By the time you went to bed last night, there were two big statewide races in Colorado that had yet to be settled. This morning, one of them is still undecided.

Phil Weiser appears to have emerged victorious in the race for Attorney General, capturing the Democratic nomination in a close race with state Rep. Joe Salazar.

In a three-way Republican race for State Treasurer, Brian Watson is clutching to a narrow lead over state Rep. Justin Everett, but the margin is close enough that we may not know a winner until all ballots are officially counted. Here’s how the numbers looked as of this morning, via 9News:

In Montrose County, ballots are being counted by hand because of a printing error of some sort, so we may not have a resolution in this race until later in the week.
