It is getting tiresome responding to these insulting, uneducated posts regarding the local miners. Many of the employees of 20 Mile live in the adjoining Moffat County. Here are election returns from the last two cycles:
2012 Romney 76%
Obama 22%
3rd 2%
2014
Gardner 76%
udall 17%
3rd 7%
What were the results in your county?
As for dope, anyone failing a periodic drug test is sent to counseling/detox and returned on probation. A second failed test and they're down the road, kicking cans. Who wants to work around someone where their momentary lapse in judgment can get you killed?

I have worked with Sandhogs doing tunneling work. They always managed to pass the tests after the business agent all had them drink some drink. I know they were using, I saw it.

While that may be true in Moffat County, it is not true for Colorado. Please consider the election result history from the 270 to win website:
Colorado gained statehood in August 1876. Although surrounded by "red" (except for New Mexico to the south) and despite the fact that it had voted Republican in all but three elections since World War II (before 2008), Colorado is considered a battleground state due to the independent nature of the electorate. In 2004, George Bush defeated John Kerry by 4.7%, the fifth closest outcome of the 31 states won by the incumbent president. The state shifted in 2008, voting for Barack Obama by 54%-45% over John McCain. Obama won again in 2012, but with a smaller margin of 5.4% over Mitt Romney. Colorado's population has been growing, and it now has 50% more electoral votes than it did in the 1960s.270 To Win
And, yes, Virginia (another purple state) can be just as stupid for voting in a Democratic governor, especially when the last Democrat we had thought he would save money by shutting down the interstate rest stops.
The Republicans are bad enough but this county is in sad shape when a sizable number of people want a socialist for president.
