With initial results rolling into the Jefferson County Clerks office, Jefferson County Democrats appear to be leading their Republican counterparts in nearly every race down the ticket.

It’s important to note that zero of the county’s 262 precincts are completely reported and that much can and will change throughout the night. Yet these early results do indicate the intentions of early voters whose ballots have already been tabulated.

As of 7:30 PM, 258,257 votes have been counted. To put that number into perspective, 292,684 total votes were cast in 2008. Turnout will be higher this year, but these early results are indicative of the overall trends in Jeffco this go-around.

We’ll continue to update this thread with numbers from the competitive races throughout the evening.
