And, in a pamphlet sent to voters listing the pros and cons of 36, the legislative council of the statehouse noted that if the amendment passes, its retroactive nature "might cause court battles." After 2000, in this tight race, that may prove quite an understatement. --With reporting by Rita Healy/Denver
