ANNOTATION

The equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not command Colorado to grant the power of initiative to the electors of statutory counties simply because it has granted that power to the electors of home rule counties. Save Palisade FruitLands v. Todd, 279 F.3d 1204 (10th Cir. 2002).
