Really curious how Colorado will vote this cycle. I was telling someone else last night that the last time CO's House popular vote went for Democrats was in 2008. Every election after that has been a series of small-medium GOP pluralities, even in 2012. They also seem to give a lot of votes to Libertarians and other 3rd parties, so not sure who that hurts more. Suffice to say that CO would be a good place to implement RCV in the future.

As someone else noted CO Indies lean incredibly Left, I recall seeing somewhere that Boulder was only plurality Dem by registration because of the indie numbers.

That probably indicates a Democratic sweep of all the statewide offices tonight. Republicans are down by a substantial amount from their 2014 levels of turnout, whereas independents are slightly ahead of them and Democrats are slightly below them.
