DENVER (AP) -- Republicans are taking a big lead in early voting in Colorado.

A report from the Secretary of State on Friday showed that 104,000 more Republicans than Democrats had cast their ballots as the state conducts its first major mail-in election.

News from The Associated Press

Although a republican lead was expected, sounds like its much more than expected. :2wave:

This means that all the people trying to keep early voting at a lower level will be working to expand it now.

Well, Romney was expected to win a couple of years ago too, iirc. Just sayin don't get your hopes up too high. Strange things can happen during elections, and some people will go to just about any lengths in order to help their side win. ;)

Maybe you should remember 2010
 
This will be the first election in Colorado where the Democrat base will be blitzed on marijuana.

That is very true, people will go to any length to ensure a win.

Rigging one election is easier than rigging several elections.

LOL !!

They're going to have to change up the voting machines in Colorado next election.

Two Bug buttons for the pot heads.

Democrat or Republican.
 
Is it just me, or is the AP's headline misleading? As I read it, election numbers haven't been released, only how many registered to each party that have voted.

Granted, it'd be overwhelmingly the same thing, of course, but it comes off to me as irresponsible to imply it as actual election numbers.

I also question whether the Secretary of State should release any details at all, but that's another issue.

It will just be two buttons with pictures of a pot leaf on one, and Rush Limbaugh on the other. And the Rush button wont even be wired up.

An old Nixon Trickie Dickie--plant blatant lies in the willing lamestream press saying that GOPs are winning a wave election to keep Dems home--were seeing all the Atwater suppressions this time .
 
This means that all the people trying to keep early voting at a lower level will be working to expand it now.

And the Libbos will try to abolish early voting.
 
Being out here I can say that the Republicans have thier voting base very motivated here.

Pot has very little to do with things here. Rest of the world just assumes it does.

People in Colorado are not happy with the dems in office so they are putting someone else in office. Oddly we will put into office Republicans again who the people here weren't happy with. You'd think at some point people would be smart enough to stop putting the same two parties they don't like into offices.

It's important to get those excuses out early.

I'm still not in favor of early voting. Even if republicans always won early voting numbers, I'd still be against it.

I'm not either, even though I have already voted. I am with you, it doesn't matter which side benefits or not, we have election day and that is what it should be, Election Day. Not Election week, Election Month and so on. For those who are not home or can't vote that day, there is always an absentee ballot.

I'm with you two. I did vote last week because I was down at the county building to register a vehicle anyway, so I "killed two birds with one stone" so to speak, but as a general concept I'd rather we not have it.

But, at the same time, it's not like it's a total outrage, either, and is waaaaay down on my list of things to worry about.

I'm generally against early voting more than a week out, and think it absolutely should be reported in some fashion on a daily basis (similar to how the vote totals are reported for the actual final day of the electoin), and my stance on that remains regardless of who it's helping out.
