Colorado is a blue state with the following caveat as noted by Axios Denver:
A cautionary outlook comes from state Democratic Party chair Morgan Carroll. "Republicans haven't had a non-Trump Republican Party to choose from in a while … and if they ran a more normal Republican, I actually think we'd see Republicans win in the state more often," she says.
Better candidates would make a difference.
And they would have more pride in themselves and in the job they are seeking.
Schiff? You mean Frisch?
Can we blame autocorrect for this one? 🙂
Fixed.
Rogue staffer!
I was gonna say the same thing. Maybe they are celebrating with Colorado’s famous produce?
Now that they lost with a ticket of panty-waste, milquetoasts (Ganahl, O'Dea, Anderson, Sias and Kellner), the state GOP will need to run a full MAGA slate next time.
That's possible. The batshit crazies are surely thinking that Loren Hanks and the wife beater couldn't have done any worse.
I think Ganahl and her crazy hurt them bad down ballot. Governor is the marquee race, even more than Senator. The Republican party has a reputation for crazy (go figure) and having the leading candidate spouting off a different crazy theory each week led, I think, a lot of voters to figure all the Republican candidates were crazy.
That's pantywaist, L.B. It was a turn-of-the-last-century garment that was an undershirt and underpants in one, like a leotard. They were mostly worn by girls, hence their association with less than thoroughly masculine men or boys.
Has Moderatus graced us with his presence on this Not-So-Gloomy post-election day?
I’m guessing it’s hard to log in and offer a cogent thought from a fetal position? It wasn’t that long ago he was making clear he was going to make Kevin Priola “pay” for his defection. Maybe he’s making those preparations? Who’s going to tell him Kevin isn’t to blame for the crushing loss yesterday?
And so now we wait to see if Democrats win every competitive race.
Every fucking one.
Wow!
Do stupid stuff to be face of gqp and it does bring national attention. Losing to good Dem and you get national attention too -lots of reports of losing in Washington Post.
"Democrats crunching the numbers are feeling pretty confident that both Frisch and Caraveo will maintain their leads."
Oooh, tell us more
CO-03:
With 95% reporting:
Adam Frisch: 50.4% 151,606 votes
BimBoebert: 49.6% 149,405 votes
CO-08:
With 92% Reporting:
Yadira Caraveo: 48.6% 88,122 votes
Barbara KirkLiar: 47.5% 86,149 votes
Frisch actually gained 201 votes from his 92 pct talley.
And Boobert is under-performing in Mesa County, where she pulled a hair under 61 percent two years ago to 56 percent this time. It shows there are rational Republicans left over here, plus the emergence of a rational bipartisan group called Restore the Balance. Check out its website for a political who's who of Mesa County. Also, Pueblo isn't the Democratic bastion it once was, but the Dems do have Frisch ahead by several thousand votes, about 5,000 so far.

this will fall into the "your vote really DOES matter" category. Even more than the Iowa district 2 years ago that was under 400 votes. We will be learning to spell R-E-C-O-U-N-T.
here's hoping that the Txt2Cure ballots and the UOCAVA voters that trickle in between now and Nov 16 lean toward Democrats, since all the MAGA advice was to vote late and vote in person.
I was working in a polling place this election and I can tell you, a good 75% of the voters we got in the last 2 hours of election day (our busiest time) fell into the Txt2cure/provisional categories. Many of them were "new to Colorado" voters with ID requirement issues to resolve. I am happy to say only one was unable to resolve and had to go to provisional in my vote center.
CO-3 I understand, but what kind of hick-ass, stump-jumping, hillbilly methods are they using to count in CO-8?
I get the impression that Adams County has always been slow in counting.
Counting is a bit more involved than you might know.
People were still pulling ballots out of slit envelopes, checking for extraneous marks, signature affidavits and other enclosures, and neatly stacking the ballots when I left Denver Elections at 4:00 pm today. I understand I may be doing some of that tomorrow when I go back in.
EVERY valid ballot gets counted. Ballot problem letters and texts are going out, and people have a week to "cure" validation problems (mostly signatures). Ballots from the Uniformed and Overseas Citizen Absentees folks will continue to arrive by mail until a week from today, too. And some ballots went into dropboxes of other counties, and the great exchange among counties has to happen. 18-November (Friday) is the last day for the county clerk to complete verification and counting of provisional ballots for the 2022 General Election. 6-December is the deadline to request Recounts. 15-December is the Last day to complete a recount of the 2022 General Election requested by an interested party. (No later than the 37th day after the election)
Nice. That's gonna leave a mark.
