"This historic win marks the three seats flipped for the House Republicans this year! We are so excited to welcome them to our House Caucus! Well done on your hard-fought races, Representatives!" When a party has a supermajority, it means they have enough votes to put a constitutional measure on the ballot, override a governor's veto, and amend their chamber's rules without the support of the minority party, according to Colorado Public Radio.
"Speaker of the House Julie McKluskie announced that Colorado Democrats will keep our majority in the Colorado State House," the party posted on X on November 7.
The Democratic Party appears to have lost its supermajority in the Colorado House of Representatives.
The difference between Democrats having the supermajority and a regular majority in the Colorado House of Representatives may be a mere seven votes.
That is because Republican Rebecca Keltie had a seven-vote lead over Democrat Stephanie Vigil in House District 16 when El Paso County posted its final unofficial election results late last week.
"These results will have very little practical implications, but they do show that the Republican party in Colorado is still as lost as they have ever been," she told Colorado Public Radio.
Even though they lost seats, the Colorado Democratic Party praised itself for holding the majority in both chambers.
