the 2026 election as Colorado voters begin receiving their ballots. Our Insider panel shares what stood out to them from the only expected face-to-face discussion between gubernatorial candidates Phil Weiser and Victor Marx, and discuss why candidates are increasingly skipping debates and forums. We dig into Amendment 87 and the debate over changing Colorado’s flat income tax . The Insiders also look at the attorney general’s race, and how one of the candidates is at the center of a big ballot mixup in which 800,000 Front Range residents have an issue on their ballots, that they shouldn’t have. There’s a lot to discuss with Election Day a little over 3 weeks away.
