DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — In Douglas County, two conflicting ballot measures are expected to pass and then likely head to court.

Question 201, which was drafted by a citizen group, asked if the five commissioners should all be voted on by district, or three by district and two at large. So far, most voters have said by district.
