Republicans are blowing out Democrats in Colorado early voting, the secretary of State there says.
ADVERTISEMENT According to the Associated Press, 104,000 more GOP voters have taken advantage of early voting in Colorado than Democrats. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) is trailing his Republican opponent, Rep. Cory Gardner, in most polls. A loss by Udall would make it exceedingly difficult for Democrats to retain control of the Senate.
Colorado’s Democratic governor, John Hickenlooper, is also in a tight race as he seeks a second term. Historically Democratic voters have long been more likely to stay at home in midterm elections, and the party’s base is also unhappy or disaffected with many of their leaders.
The AP said that 41 percent of the 1.1 million early ballots were from Republicans, with roughly a third coming from Democrats and a quarter from independent voters. Colorado’s voters are basically evenly split among the three groups.
Republicans said those results showed how strong a position they were in, after the GOP has tried to modernize its get-out-the-vote efforts on social media and other platforms.
Older voters – more likely to side with the GOP – have voted early in bigger numbers, and younger Republican voters have even outvoted their Democratic counterparts.

Good news indeed. I’ve been worried about the ‘Rat Party’s GOTV operations and possible vote fraud. I’ll be so glad when this election is over.
Good. First act should be to lose that gun control crap they passed.
CO went all-mail ballots? What, you don’t mail them back, you take them to the precinct to cast them?
Udall and Chickenpooper are toast!
Well, the upside is the democRATS know how many votes they need to fake to win.
Chickenpooper wishes he had a ‘do over’ on that gun control bill.
What’s your champagne-to-razor-blade index? I’m definitely leaning more about 70% champagne... fingers crossed...
Nate Silver’s at 68.5 champagne last time I saw.
They will both lose.
Republicans will pick up 7-9 Senate seats ( some after the runoffs ) when all is said and done.
I give it about an 75% chance that 2 more RAT Senators will jump ship to the GOP when we win, ME and WV.
One of the first agenda items for the new congress should be an investigation of voter fraud in America.
I sure hope so, I pray CO turns it ALL red, all the way down to city councilmen, sheriffs, janitors, ALL of them.
Well, if the Democrats can call out a massive cry for people to come to the polls, then the Republicans can easily do the same, it’s a lot like playing capture the flag, you try to make a hard flag to get, you can expect your opponents to start playing similar, or possibly even better plays later on.
It should be against the law for election trends to be released before the close of polls on Election Day. This is all part of George Soros’ manipulation of the appointment or elections of the State Secretaries of State, who control elections. No matter which way the early returns go, announcement of a trend can either lull the complacent apparent winners to stay home, or force a last-minute rush by the apparent losers, especially by busloads of fraudsters sent in by organized vote-tampering criminal syndicates now flourishing under Holder.
Amen to that.
And term limits for congress as well.
one good thing about the CO pot law. the liberals and libertarians are too stoned to find the polling place.
DITTO - that’s the reason I hate early voting.
“Republicans are blowing out Democrats in Colorado early voting”...
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
...but it’s the late voting I’m worried about.
Does CO have any “voting” done on election day? I thought I read that they were an all mail ballot state. How does that work?
Dunno. I’m in NC.
