Longtime Colorado political journalist Ernest Luning has been keeping track of ballot return figures via his Twitter account. This is not good for Republicans:
Premature gloating.
Sample size is too small.
Yeah, obviously it's a small sample. That doesn't change the fact that it is virtually unprecedented for Democrats to outpace Republicans in Colorado in early voting returns.
3 days later — Maybe was not premature.

Well, there you go again with facts. Very dangerous to gloat about facts!!!
But, does it matter?
"Trump Holds Strategy Meeting With Campaign’s Top Militia Leaders Ahead Of Election Day…We really need to start ramping up operations in every state during these final weeks before people head to the polls."

GOP mantra: "Don't blame me – I didn't vote."
Reminds me of my mantra after the 2000 election: "Don't blame me. I voted for McCain (in the primary)."
I could hear Moderatus' response now:
Nothing to see here. All is well. A big fat nothing-burger. Repeal and replace. Lock her up! Benghazi.
I also remember A.C.'s daily reports two years ago about the gap in returned ballots between Dems and Repubs. As election day approach, there was an uptick in ballots being returned by Dems. Perhaps we will see that again this year.
Haven't heard a thing from AC lately.
You spoke too soon. A.C. reared his head on the Weekend Open Thread with a cut and pasted cartoon about Dems and others who are backing the nasty woman sending bad hombres to incite violence at those rallies of tolerant and peace-loving supporters of Donald Trump.
Cartoons are all his kind has left.
My wife, an ex-Republican, and I just turned in our ballots. She was so disgusted with Trump that she took my advice (for once) and voted for all Democrats. Coffman and Windholz are going down!
I mailed my ballot today. Even though it's a Republican ballot, it does have votes for Hillary and Bennet at the top of the ticket. No Trump because he's a disgusting flim-flam man. No Glenn because….well, I don't like his platform and anybody who starts off an introduction by saying first he's a Christian doesn't understand the US Constitution (Article VI). Did find a couple Republicans to vote for, especially locally.
I more or less followed my past precedent with ballot initiatives of voting against all of them, with a few exceptions. Voted for 71 (Raise the Bar…..); voted for 106 (personal control in dying); and locally for 4B, to renew the SCFD culture sales tax. Voted against Jeffco 3A and 3B as they are highly unreasonable. Between the bonds and increased mill levy, provides over 1/2 billion dollars for a school district with flat enrollment levels. I probably would have voted for a more reasonable set of proposals; like maybe for half the cash.
Amendment T is a strange one. The banning of all "involuntary servitude" seems to eliminate prison work release programs. So, a ‘No’ vote.
I always split my ticket: D's from the top down until I reach local City and County of Boulder, then I switch to R. It doesn't help: this is a one-party town.
Some of the very best public officials I have known were boulder republicans. But it is harder and harder for them to swim upstream.
