DENVER- New numbers show 1.1 million Colorado voters are not waiting until Election Day to turn in their ballots.

According to the Denver Post, new election data shows that with less than a week before the big day, registered Republicans in the state are slightly ahead of the Democrats in casting mail-in ballots.

There have been more than 439,000 Republicans to cast their ballots and almost 405,000 Democrats.

As for independent voters, their number sits around 295,000.

And the polls will say Obama is 5pts ahead.

how many of the Dem’s will vote R this year? I have hopes that maybe at least 10%. Is that too optimistic?

Forget the lying polls!

Romney is going to carry this state and its not going to be close.

This is a turnaround from 2008. Obama was always favored here back then but people here are just sick of him now. They will be glad when his commercials are finally off the air!

"Sixty-nine percent (69%) of likely Colorado voters have already cast their ballots, and Romney leads 50% to 47% among these voters."
"The president leads 50% to 44% among voters in the state not affiliated with either of the major political parties." - from ras. I have been reading the independent turnout in Col will probably be low(can't find the link now though), good for Conservative issues/candidates according to the above information.

thats not alot..means nothing

I just wonder how many of those 405,000 Democrats who voted actually voted for Barry Soetoro.AKA Hussein Obama.

I would bet a good 40% of them voted for Romney.

I don’t think so. I voted early today, I prefer to vote on voting day but my family wanted to go today and we had my MIL so we all went.

I was thinking about voter fraud but I trust our county clerk as much as I trust anyone even though she is a Dimocrat and then thought that I can almost guarantee that she will vote for Mitt.

I am pretty sure that my state Representative and Senator, who are both Dims are voting for Mitt. The Representative is going Independent if she wins again. The Senator is extremely conservative on fiscal matters and pretty conservative on social issues and he is really the reason our state is in as good of shape as it is. I know them both personally and have heard from close family that they are voting for Mitt.

The Dims I know who would never vote for a Republican aren’t going to vote for Obama again.

Thanks. Yep, I like voting on voting day. Always have, always will as long as I’m able. IF OR and MN and other states have Romney getting close, I just feel we will win. But I’m a little greedy and want the Senate too so they can accomplish something without Reid in the way.
