Colorado Gov stats:

  • 2 Comments
  • by: cdsmith

Just some interesting statistics pertaining to the governors race, using data from the Rocky as of this afternoon.  The methodology, basically, is to compare election results (Beauprez vs Ritter) against voter registration (R vs D).  The data attempts to capture how well the two candidates did *relative* to the party affiliations of each county.  It probably has no statistical validity whatsoever, but I thought it was interesting.

Top 5 over-performing Ritter counties by pop.:
1. Douglas
2. Larimer
3. Jefferson
4. Arapahoe
5. Summit

Top 5 over-performing Beauprez counties by pop.:
1. Adams
2. Pueblo
3. Denver
4. El Paso
5. Boulder

Top 5 over-performing Ritter counties, plain:
1. Hinsdale
2. Jackson
3. Ouray
4. Sedgewick
5. Summit

Top 5 over-performing Beauprez counties, plain:
1. Costilla
2. Baca
3. Mineral
4. Las Animas
5. Huerfano

Summary of data is below.  Ignore the raw numbers; they are only good for comparison.

  1. I’m not sure where you analysis went wrong… maybe you didn’t take voters that aren’t Dems or GOP in to your count of registered voters? Regardless, I highly doubt Beauprez was able to convert any Dems in Boulder.

    1. Sorry; didn’t see your comment for a while.  The answer is that Beauprez didn’t do well anywhere except a few counties on the New Mexico border, and they have very small populations  (Some of them almost still made the top five list for Beauprez, though).  Boulder was one place where Beauprez didn’t tank quite so much.  There’s a strong possibility that that’s because there wasn’t much room to underperform in a county where almost no one was gonna vote for you anyway.  I didn’t give an interpretation; that’s just the way it is.  If that’s the reason, though, then it’s doubly interesting to note that El Paso was also on Beauprez’s strong showing list.

      Remember, this is how well candidates did relative to party registration; it’s not an absolute measure.
