DENVER — Republicans appear to be winning the voter-turnout battle so far in the crucial swing state of Colorado, according to figures released Friday by the state Secretary of State.
A breakdown of voter turnout by party shows that Republicans have cast 244,263 votes, or 39 percent of the total, while 225,850 Democrats have voted, representing 36 percent. Another 149,877 unaffiliated votes have also cast ballots for 23.9 percent of the total.
The figures include all ballots received to date, including those submitted by mail and early-voting stations, as well as military and overseas ballots. Early voting in Colorado runs from Oct. 22 to Nov. 2.

How awas it in 2008?
Obama toast in CO.
That’s interesting, since according to all the polls showing Obama tied or ahead by a point or two, the turnout among Democrats is going to be 4 or 7 or even 11 points higher than among Republicans. If Republican turnout is actually 3 points higher than the Democrats’, that would seem to knock the pollsters’ math all higglety-pigglety. Why, it’s almost as if they were yanking voter turnout projections outst their bloomers!
Pollsters don't want to believe what is going to happen this election.

Blue counties underperform, red counties overperform. The bluer, the worse you get, the redder, the better.
One exception in OH is I do expect Cuyahoga to be strong, though not 08 levels---but the Rs have dramatically increased their presence there, so it might be a wash in terms of difference from 08.
Are you serious? A 23-point swing???
Great. I’ll give the spreadsheet a look. It’s going to be fun to watch tv in 11 days. :-)
So VA, IA, CO all trending strong GOP. OH absentees, while in absolute #s trailed Ds, were doing phenomemally well relatively and destroying the D “early advantage” here. NV is close. Washoe is keeping it close. Just a few D to R flips and a handful of indies can pull NV over the line.
Many people work for Lockheed in Colorado - they won’t be told that over 123,000 will be laid off. They are supposed to be notified no later than November 1st, BUT Obama is keeping it hushed up until after the election. The Denver Post is not reporting this either, I hope they know the fire they are playing with. There is no excuse for this outrage. I hope the word gets out to Colorado voters.
