That is a damn thin line, and I a tired of being on defense.
Yeah, but that thin line held the Dems from passing another anti-2nd Amendment legislation.
According to Ballotpedia, the 2018 CO senate battleground races that are held in Dem districts are 3, 5, 11, 20, 22. The battleground ones held by Rs are senate districts 16 and 24. There are 17 state senate seats up for elections, which 10 are Rs and 6 are Dems plus 1 held by an Independent Cheri Jahns’ District 20.
The website defines a battleground districts as,
“To determine state legislative battleground races in 2018, Ballotpedia looked for races that fit one or more of the four factors listed below:
1.If the incumbent won less than 55 percent of the vote in the most recent election prior to 2018
2.If the presidential candidate opposite of the incumbent’s party won the district in the 2016 elections and the incumbent’s margin of victory in the previous election was 10 percentage points or less
3.If the presidential candidate opposite of the incumbent’s party won the district in the 2016 elections and the incumbent did not file to run for re-election
4.If the presidential candidate opposite of the incumbent’s party won the district in the 2016 elections by 20 points or more
Other factors can also cause a race to be classified as a battleground. For example, Ballotpedia may consider an election to be a battleground race if an outside group or a national or state party announces that they are targeting a specific seat in order to flip it. We may also determine a race to be a battleground if it receives an unusual amount of media attention. Two additional factors are open seats and districts impacted by redistricting. “