😆
It is my understanding that congressional districts have approximately the same population. Is there a simple explanation for why it appears that 300,000 votes have been counted in CD3, with an estimated 15,000 left, and 180,000 have been counted in CD8, with 15,000 left? Both were competitive races. Why such a difference in participation?
And it *is* participation. I don't think CO-03 has that many children, noncitizens, and incarcerated "residents" over CO-08.
Oof. Just saw Frisch's lead has shrunk to 62 votes. Does anyone know if they just finished tabulating ballots from Mesa?
From Kyle Clark on Twitter, just a minute ago:
"The Boebert-Frisch race is tied 50-50% but the bulk of ballots yet to be counted, per AP, are in Pitkin County (80% counted, currently Frisch +58, not a typo), Pueblo County (91.6% counted, currently Frisch +9.6), and Garfield County (90% counted, currently Frisch +13.6)."
But should I trust the media?
This is such a nail biter. C’mon Frisch, You can do it!!
Tucker Carlson is calling for the replacement of the Republican leadership in both the House and Senate for their incompetence in causing what happened yesterday.
I'd be very happy with a wingnut circular firing squad
Woo-Hoo!!! for CD8!!! All politics aside, the more compassionate human being won!
I just finished during my sweep of all 435 congressional races in the nation and CO-3 is the closest of the undecided. By my count (which is different than that used by CNN et al) we are down to 9 races too close to call. Dems have win 8 of them to keep the majority. GOP only needs to win 2.
It very possible that CO-3, which likely will not be decided until all the UOCAVA, signature cures, and provisionals are counted (by end of next week), will decide the majority. And THEN there is likely a recount.
Loosen your girdles, ladies. It's still a long ride.
First thanks for doing this. Second, what are the other 8 races?
BTW – I love how the NYT & WP show House races in CA as undecided when both candidates are Dems. Yes the race is undecided, but it'll be a Dem.
The Alaska senate race – which is between two Republicans – is also undecided.
Update: By my count, GOP is now just 1 away from US House Majority
My list of still too close to call: CA13, CA47, CA49, CO3, NV3, NY18, OR5, OR6.
And if one reads the New York Time, you would think the Republicans have won everything.
Oh, and one more thing about the CD3 race. Nearly all of the outstanding uncounted vote at this point is in Pueblo County. This bodes well for Frisch.
Has Bimbobert called the Mesa County Clerk on a recorded phone call asking her or him to find her just 63 more votes?
Imagine, if Tina Peters were still counting the votes!
Jon Ralston says nevada got a dump of 14 k mail ballots and Masto picked up a net 5 k, lowering her deficit to 18,000. If she keeps kicking ass like that, she wins.
Praise the lord and pass the magic mushrooms.
Has Heidi or the other statewide republicans conceded yet?
"Dices are rolling, the knives are out, would be speakers are all about…"
"Knives are out for Kevin": McCarthy's dream of becoming House speaker just became a nightmare (msn.com)
Kudos to Kirkmeyer – classy concession.
I agree, absolutely. The only gracious comment I have heard or read from Republicans, I listen to talk radio and quite frankly, thought it would help Republicans. Now, I realize how wrong I was. I think voters turned in, stuck in traffic, for local updates and got fed up with hearing all the right wing crap.
I have my fingers crossed for #3. It is 5 am Thursday and still counting.
I wish Democrats would run more radio ads, in English and Spanish. The Republicans went all out on "Freedom Radio", and on some Spanish radio stations.
Every conspiracy theory and Biden-blaming meme got air time. America First Legal ( Stephen Miller's outfit) is behind the ads.
Yes indeed. Her taking the high road rather than sending lolyers to the Adams County District Court and/or U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado comes as a pleasant surprise.
I knew Barb well in her commissioner role and always thought she was a positive, dedicated person. I
Supported Caraveo, but still respect Barb.
You really have to admire someone who bows out with dignity and grace like that.
Can you imagine if Saine had been the candidate?
Does anyone think she would do anything other than flail her arms in the air and scream, "STOP THE STEAL!"
If the nitwit behind your username loses, were going to see that and more. Fingernails-on-chalkboards screeching, kicking, whining, etc. etc. is in the cards.
