Colorado Elections

Colorado Election Results Begin Coming In

Colorado happens to be yet another toss up state in this year’s election for Senate. If Republicans are to win the Senate, they need to win all four toss up states. The Colorado Election results are beginning to come in, and thus far the Democrats seem to be in the lead. As of 11 PM EDT 45% of precincts are reporting results.

Currently, the incumbent Senator, Bennet is ahead of the Republican candidate Buck 50% to 45% or 411,188 votes to 368,740 votes. Polls closed in the state of Colorado at 9PM EDT, so less than 50% of the votes have been counted thus far. Having said this, Bennet seems to be in a lead large enough to at least make Democrats feel a little at ease that Colorado won’t be taken from them in this 2010 elections.

The other big election in Colorado is for Governor, and as with the Senate race, the Democrat is also leading here. Hickenlooper has approximately 53% of the popular vote, compared to the Independent candidate, Tancredo who has 36% of the vote, and Republican Candidate, Maes with 9%. The vote differential is so great that CNN has already projected Hickenlooper to win the Governor’s election in the state.

There were also two major amendments being voted on in Colorado. One which would change the definition of a person so that abortions would pretty much become illegal in the state, has received 73% “no,” votes, and another which amends the Colorado constitution so that people can not be penalized for not purchasing health care, which also seems to be getting a majority of “no” votes at 55%.
