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.
Legalization of lot was on the ballot in 2012 so that brought brought out a lot of lefty voters, this year maybe they’ll just get stoned and stay home.
