Last Ballot Return Numbers Before Voting Ends

  • 56 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

We thought we’d again start a new thread with this information (click for the earlier post), now that we’ve got the latest (and last) update from the Secretary of State’s office on ballot returns. Here are the ballot return numbers as of 3:00 p.m. today:

*Party/ Ballots Returned Thus Far/ Total Active Voters/ Percent Returned

Democrats: 310,671/ 817,458/ 38%

Republicans: 358,953/ 855,667/ 42%

As we wrote earlier, these numbers have already smashed previous turnout figures for a Primary Election in Colorado, and they don’t include turnout for El Paso and Weld Counties (which were not all-mail ballot counties). This could very well mean that Michael Bennet and Jane Norton will be the winners of their respective primaries because of their name ID advantage. We’d say the same thing for Scott McInnis in the Governor’s race, but we have a feeling the undervote in that one will be huge.

  1. not votes cast today at polling places, looks as though we’re headed to  mid-to upper 40% (Rep) and low to mid-40% (Dem) turnout rates.

    Those are amazing primary participation rates! Congratulations to Colorado.

    1. Dems want the change they were promised and members of both Parties have been activated by the long running, tired and sad results of Democrat control.

      In general, members of both groups are worse off then they were a year ago. When you are not happy you go to the poll.

      This PPP poll showing Bennet comfortable in the lead and my inside contacts still claim Bennet’s the guy. I still don’t believe it in my heart. Romanoff’s people have been pounding the house with calls every night. It sure will be interesting to see tonights results and the analysis.

      1. They kept calling Republicans but that’s to be expected.  They ran a Republican campaign and got confused about who they were trying to appeal to.

      2. both groups are worse off because Republicans chose to sit on their hands and not help lift our country up.  Their obstruction was a contributing factor to the unemployed being hurt and losses in almost every sector.

        Fortunately our president stayed the course and helped get financial reform passed and is in the process of reforming the MMS.  The country didn’t go bankrupt overnight and it won’t recover overnight.

        Anyone who thinks the president can wave a magic wand and undo the damage from a decade of Republican misrule is probably an unrepentant Republican.

        The critical thing is that the president is steady and day by day is working to end the occupation of Iraq and help those in need.  Compare that to the “I got mine screw the rest” mentality of the opposition and you know that the president is one who is really working for the average citizen.  Nothing says Republican greed like trying to extend the tax cuts for the rich.

        The president is doing a superb job given the mess he inherited.  Day by day dude things are getting better.

    1. “Ballots sent out” or “Registered,” note that it keeps getting bigger.  Compare with an earlier report.

      So yes, the numbers seem to reflect U voters who affiliate at a service center.

      When you switch, the info goes right into the SoS database.

  2. The numbers do include requested mail ballots and early voting in those counties, and the turnout is already high there before polls opened today. As of the 3 pm report:

    Weld

    Democrats – 8,065

    Republicans – 15,317

    El Paso

    Democrats – 15,941

    Republicans – 41,012

      1. 23.68% Dem and 29% GOP and not a big push at the polls today.

        I think the energy was in Denver Metro where there were local personalities at the top of the ticket.  

  3. and all said the same thing–they have been receiving LOTS of ballots.  One had already gone through four ballot boxes–and that was at noon.  

    So I think the turnout will indeed be sky high for a primary.

              1. You have been registered here for less than a month.  You have NO IDEA how much stupid shit Libby posts just to get attention.

                So in your own words, “just man up” and admit how little you know.

                1. and given the chronic negative vibe you put out into the ether you shouldn’t be so shocked when some of it comes back to you.

                  Your perennial go-to option is rude negativity. One can only wonder why that is.

                  Also, I didn’t realize blogs ran on seniority like the Senate.

                  1. There are only four people on this site for whom I have no respect.  You’re well on your way to becoming the fifth.

                    My respect is conferred not on the basis of politics or ideology, not on the basis of seniority, but for simply taking the time to read before you post.

                    You seem to be rather full of yourself.  I eat guys like you for breakfast.

        1. only weird cause I didn’t recognize the names of my neighbors printed on them.

          But there was more than enough trash to get a decent signature for two of them. For the third, I grabbed my all purpose clipboard and signed petition pages and aske her to sign for the special license plate for the Human Society.

    1. in the entire Colorado voting system.

      I have lived here for 30+ years and never once read about significant voter fraud.

      I have never worried about my vote, whether is was:

      1. mechanical lever (I miss those clunky machines)

      2. electronic button

      3. mail-in paper ballot

    1. My heart still says Norton-Romanoff in the US Senate general. Obliviously the PPP predicts otherwise … I guess this is a test of their polling skills as they called Buck-Norton at a 1point swing, but the Dem primary they claimed to be generally over.

  4. My blog gets a lot of traffic when ballots are out. It spiked when the ballots first landed, dropped back a bit over the last 3 weeks, spiked again yesterday, and then doubled again today. So my guess is votes today will be roughly twice what they were yesterday. That makes today the biggest day, but a small part of the total.
