With so much going on today, we forgot to post the latest turnout numbers from the Colorado Secretary of State’s office. The full report can be downloaded here. For comparison, click here to see the numbers from two days ago.

As of October 27, 2010

674,864 Total Ballots Counted

(There are 3,282,855 total registered voters in Colorado as of Oct. 1, 2010)

Democrats: 239,950

– 22% of all registered Democrats

– 30% of “active” Democrats

Republicans: 280,283

– 26% of all registered Republicans

– 32% of “active” Republicans”

Unaffiliated: 150,532

– 14% of total registered Unaffiliated voters

– 20% of “active” Unaffiliated voters

The story here is pretty much the same as it has been for the last week. Republicans are not yet voting in a higher percentage than they did in 2006, when they outvoted Democrats by 6 points. Also unchanged is that Unaffiliated voters are still holding onto their ballots.

It’s also important to note that voters can no longer request absentee ballots to be mailed to their house; you could still request a mail-in ballot, but you’d have to pick it up in person at your county clerk’s office. In other words, every absentee ballot that might be cast is now out there floating around somewhere.
