Castle Rock, Colorado (KDVR) – Douglas County residents voted overwhelmingly against the home ruling charter that would give more power to the province.
With more than 83,000 votes calculated after the polls were closed at 7 pm on Tuesday, June 24, the charter failed by 71 % of the voters.
The internal government is a form of local governance that gives cities and provinces more independence from the state law, which means that boycotting the Republicans will have a greater position against the democratic state government. Weld, Pitkin and 100 cities were yearned at Colorado.
The judge did not push the front on the pretext that the representative of the Democratic State, Bob Marshall, and two residents in April. Marshall says that the electoral process was not transparent.
The police order in Douglas County issued a statement saying that he will not support the home rule, “because the home rule will give all power and power in the office of one person, or in a small group of a few people; there is little or without supervision of this authority and power.”
Commissioner George Tail told Fox31 that under internal ruling, the province may have moved to prevent collective bargaining between the boycott staff and create business relations with the enforcement of migration and customs in the United States.
“I am completely confident that we will have examples that move to the future in which the home base has affected the situation here, and I think that everyone in Douglas County can rely on to refer to that when they come out,” Tail said.

Tail said that battles for the rule of the home in Douglas Province are not over.
He said: “The home base initiatives never pass at first.”
Teal Fox31 tells that he feels that many residents have not fully understood the components of the home base charter.
“I would continue to continue the conversation that I did not hear from them that they do not want to have a conversation. I heard that they need more time that I heard they needed in more information. I will not go anywhere, I will be here to provide this information as much as possible,” he said.
Fox31 received the following joint response from Colorado County and Douglas County Classes for the Democratic Party.
“Democrats in Colorado constitutes voters in Douglas County by rejecting a exciting and divisive proposal. Voters explained that they wanted more general and transparency in determining the future of local government.
Douglas County is famous for strong political opinions, and the campaign against this misleading proposal has gathered people in unexpected ways. Through partisan lines – Republicans, Democrats, and voters that are not affiliated both – unified residents of a common commitment to a transparent and effective rule. Our differences did not divide us; We have pushed to cooperate and strive for what is better for our society.
There was a flagrant difference in the campaign tactics. Those who lead this effort chose to spread racist lies at the last minute about those who opposed their proposal, put partisan policy before transparency and doing what is better for everyone. We are proud to say that the people of Douglas County won this battle fairly and with dignity for their neighbors.
Now, it is time for the boycott leaders to return to safe and proven paths forward: listening to the population and involving society in shaping policies that serve all families. “
