UPDATE #2: Lines building across the city, update from the Denver Botanic Gardens:

At Denver Election Commission headquarters, voters are sitting while they wait to vote, but voters still moving through quickly:

UPDATE: The Denver Post:

Debra Johnson, Denver's Clerk and Recorder, says the city and county are geared up for 72 percent-plus turnout.

"Busy, busy and busy," Johnson said of her expectation for the day. "We are geared up to receive up to 150,000 ballots today."

Johnson said Denver typically votes last minute, adding that they looked at trends when determining turnout…

We're getting photos of lines at vote centers from around the Denver metro area, and reports that suggest building turnout on the 2014 election's final day. At the Tivoli on the Auraria Campus, several dozen consistently in fast-moving lines throughout the morning:

    1. Election day is a day I always sit back and give thanks for those who gave us our freedom over these many years.  To have peaceful "revolution" like this, even after all the horrors of a campaign, is just so beautiful.  Congratulations America!!

      1. If 400,000 more still come in, that means turnout in 2014 will be 300,000 more than in 2010 when the Dems did OK?  I remember a comment about realistic Republicans shaking in their boots today.  Do you really think this 15% increase in voter turn-out is going to benefit the Republican Party?

         

        PS.  Where'd you get the new numbers?

        1. I think this level of voting was anticipated and does not by itself help or hurt either party.  I think the estimate was 2 to 2.2 million total votes.  A much larger percentage of Republicans have been voting and there are obvious limits on that but the percentages will end up with Republicans at 39%, Dems at 32% and UAF at 28% which is more favorable to the Republicans than the polling outfits generally assumed by a couple points.

          Here is a link to the numbers. http://media.wix.com/ugd/786786_d8e198b471c24148b8968b2e0665921b.pdf

              1. The R/D spread shrunk a full percentage point with the first 200k ballots cast today. The balance of the vote will be increasingly less-friendly to R's.  Only in WIF's World would this be good news  

      2. If Dems are at parity with the remaining 400k, they win. That would mean a 124k R-D margin at 2.1m votes, which is under 6%. Bennet won in 2010 with a R+7 electorate. 

          1. I think you make a mistake in assuming Udall picks off Republican votes like Bennet did and retains Dem votes like Bennet did.  The polling I have read does not support that.  I take the turnout as Gardner picked up a couple points to his lead in the polls with was a 2-3 pointy lead.

            1. You sound desperate like buck did, in searching for votes like buck did and con man cory will end up like buck did. Oh well at least he won't have your nasty rash. Or will He?

    1. I assume this is just rank speculation with no facts behind it since all the other Republican BS about voter fraud has been, well bull shit.  I'm pretty sure that the Denver Election Clerks know how not to take a ballot that says Jefferson County on it.  I'm also pretty sure that all those wonderful students who ride the W-Line to the Jeffco Courthouse will be able to find the ballot box, which is one block from the station.

    1. Is it still going? It was fantastic BTW.  I think it was the best special exhibit yet because his glass creations are so organic looking they just seem to be growing along with the rest of plants in the garden.

      1. Looks like it's on until November 30th. While I can take or leave Chihuly on a glass by glass basis, I especially enjoyed seeing the exhibit at night, when the glass is lit up.

  1. No!!! But I'm sure that all those people voting at the Evergreen Motor Vehicle Office are from Clear Creek County and they're casting Jeffco ballots.  I just know it.

    1. Drop-offs, David. They also have machines there for same-day registrants (who, obviously didn't receive a mail ballot) and the die-hards who insist on doing things the old-fashioned way. 

    2. Lots of folks, especially Dem demo folks, procrastinate. Some just prefer the experience of in person voting. I know I never mail mine because it isn't entirely impossible for stuff get lost in the mail but I hand dropped mine a little over two weeks ago. There are also folks who left it laying around until it got lost or accidentally thrown away. They can vote in person and their mailed ballot is voided immediately.

      You may as well ask why stores are crowded Christmas Eve day or why there's a line at the late mail boxes outside the PO on April 15th.  Because not all of us get our Christmas shopping done in July or our taxes finished up before the middle of January. It's not like we didn't know Christmas and tax time were coming. BTW, the only people I know who do brag about having their Christmas shopping done months early are Republicans.wink
