And you know what's the funniest part of all? They couldn't even wait until October to spring it?!
There's a good reason for that. Absentee voting starts this week or next week. In Colorado, up to 60% of the ballots will be absentee. So there's a huge amount of voting going on RIGHT NOW. The election in most races will be effectively over in two weeks.
They timed the release perfectly. 30% of the vote will be in before this gets straightened out, if it gets straightened out.
