@NateSilver said Hillary cannot afford to lose even one state. She is going to lose CO.

Anyone know how this compares to 2012?

As of Monday, 1,852,029 Colorado ballots have been returned, Secretary of State Wayne Williams said. That's 55 percent of the 3,343,879 Colorado registered voters whose ballots were mailed to them last week. And it's two-thirds of the 2.8 million votes that 9News political analyst Floyd Ciruli projects will be cast in this election.

As of Monday, 652,380 registered Republicans have voted in Colorado already, versus 645,020 Democrats and 527,706 unaffiliated voters.

I'm worried about unaffiliated in CO - different breed there ...

Trump ground came is very strong in CO. They have people from CA, OR and NRA working on ballots.

If Trump lands CO, OH, FL, IA, NC... he’ll surprise in other states and it’s over for Cankles.

If these early voting numbers are reality wrt rep/dem breakdown and comparisons to 2012.... WOW

I started to believe CO was going to be the state that flipped the election, based on the information at the link, until I read your comment above. Normally, unaffiliated voters lean Trump, except probably in states that lean hard left.

Awesome ! Whoever wins the unaffiliated wins CO.

[ducdriver]

Hickenpooper says she wins by 5%.

[UKrepublican]

Its down slightly on 2012, but has recovered massively in last week or so, was over 10% down at one point I believe.

[comebacknewt]

Republicans had a slight early vote lead in 2012 in Colorado as well.

I honestly think whoever wins Colorado wins the election. It is going to be reeeeeeally close.

[jennychase]

Last min undecided will vote for Trump. Especially, Male and female 45+

[FlipWilson]

Has there been any credible polling on how unaffiliated voters are leaning in CO?

[Rokke]

Ground game is strong. Our 4 ballots were submitted Friday. My kids are twins and turned 18 a couple months ago. We were getting several phone calls a day saying are ballots haven’t been recorded. They posted on Sunday. Today, no calls. Never got called once in ‘08 or ‘12.

Chickenpooper has smoked too much of that legal Colorado weed.
