UPDATE 5:58 pm: Voting continues as delegates try to select their U.S. Senate nominees. It sounds like there could be a tight race between state Sen. Tim Neville and El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn in a battle for the top spot on the ballot. Delegates are being discouraged from leaving as ballots are still being counted, though many have bailed already; another round of voting may be necessary in the Senate race.

Here’s a Twitter update from Tyler Sandberg, former spokesperson for Rep. Mike Coffman and now a consultant in Colorado:

No one knows if #COsen 2nd ballot rumor is true but campaigns can’t afford to ignore. Most delegates have left.#COpolitics

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz dominates in Colorado thanks to a strong on-the-ground campaign. Cruz captured all 21 delegates awarded earlier through congressional district assemblies and apparently sweeps up a total of 34 out of a possible 37 delegates.
