Colorado Politics: Members of the Colorado Supreme Court considered on Tuesday whether an organization that spent $4 million to advocate for ballot initiatives in the 2020 election was required to disclose its donors and spending.

The organization, Unite for Colorado, advanced a straightforward argument: It spent 10% or less of its money on a single ballot measure. It spent less than 25% of its money on ballot measures. Therefore, Unite for Colorado did not have a “major purpose” of ballot issue advocacy that triggered the state’s disclosure requirements.

However, during oral arguments, some members of the Supreme Court were worried about the results of that logic. Specifically, an organization could avoid the transparency required of issue committees if it were so wealthy that its expenditures on ballot initiatives were relatively small in comparison.
