Sec of State Griswold did not file the Petition, it is ANDERSON vs GRISWOLD, the Sec of State is the defendant, not the plaintiff, who are mostly Republican. Included are: Krista Kafer, a Republican activist and political commentator in Colorado; Norma Anderson, a Republican who was formerly the majority leader in the Colorado Senate; Michelle Priola, the wife of state Sen. Kevin Priola, who switched his party affiliation to Democratic from Republican in 2022; and Chris Castilian, former chief of staff for then-Gov. Bill Owens, a Republican.

@CarbageMan Colorado has a specific law which allows citizens registered to vote in primary to challenge the qualification of anyone on the ballot, that's what ANDERSON vs GRISWOLD did, it was legal, and it went through the courts, it was denied in the lower court, they appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court and won a 4-3 decision. It was LEGAL. I've read the petition, you can, too. It's online. I don't agree with the decisions, as I don't think the Colorado court has standing in a General election, only the primary, which may be how SCOTUS overturns the decision, but just a guess. Republicans brought the petition, the Chief Justice dissenting based on the "speedy" ness of the law, which he felt did not allow for due process. All very technical.
