The updated statistics for Colorado have just been released. Republicans have cut the Democratic advantage in ballots down to approximately 14,000. Democrats had been up around a 28,000 ballot advantage over the weekend. Definitely movement in the right direction.

Early voting differential in 2012?

Thanks for sharing. I heard that Reps need a +5-7 lead in EV, but I don’t think those folks understand that there is a large chuck of Unaffiliated voters. Do we know how these guys lean or have in the past elections?

2008 Rs lost early voting, lost.
2012 Rs won early voting, lost.

CO strange, but pot isn’t on ballot. Obviously a lead is better than not.

I am thinking that even though these dims are saying they are for Hillary I wonder if they’ll show up to vote now.

In CO they mail ballots to everyone - might it be that sending in the ballot early is a sign of a lack of enthusiasm? Simply drop it off in the mail, instead of participating in a collective vote for someone.

Yeah, I don’t think this encourages voting. We’ll see what final #s are.
