For the first day since ballot return numbers started being counted on Monday, Colorado Republicans returned more ballots Thursday than Colorado Democrats. The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office updates the number of ballots returned via mail and votes made in-person each day, and breaks down the votes by which party each person who submitted a ballot is registered for.

Here come the reserves ...
Great news here in CO! D turnout is way down compared to 2012.
Based on early voting numbers, I feel good about prospect for a Trump win here.
Hoping Colorado brings it for Trump, if so this could be the election.
So +2 Dem, what happened to the +8 D that are in the polls?
+2 Dem at the moment, if the trend continues it will be less then that !!
A CO win would put Trump over the top.
Polls showing D+7, which is almost all of them are way off.
If it really D +2, Trump will win CO comfortably.
We’re seeing this all around the country.
Huzzah!
Does anybody know how this compares to 2012? I thought I saw a statistic that it was R+2.3% in early voting 2012 which would indicate Republicans are behind 2012 pace.
In 2012, Ds dominated the vote.
As we know, Obama went on to win CO and across the country.
Momentum simply isn’t there this time.

So Ds were ahead in early voting also in 2012 ?

Also, the whispy-thin, weepy-eyed millenials that were OFA’s backbone flipped to Bernie, and their dreams were sadly crushed by the DNC’s establishment.
And what % of D’s are Reagan style Dems and vote for Trump. That might be pretty sizable.
Ping.
Trump is in Golden, CO tomorrow.
Question? How do they know this? Do the ballots look different for each party?
I have always thought Colorado was key if he were to have a path to victory.
While FR can sometimes be an echo chamber, there seem to be more people on board with Trump and less infighting this time around than Myth or Juan McCain.
My two cents and a $2.00 will get you a cup of coffee, but it seems more of the base is rallying behind Trump, AND he is attracting more crossovers from traditional Dem blocks (blacks, millenials, etc) than what the stupid party was able to do in '08 or '12.
Not to mention, many pubbies got out the vote in 2010 midterms only to watch "Tea Party" candidates become status quo GOPe. Trump represents a house cleaning of sorts....rather than the belief that if we vote Myth, a pubbie congress will hold his feet to the fire....it's if we vote Trump, he will hold the pubbies in congress over the fire - there is no status quo.
Combine that with low enthusiasm for Hellary, and I think we will see Trump win, if not a Reaganesque landslide.
How the hell do they know whether a ballot is R or D?
