Republicans in the state have taken the lead in early voting in Colorado on the eve of Election Day.

Exactly. In Colorado, the “unaffiliated” voters are youngish libs or are recent immigrants from Eastern Red states. Maybe Trump is peeling off voters from that bloc.
That’s funny ...because a couple weeks ago on Fox, he said that she would win be 10%.
The Dems are scared here. I have two kids registered unaffiliated at my address and we voted last night. We had a Dem doorknocker yesterday and I lost track of how many phone calls. I’ve never seen anything like it. Plus, Hillary started ad buys about a week ago. Their internal polls must be scary.
Seriously doubt it. On election day Trump has a 9 point advantage according to ABC and Rassmussen.
Bumped to front page!
The day before the 2012 election there were 1.6 million early votes, this time around its going to be 1.85+ million
“4 more Colorado Trump votes being dropped off today.”
______
Make that 6 :)
2 more strongly conservative colorado votes from this house.
Yes thats right, I was referring to GOP lead which is down on 2012. Could mean anything at this point, not readint too much into that.
What do you think about the possibility that there could be a substantial amount of Democrats voting for Trump?
There is NO enthusiasm for Hillary here in Colorado. I mean absolutely NONE!
I have seen 1 bumper sticker for her, and I’ve been looking hard for six weeks.
Have two polls that show Trump is +7 with crossovers in NM and Nationally ...
Usually about 10% crossover, in both directions.
It’s a very powerful number because it’s a lost vote for one side and gained for other. So a 1 or 2% advantage for whichever side is multiplied by the total number of votes of both those two parties to erode or increase a lead.

I voted for Trump over two weeks ago.
Thanks!
Context is everything.
The EV numbers are *not* as good as they were in 2012. As of just before election day in 2012 Republicans led 37% to 35% in ballots returned in Colorado.
Bonzo ended up winning 51-46 over Mittens, so Rat turnout swamped the good guys on election day and overcame that tiny advantage which is even tinier this year.
This year, apparently more EV ballots were cast, FWTW.
I’m not one for government control freakery but I fail to see why any official is permitted to announce results that can and do sway results or subsequent voting patterns.
It will be interesting how theedia tries to explain Hillary winning when way more tepubs vote than dems
Actually it’s not necessarily the case that election day turnout favored the Rats — it’s more likely that, as someone above suspected, indies in Colorado broke hard left as you would expect them to.
Unless the indies really did an about-face in 2016 from 2012, those people who are blathering about how Hillary is “definitely” losing Colorado are going to be sad puppies in 36 hours.
Trump has a slightly better chance in NM or NV than he does in CO.
Won’t happen this year, this year the GOP will overwhelm the Democrats on voting day.
