Instead we want to help you understand the questions that youre being asked. So were breaking down a few, including amendment t. It addresses the fact that slavery under some circumstances is still legal in colorado. Amendment t asks, quote, shall there be an amendment to the colorado constitution concerning the removal of the exception to the prohibition of punishment for persons duly convicted of crimes. Voting yes means you want to remove language from the colorado constitution and change the laws so that people cannot be held as slaves or involuntary servants as punishment for a crime. Voting no means you that want to keep colorados original language in the constitution. Now, next week its up to voters to really interpret what this constitutional language means.
