2024 United States presidential election in Colorado (nonfiction)
The 2024 United States presidential election in Colorado is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Colorado voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Colorado has 10 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state gained a seat.[1] Colorado is expected to be targeted heavily by both parties, although the state has taken a large leftward turn in recent years, voting about 9 points more Democratic than the nation as a whole in 2020.
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for reelection to a second term.[2] On December 19, 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court reversed a Colorado District Court decision that the President of the United States is not an Officer of the United States while upholding the District Court's holding that former President Donald Trump had engaged in insurrection by inciting the January 6 United States Capitol attack, and was thus disqualified from the Presidency under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and ordered that Trump be removed from the 2024 Colorado Republican presidential primary ballot.

- 'I voted for him': Ex-Trump supporter behind lawsuit that axed him from Colorado ballot @ Raw Story (20 December 2023) - One of the plaintiffs who filed a Colorado lawsuit to disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot actually voted for him in the 2020 election he lost. Krista Kafer, a longtime Republican who was censured by the Arapahoe County Republican Party for her role in the case, appeared Tuesday night on CNN to discuss the ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court that upheld a lower court's finding that Trump engaged in insurrection and was thus disqualified from holding elected office. "I'm very, very happy about tonight's ruling," Kafer said. "I know there's going to be an appeal. This is really about the rule of law, it's about the Constitution. The constitution is very clear: If a person engages in the insurrection having taken oath of office to the Constitution, tries then to undermine that very document by fomenting an insurrection, as Trump did on Jan. 6, that person is ineligible, and the Constitution is very clear.
