Broomfield is #1…on this list. As “The Fix” reports, Broomfield voters are pretty good at predicting statewide election results if you compare election results from each county:
We looked at this at three levels: Closest to state results since 1960, closest since 1992 and closest in 2012. The 10 counties that have been closest to the state results on average since 1960:
1. Broomfield County, Colo.: 1.1 points average deviation from state
2. Burlington County, N.J.: 1.92 points
3. Beltrami County, Minn.: 2.03 points
4. Stutsman County, N.D.: 2.11 points
5. Poweshiek County, Iowa: 2.48 points
This is certainly interesting to note, though it is a bit misleading; the City and County of Broomfield wasn’t consolidated into one entity until 2001. But for what it’s worth, here’s how early voting looked in Broomfield as of this morning:
Democrats: 10,269
Republicans: 9,492
Unaffiliated: 10,614
So, there’s that.
